Thorin is home

 He drove himself. I was a little dubious about that, but the nurses said it was okay. Laparascopic surgery - what a great invention. It's like taking your car to Midas - you drive in and drive out an hour later with a new exhaust system.

Oh, hooray! And wow. Appendectomy used to be major abdominal surgery and you were lucky to be able to stand up for five minutes to start with, and he could drive home.

I'm glad he's home, but I'm sure you are much gladder.

Awesome! When my mom had her appendix out it was (fairly) major surgery - which they saved on some by taking it out while they were in there removing polyps from another area. Hope he makes a fast and stress-free recovery.

If they have enough PPE then things should be OK...?

The answer must be that each kind of mask provides *some* amount of protection in each direction, but no one is quite sure how much in each direction for each kind, and anyway when boiling down information for public consumption, they believe we can only understand "works" and "doesn't work".

Frustrating, but you shouldn't come away with the conclusion that therefore nothing works at all.

I saw a lovely graphic yesterday showing progressive degrees of protection.

Wearing a mask is better than not wearing one. Both people in an encounter wearing masks is better than that. If they are both also six feet apart, it is better yet, and more distance is better still. None of it is as good as staying home and having no encounter at all.

Glad there were no problems!
