7. My daughter did "all the right things" and still got it.

Dec 2020

She has been wearing a mask out in public since March. She washes her hands and uses tons of hand sanitizer when out. She works at a bank where employees are required to wear masks although she says some still pull them down to talk. She keeps hers on the entire time she is in the building. She wears gloves in the bank because money is filthy. The bank has small plexiglass panes in front of the teller windows. Not all the customers would wear masks. They were only allowed to offer them masks and not enforce mask wearing even though our county and the town the bank is in have mask mandates. One customer went off on her for offering a mask and as he left the bank, after she finished his transaction, he turned back to her and told her to go f*ck herself not once but twice as he flipped her off with both hands. Since that event her bank manager has told his employees they can refuse to serve anybody who comes in without a mask. They are to tell them to use the drive thru if they don't want to wear a mask.

She doesn't eat inside restaurants. She doesn't go in friends' homes. She hasn't even been in our house since before March. It's just her and her husband living in their house. He has tested negative, she tested positive. She had a mild case. She never even had a fever. She lost her sense of taste and smell but it is slowly returning. She quarantined for 15 days. She went back to work last week. She then found out that two of her coworkers, both who wear their masks properly all day, also tested positive and were in quarantine the same time she was.

Apparently if only some people do "all the right things" it's just not enough. Maybe because she did all the right things is the reason she had a mild case?
