6. I figure I'll know a week from tomorrow if there was any exposure at the polling site I worked.

I was there from 5:00 am until 9:30 pm on Nov 3rd and had my mask on the whole time except for 2 very short breaks to eat. I make my own masks (3 high quality layers) so I know I'm as protected as I can be. The polling site was a gym, but only half of it was used. There was a couple of times when there was a line to get the ballots, a line for voters waiting to feed their completed ballots into the machine, people seated or standing at all of the privacy tables/stands and people standing at all 4 of the check-in stations plus us 9 poll workers. There was no way those times were socially distanced. Way too many people in the space at the same time.

I checked-in 350 voters and I figure about 1100 - 1200 more checked-in at the other stations. I will not be surprised to get "the call." Of course, I hope I don't.

Hope your cousin continues to get better and all of us who worked the election stay covid-19 free.
