After all you can take all these precautions, live in a bubble etc, walk out the door and have some moron sneeze their germs all over you.
I'm just 2 months post-transplant, still on a high dose of meds. When I'm going to some public place that I know is crowded, I wear a mask.
And I'm glad I did.
Just six weeks post-transplant, I was shopping in a supermarket. A female shopper standing next to me thought I was wearing a mask because I had some kind of contagious illness, and she said to me:
"It's nice to see you wearing a mask so you won't spread your germs to others. I wish I had worn mine. I've been sick for five weeks!"
I said to her, "Good-bye!" and fled.
