Good morning - Moderate weather is my friend! I spend most of my time outside, either alone or with family and friends. We entertain, dine, even do fiber projects - outside.

My husband, daughter & I all have bronchiectasis; my daughter & I have asthma as well, lung health is kind of an obsession for us. When masks began to be accepted, it made us much more comfortable being in groups.

When it comes to gatherings indoors - we feel pretty comfortable in indoor "wide open spaces" like arenas, dance halls and other large, high-ceiling spaces - if the crowd is very sparse, we may even go unmasked. Lots of people = N95 mask. Concerts, plays, ballgames - we wear masks. If the space is low ceiling, crowded or noisy we go if obligatory (e.g. family funeral) - masked.
Let me give you a current example - This is State Fair time - we attend along with 1 1/2 - 2 million of our "closest friends." I work 4-5 shifts in a Q & A booth. On the bus to the Fair, and going through the entrance tents, we are masked (right down to the 2 yo.) Once wandering the outdoor spaces, the masks are off. When we go into the buildings, those of us with poor lungs mask up. When I go to work, it is in a large domed & "almost outdoor" building. We are on an elevated platform, visiting with the public, and I am okay doing it unmasked, unless someone "gets in my space", then I grab my mask and put it on.

Finally when we are about to spend indoor time with close family/friends, everyone knows that respiratory infections are risky for us. Sick people stay home. It is sad to miss their presence, but it has been a way of life for us for 40 years - since my first niece was diagnosed with severe asthma as a toddler.

People in our winter home used to make fun of us, but Covid changed all that, and most of them "get it" now.
So, our philosophy is that "caution is good, isolation is not" and we go on accordingly. How are you handling being out and about?
