I saw someone on the news delivering vaccines to a medical facility and his mask was not covering his nose at all.

I've been talking with more people like me who are pretty sure they had covid last winter, but we couldn't get antibody tests from our doctors/insurance to confirm our immunity. Others know for a fact they had it due to positive covid tests. These groups 1) should not have restrictions on them and 2) like Trump should volunteer to go to the back of the vaccine line.
Pets can get covid too. This makes sense because the virus was in animals before it was in humans. Yet there are no mask mandates for pets. Think of an outdoor cat and all the places it goes unsupervised.
The reason is masks are disgusting and the animal would keep clawing nonstop to get it off. We have more regard for animals than for humans.
A better approach is to social distance and this sweater can help those who do not know what 6 feet is:

I said there should be something like this in the spring and now there is!
You don't hear much about surface contact spread these days. Maybe it has been overshadowed by masks and social distancing and is still a risk? There was a day when I would let groceries, mail, packages, etc. sit out to decontaminate and take out is still out for me. I've mostly discontinued all of that although hand washing is still in. I've wondered with the big winter spike if i should be more careful.
Here is a reasonable discussion of surface contamination and the virus. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/2020...-the-real-risk
According to the CDC website:
COVID-19 spreads less commonly through contact with contaminated surfaces.
Respiratory droplets can also land on surfaces and objects. It is possible that a person could get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.
Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be a common way that COVID-19 spreads
COVID-19 rarely spreads between people and animals
It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations. CDC is aware of a small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19. Learn what you should do if you have pets.
At this time, the risk of COVID-19 spreading from animals to people is considered to be low. Learn about COVID-19 and pets and other animals.
Thanks. That's helpful. Sounds like it is possible for surface contact spread, but most unlikely.
I had an interesting pet situation come up. A friend invited a small group of four for an outdoor meal and evening discussion around a fire pit. Someone asked about their people friendly dog. I wasn't able to attend, but did think about friendly dog licking one hand and then going to the next person to be petted or to lick another's hand.
I heard on the radio there were no covid deaths in New Hampshire yesterday. The Granite State is fine with me going there but my governor prohibits it. So to "protect" me he insists I stay in a higher risk area. Talk about stupid nanny statism.
So what are you going to do about it?Originally Posted by Yppej
Again, the information that Jeppy presents is incorrect. Travel is not prohibited, but you are asked to quarantine when you get back or have a negative covid test.heard on the radio there were no covid deaths in New Hampshire yesterday. The Granite State is fine with me going there but my governor prohibits it. So to "protect" me he insists I stay in a higher risk area. Talk about stupid nanny statism.
Plus, NH did not have zero deaths. Today there were 21. https://patch.com/new-hampshire/conc...-deaths-update This was the highest death rate of this pandemic.
