Wearing a N95 😷 in public feels a lot like being the only person in the group project doing any of the work except instead of worrying about a getting a bad grade I'm worried about brain and organ damage.

"People have tried to walk away from the federal government before. To break it up. And on this hill that I am mowing, some men died saying, “No. You don’t get to do that. You’re in this with us.”
if you want a long read that involves udders, a hot air balloon, and some extremely dubious data on egg prices, the story I’ve been working on for the last few months where I tried to single-handedly take on every government function myself is now online! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Sometimes we get told "you have to live your life!" in response to wearing a mask. Reducing risk of serious illness doesn't always mean missing out - my mask helps keep me protected during special events w/ friends & family. And accessories can be fun! #12daysofmasks

I had an EGD on Tuesday, the only time I've been unmasked around a stranger since becoming ill after a dental visit this summer. Today I woke up sick. 😡
funny how “you do you” is both literally and figuratively another way to say “go fuck yourself”

Love to see the respirator but if we should mask in crowded indoor spaces like airports, what about schools and hospitals? They are crowded indoor spaces too
Traveling for the holidays? Stay well on your way by wearing a high-quality mask like an N95 in crowded indoor spaces like airports and planes. Also wash your hands frequently, cover your cough or sneeze, and avoid traveling if you’re sick.

We’ve created the perfect sickness storm because whether you have covid or not right now, whatever sickness you have is probably worse because Covid damaged your immune system or other organs. But still we do almost nothing to prevent or reduce multiple Covid infections.
