strange days

 I don't really know how to be. Today I should be officially out of quarantine—14 days, though now the CDC is saying a week is enough. But I have been up to my upstairs neighbor's apartment multiple times a day to help her with food and drink and baths. And she does not wear a mask, and nor do I much of the time. I probably couldn't catch anything from her—she has hardly been out in months. But she could have caught something from me, or her daughter. And then there is my downstairs neighbor. She wears a mask when she visits me, but I do not. Is this okay? It's all very tough to figure out.

And with each additional person, the bubble gets bigger. My upstairs neighbor has been going to doctors and having health care workers in. Her daughter's kids will be going back to school. I will be seeing people, and I don't know who they have been seeing. (I have the additional issue that, since I am half deaf, I lip read some and it is hard to understand people with masks on.) How much can you control the situation? How to parse being rude and being safe? Strange days have found us. 

Masked.

 Unmasked. Where is the comfort zone?
