I don't do restaurants a lot anymore, mostly just for special occasions and during travel, but I have some prophylactic measures to make that a little less risky, and I mask until it's time to eat & between courses. The same was true for our whisky tastings in Scotland.

I've pretty much given up on conventions, in large measure because local people have *demonstrated* that they will go to cons when they know they're sick; but also, I didn't enjoy the last few I went to, so it's probably for the best.

I avoid very small spaces with lots of people close to each other. Spaces with high ceilings, open windows, and/or obvious air filtration are a little less risky. (I would LOVE IT if businesses that have upgraded their ventilation/filtration/HVAC would advertise that!)

I do not want COVID again; I was sick for 3 weeks and have never been *that* sick for *that* long before. (Also I was treated like shit by my employer for having COVID.) I'm at higher risk now. My spouse is at higher risk. Masks & caution are a *small* price to reduce our overall risk.

I play in orchestra rehearsals and concerts masked. I sing at church masked. I exercise at the gym masked. I worked in clean rooms and wore masks for 12-hour shifts before the pandemic even started.
