I'm the most careful person I now - and I likely had it just before Christmas.

I can still count on 10 fingers the number of times I've eaten indoors with people who do not live with me since March 2020. Never stopped masking. Test regularly.

I do continue living in this world, but never outside of my home without a well-fitted close-weave mask (and now KN94s).

I never tested positive (not even with a PCR test), but my daughter who had identical (but enhanced) symptoms 6 days later tested positive. (And I'm now past her contagious period without getting it - and I was fairly well exposed to her during that time so if I didn't give it to her she most likey got it from me.

Sorry about your mom - and I'm furious, too.
