It's just a mask

[Rajoo]

This story should be a cautionary tale and happened in one of the most liberal and upscale counties in the SF Bay Area. This is from May, so vaccinations were perhaps not readily available.

The Marin County, Calif., elementary school had been conscientious about following covid-19 protocols. Masks were required indoors, desks were spaced six feet apart, and the students kept socially distant. But the delta variant found an opening anyway.

On May 19, one teacher, who was not vaccinated against the coronavirus, began feeling fatigued and had some nasal congestion. She dismissed it as allergies and powered through. While she was usually masked, she made an exception for story time so she could read to the class.

By the time she learned she was positive for the coronavirus two days later, half her class of 24 had been infected — nearly all of them in the two rows closest to her desk — and the outbreak had spread to other classes, siblings and parents, including some who were fully vaccinated.

I am still chafing at the fact that I got yelled at for wearing a mask inside my car with another person in the front, who was also wearing a mask. He has three young children who are not vaccinated, so this was more as a consideration to them. We are both vaccinated of course.
