81. Paul is my husband of decades....

I never leave the house. I work from home, so don't need to. When he goes out, he's always masked. Not sure how it happened. He was tested yesterday, but I'm not confident in the test they did, because it wasn't the stick up the nasal cavity, only a swab inside the nose.
