Matt that definitely sounds like something I would do.
Had my telehealth appointment with my therapist I've been looking forward to August because he was going to start doing in person appointments but he's delayed that indefinitely. He had one in patient appointment with a vaccinated client, outside, 6ft way, both masked- but the client called him to say he'd tested positive for Covid. Then his daughter's boyfriend's brother got covid despite being vaccinated.
My therapist has a son who is too young to be vaccinated and for that reason he's not going to take any chances. So I'll be telehealthing for awhile longer.
I haven't been wearing a mask at work and I know I need to start wearing one. I have noticed more people wearing masks, it went from almost nobody, to seeing more masked customers, especially families.

The CDC announced today that vaccinated people in high-risk areas (about 2/3 of all US counties) should go back to wearing masks indoors: [link]
I'm not quite sure what to make of this, from the CDC's announcement: "vaccinated people infected with the Delta coronavirus variant can have as much virus as those who are unvaccinated." I don't know if that means they're asymptomatic carriers or if they actually develop Covid. I guess it could probably be both, at least in some people.
I wear a mask most of the time I'm away from home - even to go down the hallway to dump trash. I don't wear one while sitting at my desk at work, but do when I step away. I get aggravated at the people who ignore the signs on Metro that masks are required - they can get a mask when they go in, but there doesn't seem to be anything to make them wear masks. It seems to be mainly tourists.
Comment of the day in regard to the vaccines? "You have a better chance of lightning striking your nipple rings than you have of dying or being harmed by the vaccine."
We've got him a rapid test scheduled for tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it's negative and just allergies.
AUGH. It might also be this respiratory thing going around. My mom, my husband, and I all caught it, and Husband and Mom were hit hard with it.
My boss has a bad respiratory infection - he's gone to the doctor and been assured it's not COVID, is taking antibiotics and is actually getting better. Seemingly, it's going around.
Ugh, everyone -- stay safe and fingers crossed! I think it's time for N95 masks for all.
I'm now annoyed with my formerly favorite site, covidactnow.org, for weighting the infection rate at least as high as the number of cases, so MA gets put back in the bad category, when our actual numbers are still quite low. They are growing faster than they should be, for sure.
I just want a good grade, which I know is stupid.

I'm slightly paranoid, so when I started reading about how the Delta variant is hitting Israel, which has a higher vaccination rate than the US, I bought a box of KN95s. I feel like maybe I should buy more. I don't think cloth masks are going to cut it with this Delta variant.
A friend asked me why I was so worried, because she thought people can't get Covid twice. And prior to the Delta variant, it's true that there were very very few cases reported of a person getting Covid twice. But this variant might be different, and I don't want to learn the hard way. And I don't want to be an asymptomatic carrier, either.
Yeah, I just sent DH the most recent map where Florida is 100% red and where I am in New York is yellow or blue. I am not going to want to leave the house when I am down there next week! [link]
