Covid carryovers

Me, too. A few days after our waitress at breakfast started coughing in a way that made H & I cringe, I tested positive for Covid. H didn’t get it, so I may have picked it up during one of my two outpatient procedures that week. But it made me feel like cringing at the coughing was justified. I also understood that this waitress, who works two waitress jobs to make ends meet, might not be able to take time off when sick … and wearing a mask in our area would probably result in reduced tips for her. I don’t condone it if she was sick, came to work anyway, and chose not to wear a mask. But I understand it. Of course, she may simply have had allergies. :woman_shrugging:

And this thinking is a big change from the things that would have crossed my mind pre-Covid.
