Why do you want to know that? What's your goal here? I've never interacted with you before, and I can't figure out why you'd ask a stranger that other than to say it's my fault I got sick because I wasn't careful enough. But maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

I’ve heard many people say “I mask indoors” & then talk about eating at restaurants. My goal, since you asked, is to clarify “I always mask indoors” & yet I got sick.

I don't do that indoors at all if I can avoid it. If no outdoor seating, takeout. If it's -30 outside, or the reason for being there is to be with the other people and I can't eat before or after, I've become amazing at tucking bites into my mouth and never inhaling except through the mask.
