Amen and Glory to God. People still think everyone dies or spends the rest of their life on respirators, if I don't wear my mask I'm not saving lives. Pffft

So they routinely tested all the residents? More than once? How could they tell she had it and had it for 3-4 weeks if she had no symptoms?

Yep Routine testing. They tested everybody in the whole place when it started breaking out. When she tested positive then you have to get two negatives in a row to not have it any more. So she got continual testing over those weeks.

That is also the protocol for the NFL. You have a tough gramma.

You wouldn't believe what my mother has survived over the years. Even being run over by a car and breaking her neck. She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

Wow.. sounds pretty awful. Really glad she didn't get sick though. The nasal swab sounds bad enough.

My brother, who is 64 y.o, got in a car accident on his way to an dr.appointment at the V.A...at the hospital they took him to there were people there (public, not staff) not wearing masks, not distancing themselves, etc. He had to get a cast on his wrist (shattered). He needed surgery to get pins/plates in his wrist so he had to get COVID tested prior to surg. He tested positive and his health declined. Spent a week in the hospital due to pneumonia. He is better now, but I think that it is BEYOND SAD that a serious illness has become politicized due to some folk not wanting to wear a durn mask. a little inconvenience could save lives.

Sorry to hear about your brother but glad he's recovering.
There is no true scientific evidence to prove that masks help against a virus.

Is there scientific evidence that NOT wearing a mask is better than wearing one? According to EVIDENCE-BASED science, outside of the vaccine being made available, masks reduce the spread. So I rather err on the side of evidence-based science instead of woo-woo-ism.
