    Meh. We had a friend over for dinner tonight that we know has been very careful. Her boyfriend in PA has a son who just showed up with a fever, so she is not going there this weekend.

    You do what you reasonably can to minimize risk, but there is no way to eliminate it other than totally isolating.

      I do know people who haven't been into a store in over 6 months. I also know people who've been to weddings and caught Covid (thankfully it was mild)

      My biggest problem is forgetting to do stuff - like forgetting to put a mask on, or leaving it in the house. I've got used to it. We were all really worried back in March, but now apart from the fact that we don't go to restaurants and I work from home, it's pretty much normal. I have no choice where I work, so it's really out of my hands. The office let's the lab staff work, and a skeleton crew of management, but everybody else has to stay home.

      Cautious isn't the same as scared.

      I was only joking

        I'd tell you what Jolly's definition is, but he's refused to answer outside of providing vaguely applicable Bible passages.

                      So technically it’s not HIPAA., but the privacy concerns are the same and very real. Employers and coworkers should try to respect an employee’s privacy where possible, or do you disagree?
