Hello, I have. If I do to put its in very small groups of 3 it 4. This MAC has changed my life. I keep telling myself this is temporary and this too shall pass. .. I am on the 3 antibiotics + Ariykace. Just keep reminding yourself this is temporary...

During Covid we stopped. Then we formed a tiny circle - us, our kids & grands, and stayed apart if anyone had any illness.

We have gradually widened our circle, but indoor crowd events are still limited. We do outdoor things, even in crowds, without much concern. The air movement is excellent at diluting germs and carrying them away. (This was well-documented in 2020 during the protests and marches after the death of George Floyd - we saw no uptick in COVID infections during that time.)

We have gone to a few funerals fully masked, but have passed on other crowded social events. We have gone to "arena" events - where there is a lot of space & air movement, but we wear masks if we will be within 6' of others for any amount of time.

As the outdoor dining season is ending here in MN, we will go back to last year's practice of meeting friends in small groups during off-hours to eat out. The "upside" is really good service! Or we bring takeout to someone's home.

Just our way of dealing with this now long-term issue. Neither of us has caught Covid, flu, or a cold following this plan for over a year now.

When we eat out, we are very selective. I avoid salads and choose only cooked dishes with cooked vegetables. I used to eat a lot of lettuce, uncooked spinach and herbs. But now, I avoid all of them unless cooked. I also avoid fresh strawberries and mushrooms.
