Oh, wow...cannot believe someone hugged you whilst they were unwell. And they knew what you were dealing with?? A coworker of mine...in a huge office...was getting chemo about 12 years ago. It was explained to everyone what was going on, why she was wearing a mask and how to keep a safe distance from her and her desk when we needed to talk with her. Everyone respected this as far as I know. And she never got sick during chemo. I wish more people were educated about this and respected these situations!

We were at "kaffe klatsch" this morning, and one friend was seated away from the group, she explained she will be traveling soon and is trying to avoid any accidental exposure before departure.
Everyone was accepting, even suggesting a mask - but as a cochlear implant wearer she said it was too hard for her, so she doesn't expect anyone to try to understand her.
But we are in a community of mutli-generation households, so masks are common in the the grocery store, church and elsewhere - we are grateful to not be judged.

I am very careful. I have had numerous COVID vaccines, starting before the general public got theirs [had to get special permission from the county health officer, as I was starting chemo], and all my flu and RSV ones too. My husband knows that when he takes off on his trips, he has to come back and show me a negative COVID test before coming back into the house.
