Covid in RV Parks

I have a question about Covid. Hope this is the place to ask it. I'm a SR citizen, new to full-time rving. I am in a small RV Park in NM and yesterday the owner said a full-time rver had Covid. This guy was walking around talking to people as if he had the flu. And this is what people sitting around talking think about Covid, that it is just another flu. I don't share that theory and have had my vaccinations plus my booster. I'm older and have done what I could to keep myself safe as well as others around me. For some this situation may not be a problem, but if you have encountered this in your travels what have you done? I am leaving in two weeks so will stay here and keep to myself til I leave. I did not anticipate this as I thought RV Parks followed specific rules regarding health concerns.
Thanks for any answers. Shadowcat

    As long as I am outside I don’t worry much not wearing a mask. But I avoid getting close to other people, and stay upwind from them when possible. Inside or in a crowd outside I wear my mask even though few others still do. One million + US dead and infection numbers rising again, taking all precautions I can. Vaxed and boosted.

    We all know the reasons why Covid is still rampant. It will never go away because of deniers.

    I’m home recovering from COVID as we speak. I’ve had all 3 Pfizer shots, still got it, and it **** near put me in the hospital last week. I have no additional risk factors and I’m 44 years old. Felt like a 200 pound weight on my chest.

    It hits everyone different.

    My boss just caught COVID for the second time.

    She's gotten the shots and booster, and still got it twice.

    I've been vaccinated, and I got it post vaccine.

    Point is, no matter what you do, there's still a chance you can get it.

    I personally believe that RVing makes it easier to socially distance.

    To this day, Im not sure why people still think if they wear a cloth mask that it will protect THEM from someone who is infected. Mask helps keep YOU from passing it to someone else.

    At some point, life must go on. Take reasonable precautions and live life.

    The covid symptoms are very minor for those who have had the shots and the booster. Many of us have had covid and didn't even know it. It's only those who are not vaccinated that run the risks for complications for the most part. I wouldn't worry about it.

    This happens everywhere, not just RV parks. All you can do is keep up on your vaccinations, use masks if you have to be around unknown people, wash your hands frequently, and avoid those who refuse to take it seriously.
