I forgot to wear a mask in my apartment building common area. Ran back upstairs to get it but nervous and paranoid that I’ve been exposed. Is there anything I can do but quarantine and wait a few days to get tested? So mad at myself right now

Yea agreed

You guys are literally insane about this..... You realize large parts of this country just lives their life. I don't wear masks 90% of the time.

You need a meaningful amount of exposure. That could be making out with miss Rona herself, ten minutes indoors directly next to a virus shedder, etc. it’s unlikely you picked it up. If you did, it’s too late to worry about it. Freaking out won’t help under any circumstance.

Right, there's so many clowns like this making the pandemic worse by downplaying it and selfishly forgetting how many people have died from it so far.

Your risk of exposure is likely very low. Especially since the mask doesn’t necessarily protect you, it protects those around you. As long as other people around you were wearing masks the risk is extremely low. So I would continue to go about life like you have been, it sounds like you are taking reasonable precautions anyways. It’s probably a good idea to get tested regularly regardless just so you can stay informed about your status.

Start stocking up some Vitality Air 🤣

Was there anyone else there? If so, were they masked? How long were you there? Indoors or outdoors?

It’s very exhausting! I hope they can get a vaccine ready soon because this whole thing is really a bummer.

Is this serious? Take a xanax and relax.

Secondly do you have n95?

You're probably fine! You need prolonged contact to have a chance of contracting the virus. Also, only N95 masks protect you from contracting the virus

Wait, I thought my MAGA hat protected me 🧐

Actually, I think you had it at: “I . . . nervous and paranoid”. Full stop.
