COVID 19 concerns: Sorry, I know you have inquired about this a number of times but there is not a solid answer. Were you the gentleman whose friends like to play cards but will not wear masks? Until there is a well disseminated, effective vaccine- I think it is still prudent to stay away from people who are not willing to wear masks or to socially distance themselves. Take care.
