May 2022

as the school where my wife works has no mandatory mitigation and we have a student in pre-k. She had covid during Delta's run through Montana last fall, and we finally caught it the last week of school. Kids are clear this time, wife and i both have mild head cold symptoms that are improving 3-4 days in. We both had about 24hrs of light muscle aches as well. We distanced and masked religiously through 20 and 21 when we were both boosted and our kids had had the virus, then we began to "go back to normal." No real regrets from either course of action so far.
