In reply to the discussion: Stricter Covid mask rules could've saved hundreds of thousands of lives, new study finds [View all]kwijybo
(258 posts)10. And a death sentence for those that have to live near them
I quarantined Dad for 2 weeks (Dec2020), away from the world. He needed to get out, so I took him to a Dollar . There was a woman (blonde, unmasked, MAGA) stalking the front of the cash registers ranting about how her kids wouldn't let her see her new grandkid without a mask or a test. Only one near Dad, and I couldn't get him out of there fast enough, he was infected. His already damaged heart was damaged more, he was dead within 6 months.
(I hope she burns in a hell of her own making, but that's just me)

Question for people who have got Covid - What was your routine prior? Masks? Sanitizing?
