We're sick

[Anonymous]

So we've been socially distancing and wearing masks outside. I've been going out each night around 10 to 11 to exercise because there are fewer people out at night.

I've been getting groceries delivered for the most part but I went shopping at Safeway last week for a major shop. I went out exercising before dark several nights last week and had joggers and bikers blow past me at a mere foot away, not wearing masks.

Now we're sick. I don't think it's COVID but whatever it is, we got it because I went inside a store or because I got too close to people not wearing masks while jogging or biking (through no fault of my own). There is no other way.

Since we got this bug, whatever it is, it's clear you can also get COVID from these seemingly minor interactions with others. I'm going to go back to being super vigilant.

Scientifically proven.

Also could be allergies? or a virus hiding like strep?

Thank you for posting, OP. People need to be reminded of this.
There have been multiple documented cases of patients catching Covid-19 through such interactions.

I am sorry to hear you somehow managed to get sick. I am fortunately not sick, but I have been very vigilant. That said, just recently I started walking in an unpopulated neighborhoods without a mask. Every once in a while someone will jog or bike past me from behind me and I would not have a chance to cross the street as I wouldn’t see them coming from behind. UGG, I guess I’ll go back to wearing my mask even while walking in a quiet neighborhood.

did you have your mask on, OP? not attacking, just curious.

Not sick, but our allergies were BRUTal this week and I’m normally not too bad.

Husband and I had sinus migraines and tiredness. My boys are sneezing. Mucinex helped tremendously.

I don't understand what you mean by this. (?)

Seasonal cold due to weather changes. That is all.

We have one kid who is a carrier of strep - he gets it and then he has spread it to us before. . .

Same OP. We got colds from something unknown. Like the grocery store. Ugh.

Care to post citations?

I think threads like this are designed to create hysteria and shame anyone who goes grocery shopping or walks through their suburban neighborhood (without a mask).

Maybe it's just allergies. Thanks.

I wear a mask when I'm out and about around other people. When I go out late at night, I wear it under my chin in case I need it. But going out earlier, yes, I was wearing it. A lot of other people were also out walking and jogging and biking. I can go into the street to avoid someone coming toward me from the front, but blowing past me from behind -- nothing I can do to avoid that.
