Someone turned up on one of our threads the other day and said something very irritating… but probably a commonly held belief.
“They should only tell us if a significantly different virus turns up..”
Ok. Not irritating. Infuriating. I’ll explain why.

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now:
I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases.
The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.
