but if your chest starts to feel tight like you can't take a deep breath, get a test. If your temperature is 100.4 or more, get a test.

6 feet is not enough for unmasked people. 10 is better. If you were on opposite sides of a driveway, that was about 10 feet and your chance of being exposed was minimal.

I did my monthly grocery trip on Thursday and the vibe was weird, people are definitely spooked. It's still not horrendous in the city but the rural counties here are getting slammed.
