    I will show positive for 3 months. Are you advocating that I close myself in for that entire period?

    I would, I have contained myself since mid March. We did go to Buster's BBQ once but we wore masks and maintained a six foot distance until we sat at our table which was about 15 to 20 feet away from anybody else until we put our masks back on and left. That was our only social experience in the last five months unless you want to count our medical procedures as social experiences or bank visits or grocery shopping. No movies, no gym visits, no other restaurant visits, no movies, no greeting anyone at the front door unless masked and at a distance. We are very careful.

    And this is why this country has sucked at fighting COVID.

    What do you advocate? I mean, really? Why not masks and social distancing when we go out? When I took my trip, I took every precaution. I did. Except once, when having breakfast with my wife and a nurse friend of hers. I swear that's how I got it.

    Now? OK, they claim I'm not a carrier, but I will absolutely continue to take every precaution when going out. Going out would consist of a weekly grocery trip, doctor if necessary, a trip here and there to the hair salon, etc. I work from home.

    I'll be going to that movie tomorrow.

    Oh, and, yeah, sure, I've been poking fun at Sly and his upcoming vacation. But, ya know what? He SHOULD take that trip. And, without any of the razzmatazz from y'all like I received. I'm sure they'll be plenty masked up and all the social distancing measures will be in place.

    One person said you shouldn't go on your Utah trip.

    That's hardly razzmatazz.

    Nah, it's all in fun (except for riverman). I know. I can take the jabs. But, I do want you to know that if and when you take this trip of yours, you'll be pretty much doing the same thing as I did. Riverman was quite pointed when he said now is NOT the time to be taking any trips.

    I imagine you'll be flying, staying in a hotel, going to casinos, eating in restaurants, and the like. Correct? I say have fun and be safe!

    The majority of the posts you are quoting are about you wanting to go to the movies very recently AFTER being infected.

    Those are very different things.

    OK, I stand corrected on razzmatazz.

    That acknowledged, I imagine you'll be flying, staying in a hotel, going to casinos, eating in restaurants, and the like. Correct?

    Every precaution? Did you limit and pay attention to everything you touched? Did you wash your hands enough? Did you touch surfaces(arm rests), magazines, etc and maybe not think about it carrying covid? Its not just transmitted person to person. A mask is great but it's not every precaution, neither staying away from others. There is more needed to do to stay clear of the virus, especially if you are traveling.

    Hopefully, Sly takes all these precautions and is safe. It is a gamble to travel right now, whoever does it.

    Great questions. I'd have to say yes. Apart from family at the very beginning of the trip, we kept to ourselves. We stayed in Hiltons, who are very serious about their COVID sanitation processes. Washed hands/face plenty. No magazines, etc. Plenty of social distancing. I still very much think I contracted it from that nurse friend.

    Why do I care what you're imagining about my vacation?

    You've now brought up my trip in 5 different threads in the OT section.

    But fine, if I have time I will create a thread about my trip just for you.

    You've chosen not to answer my basic, simple question from the get-go. Why? It's obvious. You're not wanting to draw attention to your trip in light of me taking a trip, getting COVID, etc., etc. That said, you very well could have said when I asked you way back something like, "Sure. I'm taking a trip to Vegas. So what? We plan to be safe. Very safe." Instead, I get crickets. Look, again, I couldn't care less. What I DO care about in here is that we're gonna travel! And, we don't need scoldings, etc. when we do. Nor do we need scoldings if we, say, want to take in a movie or such. Shoot, a movie is no different than a Las Vegas show, casino, or the like. I'm bringing attention to these comparisons for good reason.

    I'm done dogging you on the subject.

    I couldn't care less...he says while bringing it up in 30 different threads and demanding answers. lol

    I'm sure most don't give Sly shit because throughout the pandemic, he has presented himself as someone who...actually believes in it and the threat of it. Listens to science and doctors. Someone who sounds like he actually takes precautions. Who showed concern from the start. He hasn't mocked politicians for wearing masks. He hasn't been dismissive of facts. Actual facts, not convoluted bullshit. He hasn't flaunted going out. He hasn't talked about family gatherings over holidays. He didn't talk about holiday parades. He hasn't discussed multiple day and weekend trips taken throughout the pandemic. He hadn't discussed a cross country 19 day or whatever road trip. And he didn't fucking TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID and then immediately start discussing wanting to go to the god damn movie theater.

    YOU are actually going to diss someone for not answering a “basic, simple question from the get go”????? Really??? Really??? The guy who throws one turd into the punch bowl after another, than bobs, weaves and runs out of the room??
    You really are a piece of work. But then, we know you’re really a nice guy.....because you tell us so. I’m beginning to think the ABM shtick is really a Trump (Sr. or Jr.) burner account. something to fill the time between inane tweets.....
