Then positive second day. What saved me is we sleep separately because of sleep issues. On vacation I usually get two beds in room but final day on vacation hotel made mistake and gave us suite with two bedrooms. When he had symptoms and tested negative that first night i stayed away because I wanted to visit daughter told him to stay in room a few days because I didn't want to catch his cold.

Then next day he tested positive and got sicker so I was glad I had separated from him and not let him hang out in rest of house.

He caught it on our vacation at the end. I remember a lady coughing near him on ferry I immediately left the area but he stayed at table near her.

Yup. I'm keeping my mask on in indoor public settings. nt SunSeeker Aug 2022 #1
Even if study says "water is wet", like this one, studies still necessary, beneficial & worth it. nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2022 #2

I'd bet that mask wearers are also more focused on hand washing and other efforts. oldsoftie Aug 2022 #5
Right. The study showed correlation, not causality. thesquanderer Aug 2022 #15

Did they control for vaccination status? Mask wearers are much more likely to be vaxxed and progree Aug 2022 #13
