Glad that it was a mild case and it didn’t spread to the rest of the family. Unfortunately there are 190,000 stories that didn’t workout that way.Just an update, since I forgot earlier, since it turned out to not be a big deal for us

I think they should change it to 'uncommonsense' since it is so uncommon ...Logic and commonsense are such a lonely words nowadays.
That sounds like the best possible strategy! Enjoy the riding!So I take prudent precautions - then go ride a motorcycle all over the place which is nothing more than a organ donor machine according to some ....
I do agree with you that the mask is a PITA if one wears glasses.The mask is such a pain in the ass, that I have to mess with it all the time anyway. Leave it on, take it off, doesn't matter. I wear glasses. Its a constant struggle to keep the glasses from fogging up and so I'm messing with the mask. Taking it on and off as needed is less messing with it than simply wearing it.
That has historically been the case in non-agrarian small villages - which is why the plague epidemic wiped out so many people in Europe in the middle ages, and why the aboriginal villages in Canada were hit so hard with smallpox, etc. when Europeans migrated to North America. In agrarian communities, folks are spread out and self-sufficient and don't necessarily meet on a daily basis. In contemporary native villages in Canada, everyone is packed it quite tightly into a small area, this to facilitate the provision of electricity, water, etc. to the homes.Actually the remote small communities in Canada have the greatest fear for the virus, I guess they live such intertwined lives that if one has the virus most have the virus.

What I do is keep a small pocket-size bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket & in the door pocket of my car. I take the mask off (drop it around my neck) if I am in the car, or outdoors, but before I do that, I sanitize my hands. Similarly, I sanitize my hands before I put the mask back on.
That seems to me to be the right balance between protection (wearing the mask) and going nuts (foggy glasses).

Sort of like in the hills in Tennessee.In agrarian communities, folks are spread out and self-sufficient and don't necessarily meet on a daily basis.

Ah, now you've quit preaching and gone to meddling ...Getting use to the mask took a day or two. I think it is like most things if start with a good attitude it works.
Or walking around outside wearing a mask. Keeping flies out of their mouths?I like the ones that are in a car all by themselves with a mask on. Who are they protecting? Themselves?
At the USMCRDs (those two lovely government sponsored resorts) it might be the sand fleas ....Or walking around outside wearing a mask. Keeping flies out of their mouths?

All this fear is so disgusting.
i’ve had this for about a week now
The only residual thing I have is a little bit of shortness of breath related to my asthma.
Thanks for all the well wishes.What age bracket are you?
Do you know how you contracted the virus?
What you call "fear", we call precaution. I already had two friends and one family infected and it wasn't fun on bit for them. Why would we take a chance of infecting my 75 year old in laws with something that is lethal at their age? The mask is a no brainer here. Seriously, you need to buy yourself some empathy for others.
