Doug found out yesterday that he was with someone earlier in the week that was showing signs of the coronavirus. He decided in our family's best interest that he would social distance from the rest of us and wear a mask when he couldn't be six feet away. He was positive that he hadn't been exposed to the illness even if the person did have COVID, but he wanted to be cautious just in case.
I was glad that Doug took the illness seriously. We have seen so many others in our area that have chosen to ignore the CDC guidelines to stay healthy. I was also thankful that it was a beautiful weekend as we could spend the majority of our time outside. I had recently bought an air purifier for the home which we put to good use when we were inside at all. In the end we realized that social distancing, wearing a mask and spending time outdoors didn't really change much of what we typically do on the weekends. Doug was able to do finish yardwork, we still played Ticket to Ride (from opposites ends of the table), he wore a mask and frequently washed his hands when he prepared food, we set up the projector to watch the NBA playoffs and several movies, and had nightly bonfires. Overall, we enjoyed the weekend as we generally do and neither one of us minded the slight change to our plans. Wearing a mask has gotten to be routine in our family so having it on at home really wasn't that big of a deal.
