    There’s a fair bit of masking or luck involved in that at this point. The current crop of COVID vaccines don’t prevent disease for more than a few months.

      I just avoid most people. But with two young kids, yes, we are lucky. Not a single case of covid in our household.

      Probably doesn’t hurt that we are all vaccinated, remind our kids to wash every time they come inside from playing, do most play with others outside (playground, bike ridesz etc), and I work from home about 95% of the time.

        I still do so 99% of the time I’m indoors in public, and I’m usually the only one. I used to have an issue when cloth masks were still a thing because inhaling would pull it against my face and trigger claustrophobic reactions. But ever since the pre-formed duckbill N95s became widely available it’s a non-issue. I even use them for mowing the lawn to stave off allergies. If a fat old man can breathe just fine doing yard work in an N95, the snowflakes removed about paper surgical masks restricting their oxygen are full of shit.
