    my wife and I are maskers so. thing is we would get sick every year before covid and when the requirements started being relaxed we realized we had made it three years without being sick. Ultimately its been 7 years and we have been sick once and that was due to her being asked to remove it at the physical therapists place while doing this test and someone there was sick. So like I don’t feel like a germaphobe as much as a notbeingsickophile.
