Yeah, I'm not understanding it. And I don't think useful information should be hard to understand, so I hope someone can clarify.
Here's what I figure:
- If I caught it a week ago, I would be sick by now
- So, I didn't have it a week ago
- I haven't had contact with anyone outside my house for a week
And it's the same for my spouse. We can't catch it from each other if we don't have it.
So, the payoff for distancing and masks inside the house seems very low for a very high cost. I can only stand 6 months and counting of lockdown because my best friend (spouse) is locked down with me.
We did have a scare once, and did a 2-week quarantine within the house. I just don't see any point doing that all the time when neither of us have it right now.
