You are deliberately missing the point.

One of my first cousins had covid and is still recovering. It's a brutal illness for those who have developed a severe case. She did not have to be hospitalized thank goodness. Her son is the emergency room nurse I have mentioned who works at Einstein. He has a 9 month old and is still kind of a newlywed. The ritual he must go through once he is home is really involved. Plus, I'm pretty sure he is self-isolating at home.

I can hear them and see them leaving each time.

I'm an essential worker and have to interact with people during the week, so this is concerning as I'm trying to do my part. I've googled around and found no helpful info, although I know it's probably a difficult gray area to enforce anyway.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

P.S.: I live in Bucks County, not in Philly proper, just in case that makes a difference in who to contact.

So, umm is this a joke or are you serious? Really can not control what one does in their own residence, at least when it comes to them having people over.

Not a big deal. If you go on a site like etsy where they sell home made masks, there are all different types of designs available.

I do wear a mask but refuse to quarantine myself.
I'm not wiping down my mail and cannot wait for this to end.
Luckily I'm back to work next Monday

Without out all kinds of testing we literally have no idea who is asymptomatic or who actually had "mild symptoms" with the latter indicating they may have a level of immunity. We need antibody testing. Period.

The end point in some way will not happen without a lot more testing. A vaccine is probably a long way off. Hopefully there will be better treatment before hand.

I hope going back to work will be safe for you.

I'm not living in abject fear. But at the same time I will take precautions I view as keeping myself safe and others safe.

Btw, asymptomatics are spreaders. How do you think this spread so quickly?

The only reason I’m taking any precautions is because I don’t want to get other people sick. I just am not a risk-averse person and am not really that concerned about getting the virus because I’m not in a high-risk group. Call me naive or stupid but if I knew that it was only a risk to myself and not to others, I’d be out and about tomorrow living life normally. It’s just not worth it to me to live life in isolation for the foreseeable future on the 1% chance I’d get a serious case of the virus. That being said, because I can affect others and recognize that others could be affected by my actions, I am following all the protocols and never go outside without a mask and think it’s incredibly selfish for people to not follow the rules.
