Good morning SW 🌞 Should we all put on our masks and go out for breakfast?

@Stereoguy Eh, we've had that policy since mid March over here in Veneto/IT, more or less. It'll feel kinda strange for us to go out without one now. 😬

@Stereoguy Almost everyone over here, that's why it'll feel strange lol

@Stereoguy Always wore one. I've managed to buy a pack of 200 early when the cost didn't skyrocket yet, and I've avoided to go out unnecessarily not to deplete my stock too fast, personally. I still have more than half left lol, I'll keep using them for going to the supermarkets and analogous places.

I also have one of the washable ones I used in low-risk places, such as for the travel to work. Once there we have all the distancing, temperature monitoring and guidelines in place, and so I'm not required to wear any during my shift.

(Plus I'm 90% I've had it already, and I'm probably immune already, I'm not overly worried - but still, I follow the rules of course)

@Stereoguy Well, if that means I'm immune now, and if the symptoms were only those I experienced (a very mild throat ache, loss of the sense of smell/taste and a 37.5°C temperature for less than a week - and my other family members more or less the same with also a random dry cough), I hope we all did already.

And aside from having been in close contacts for 8h/day without distances nor masks nor anything with colleagues who had very compatible symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, high temperature, chest pain, intense cough similar to when something gets stuck in your airways lasting weeks), days before the first cases of local transmission were discovered less than 50km from here, more or less the end of February, I've also had contacts with people who later have been officially tested and confirmed positive with covid-19. The problem is that back then they couldn't yet test people who only had suspicious contacts and/or mild symptoms like me, they just told me to self-isolate for 14 days and I never got a swab.

@Stereoguy Oh, I'm well, like I said those symptoms didn't last for more than a week for me, and were very mild. A burning-like feeling in the throat still comes and goes, especially at morning/night, but I'm treating it with single malt scotch whisky (jk, lol)

If I manage to get myself serologically tested for IgG I'll sleep better at night for sure. There is still that 10% chances eroding me from the inside 😬
