My wife's family had a large gathering for Christmas which we did not attend. about a week and a half later, seven of them came down with covid. One of them, my wife's father died. Yesterday, they held a memoral for my wife's father in the same house with the same people who were there for Christmas. there were about 40 people there, and my son and I were the only ones wearing masks. I stayed outside, but my wife, who claimed she lost her mask, stayed indoors for about four hours. Afterward, I told her I planned to wear a mask when she was around and that I planned to sleep in the livingroom until she either got tested, or didn't show any symptoms after two weeks. she became irate and informed me she would not be getting a test. She has refused to talk to me since. Am I out of line? Would it be safe to go around her before the two weeks are up?

    you are not out of line at all! It’s very reasonable to wear a mask and not sleep in the same room for a couple of weeks. When you consider what happened at Christmas, your request makes perfect sense!my sister got Covid from her husband who went to visit his mother who had Covid . and my sister wore a mask around the house and slept in another room because she knew he had gone to visit his mother. but she got it anyway. so take those precautions! she is just going to have to understand and eventually she will get over it. It’s just not worth taking the chance. Take care of yourself! ❤

    I had that for like 3 months after covid , I would forget stuff , I lost my keys , had to get a replacement set. some one would ask me a question and my mind would go blank. My guess covid most likely killed a few brain cells while it was active in there. It will take awhile to forge new pathways on the information highway in my brain. But now my memory seems to be back to normal.

    You are absolutely right. It`s very responsibly to wear facemask. You should talk with your wife about it.
