I had surgery about a month ago and masks were required in the waiting room but not well enforced, some people weren't wearing one at all. My partner got covid while waiting for me and then I got it while I was still recovering from surgery. It really sucked.

How do you know your partner got it there? They could have gotten it a grocery store for all you know.

We were entirely isolated the week before I had surgery because if I got covid they'd cancel the surgery.

LOL I'm getting down voted because I tried not to get covid before a planned surgery? Or because my partner probably picked up covid in a crowded waiting room full of coughing people during peak covid season?

I think you were initially downvoted because every branch Covidian always has a just-so story about how they caught it.

My partner was masked and I was in surgery so I didn't really have a choice as to if I was wearing one or not. I'm more diligent than most about mask wearing (15+ hour workdays, basically anywhere public, not going out to eat or indoor events when case numbers are high)
