A couple here use the 'testing trick' to not explain to others they will not get vaccinated. I should mention they were 'former' friends.

This is why I used pick up at the friggin store. I could do delivery and it's tempting.

Well, I probably would have said asshole really loud and put as much distance between me and that lump of human toxic waste as possible. If I was in the check out lane I might even have added "I'm outta here!", just left my cart and walked out.
I do know you can look like death and just be having a bad allergy day. My neighbor just went thru a bad allergic reaction, looked like shit but didn't feel too bad. She tested negative and her doctor switched her meds.
Still COVID numbers are up and deaths continue.

And this is why I always wear a mask and avoid crowds. The Univ of Nebr Med Center is monitoring waste water, and I have a friend who works there and keeps everyone updated of the numbers. She's still wearing a mask, so I will be also. My newest grandchild was born this morning, what a world she is coming into.

I have been off work as I am caring for Kate. I went to work yesterday, to turn in my time card for the previous week and was told that a fellow worker tested positive for Covid, last week another did the same. I left quickly.

That would piss me off, and I'd probably say something rude to him. Like: "take your disease out of here!"

Some municipalities are testing wastewater for the amount of COVID virus. The number of hospitalized and deaths are being reported but home testing means that the number of infections is grossly understated. Every infection is a possible source for a new variant.

I rarely see anyone else wearing a mask here and routinely get dirty looks.
