Excellent advice @gingerw 😊
When you eat out at off times, do you wear your mask until the food comes? Do you eat outside or inside?
Also, how do you "vet" your dinner companions? Is it okay to ask friends of friends if they are vaccinated, and what do you think of asking if they would take a covid rapid test before meeting them for dinner...is that over the top? Or is it best to just say no when I am invited to a meal out when I don't know everyone really well. (Or should I sit near the people that I know are safe?) I usually just say no, but I would also like a little social life. But after this "covid week of misery", I am thinking of going back to "no thank you". I keep weighing my mental health and my physical health priorities when it comes to eating out. Before transplant and before covid, eating out was a favorite pastime!

@hello1234 Yes, I wear my mask dining out until the food comes. Outside if it is nice weather, and there is a low-traffic area. I do vet who comes to my house, who I eat with. I won't let my husband's former daughter-in-law and her four kids visit, they haven't been vaccinated. Nor will I let just anyone in the house. Deliveries are done on the porch. I only eat with those who have been vaccinated, and will eat in a quiet location in a restaurant.

I go to meetings in our little town, always masked. People know I am immunocompromised, and don't question the mask at all. It is a safeguard for me.
