I'm saying that if you travel somewhere and hole up for 14 days with no symptoms, science says you are just as good to go out with precautions as anyone else. You have integrated into a new community.

That is your right, and all the fear won't change that.

It is a far cry from the idiots out protesting and violating personal space. Btw, those are locals, not visitors.

And you are welcome also.
