You're correct, gastrogirl. Vaccinated people can still carry the virus if they are exposed to it. They may or may not have symptoms. As someone with a compromised immune system, you are wise to take extra precautions and continue to mask and distance when visiting with other people who may have had exposure. Visiting outdoors is also better than indoors if that is an option for you.

You’re not being too cautious! With this virus there is no “being too cautious”. It’s unpredictable and we don’t know its limitations yet. So it’s always in your best interest and unselfishly, in the best interest of others to mask up and continue to follow the Covid guidelines.

I unabashedly wear a mask anytime I’m out in public. I don’t trust other people to do the right thing. And I don’t want to risk getting seriously ill even though I’ve been vaccinated. I earned the right to wear my mask and had so many people fighting to keep me alive. I’m not risking all of that when I can possibly avoid Covid by keeping up with protection.

For all of us, following the Covid protocol is really is our only means to know that we’ve done all we can to stay safe and help get this pandemic under control. You’re using your common sense along with factual information to make your decisions. Hard to go wrong with Science, statistics and education!

Do you ever get have people questioning why you’re still wearing a mask?
