Maybe one in 20-30 people were wearing masks in New Orleans.  

But it might not be due to COVID, which is probably one of the least scary things you can catch in New Orleans.  Speaking of which, I hear we missed the "Swingers' Convention" by a few days.  More's the pity.

To be fair, until COVID it was illegal to wear a face mask in New Orleans on a day other than Fat Tuesday. Long memories.

Ever think you'd be allowed to wear a mask into a bank?

I have three kids and my wife is a teacher, so the other four members of my household go off each day to three separate school buildings. The kids activities have been full blast massless for over a year now, so I'd actually be shocked if this was just my second infection.

In the past year we've been to the Smokies. We've been to the beach, we've been to Florida. Unless you live in a bubble you're going to get it.  And even then you might
How are you doing now?

After that 36 hours of hell, fine.  Really, by Thursday afternoon I felt fine.  It went from every inch of my skin being on fire, to like a bad cold really quickly.  I still have a lingering cough, but coached a kids baseball game tonight, no breathing issues.

We'll see how I'm feeling this weekend. I might have to isolate in the basement with a few beers, just to be safe

looks like we might be going into a little surge from the latest covid strain

not bad yet but both new cases and deaths have increased
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Its the hospitalizations and new deaths that you have to watch and as I just said they have increased by a small extent

Im not overly concerned yet but am monitoring it

me too

I would certainly rather take a booster than a trip to the hospital

Really don't think I've had COVID yet - don't want it

Just about anyone and everyone I know, that hadn't already had it, has gotten it over the past 4-6 weeks.  Including me, of course.

The couple we went to New Orleans with last weekend, both of them tested positive yesterday.  I'm pretty sure I know exactly when they were exposed-- one of our uber drivers, who was wearing a surgical mask, was sneezing a lot.  That was on Friday.  Since my wife and I had it just a few weeks prior, I'm not worried on my own behalf.

The "long COVID" concerns me, to the extent it's a real thing.  I've not seen definitive studies on it, but I saw one had started.

I'm sure it exists, as "long symptoms" can linger for most or all viral infections.  I have no idea how prevalent it is.

Of all the folks I know who've had it, I don't know anyone complaining of lingering problems.  And that includes my 83yo and 81yo in-laws.
