After Vaccination: Concerned, not Scared.
You can get and spread Covid before symptoms, before you know (or never figure out) that you had it and were spreading it.
Any event can become a small or super-spreader.
I certainly do not want to be any part in passing the virus to someone else, one or many, I would not go.
We went to the Blue Note to see Al Di Meola a few weeks ago, (had accepted the invite months before Delta made things flare up again). The Village was swamped with people, sidewalks narrower than ever, soooo many people without masks.
Inside, tables were not spread apart as far as we hoped, luckily we were at the end of the upper level, no other tables adjacent. Servers had to lower their masks to be heard over the music. Talking loud 'in your face' you might say.
Hundreds breathing the hours long accumulated air, applauding, shouting appreciation, it definitely could have been a super-spreader event.
That was it, we went from cautious normal back to cautious, cautious normal.
Then, on Friday, we were informed that a person who we spent 5 minutes talking to the preceding Sunday (in our narrow entry hallway) had tested positive. We had mingled with only family members since then. Except, oh yeah, I got new tires for Donna's car, talked face to face with several employees, then conversed in the small waiting space. IF I passed it to any of them, just one employee or customer: off it goes. And, our family members, all vaccinated, had mixed with .......
We both got rapid testing, two hours, negative, whew.
Others who have been around this person say "I've been vaccinated", no biggie, and don't get tested or inform anybody the have been and will be around. I find that so irresponsible.
That is scary.
