Amen. I usually mask when going to indoor public places like shopping or gym. I haven't felt particularly social during the last few months so that has also helped me to avoid COVID.
Agreed. I just got over a 2 week chest cold that was dreadful. Then again, my toddler sneezed right in my face so 🤷♂️.
Rest up and feel better soon.
Haha that is possibly how I got it too but I also flew for Christmas so who knows
This should be done worldwide and there should be big public health campaigns about the health problems COVID causes.
In the 1920s people would just jump anyone not wearing their mask lol
Like, there was already "anti maskers" it's just if they went in public yelling their stupid shit, everyone would just beat the shit out of them.
Which is why the vast majority wore their masks. Also why it's so hilarious current anti maskers want the "good ole days" back. They don't understand society back then just didn't tolerate this stupid shit.
If you were a threat to society, society became a threat to you. They just don't understand what side they'd have been on.
Wear a mask to protect your health!
... in a couple of ways!
I'm a little horrified by how few people mask up on flights now. Which is basically me and maybe one other, during the height of flu season and everything.
