   Spouse, with #N95 mask, was in a building she been visiting weekly for many years, sees proprietor close up in hallway. He coughs hello, wearing a scarf over his face.

   Huh?

   Desk person later confirms,

   "Oh, he has covid."

   So, spouse was exposed today?

   We are starting Exposure Protocol inside our household.

   To limit further infections, if she contracts #COVID. Mask around each other.

   We have people to protect. Family. Vulnerable friends.

   A fucking scarf!

   Tired of this carelessness!

     Got home, calmed down, got story from N95-masked spouse:

     It was a little stuffy lobby that the face-scarf friend was in, so room prob had lot of virus. Exposure brief, few minutes. Spouse had tight #n95.

     "Exposure Protocol" goes like this:

     Presume exposed person infected. They wear N95 in house. Okay to remove mask in closed isolation room, towel at door base. Furnace has HEPA filter. Monitor for symptoms, test with #COVID / #Flu RAT repeatedly. Call all-clear after several days neg tests.
