    I’ve been doing this and still somehow managed to catch it about a year ago. One of the few people at that event that was wearing a mask and somehow I’m the one that gets it…

    Don’t know if I’m ever going to stop wearing a mask.

      Cause masks prevent others from getting your diseases.

      If everyone else wasn’t wearing a mask, then you were prone to getting their diseases.

      It happens. Since the beginning of the pandemic I’ve caught something exactly once, a couple of months ago. I did a PCR test however while symptomatic and it came out negative. So did my wife when she got it a couple of days later. My point is that something got through the defense protocol and could easily have been SARS-CoV-2. I only know it wasn’t because I tested for it.
