Stay home if you sick π·
That was the advice of the pandemic and solid advice all together. I tried to do that as much as I could while I was sick the past few days, though I did work down at the library and Five Rivers Environmental Education Center as I needed the internet. I took sick days from my state work, phoned in to my in person meeting rather than show up sick and risk giving everybody else this terrible cold.
That said, I couldn’t avoid all interactions with public places. I had to go poop at Five Rivers on Friday so I ended up using the restroom using a wearing a mask and I also needed gas and due to an issue with my debit card had to pay cash inside. Again wearing a mask. Still I know in many ways it was irresponsible even to do those two public interactions while recovering from a cold.
I’m still waiting to feel a bit better before heading back out to the grocery store. Probably tomorrow. Not just because I don’t feel hundred percent recovered but also because I don’t want to risk getting others sick. Plus staying home saves money though at some point I’ll need food again.
