Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We had brunch outside at our friends' house, and it was two hours of normalcy, except for the wipes when I went inside to the bathroom and not passing food.  We hadn't seen each other in some time, and we shared updates about ourselves and our kids.  None of us had a sense of what is safe or unsafe, so we social distanced and wore masks part of the time.  Could we have the Covid and be asymptomatic?  Have we had it but not been tested?  Where is the rise in cases coming from?  The information is truly confusing and with no real guidance we are all winging it.  I concentrated on enjoying the back yard and seeing my friends and my husband was grateful to be able to talk to someone besides his therapist and me.  He doesn't have friends he communicates with anymore.  He lost his connections when he retired.  I couldn't live the way he does, but I am much more social, and both my parents were as well.  But I think he underestimates how much his isolation affects him.  Hopefully, he will make more effort to talk to others.
