[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8649281, member: 19675"] True, and as a medical family, we all know this is true [I]on average.[/I] But Mom is extremely extroverted, and a trip to the grocery that I might complete in 20-30 minutes turns into a 60-90 minute trip with her as she socializes with staff and other customers. Last week, she struck up a convo with a sharp-dressed man and his wife to discuss fashion, insisting I give him a couple of pointers (shoes & hats). That alone took 15 minutes. EDIT: Additional into- we’ve been to two unmasked public events. One was a celebratory late brunch at a country club (6 attendees, all vaxxed) and a 50th wedding anniversary celebration with a few dozen people (again, all vaxxed). Of course, being vaccinated is no guarantee, and we had no way of employees’ statuses, either. One would hope… Yes, that’s still different from going to a restaurant, but Mom prefers to hit restaurants at off-peak hours anyway (as do I), which would minimize her risks. [/QUOTE]
