30. If you were Covid positive and wearing a mask that mask
Tue Jul 26, 2022, 03:11 PM
Jul 2022

Wasn't protecting just you. As a matter of fact, since you were infected, it wasn't protection for you at all. It was, however, protection for all of those who you were breathing around all day.

That's the beauty of the mask. It gives us the opportunity to show how much we care for humanity and how we are interested in possibly saving them from Covid, long, short, severe and mild.

So, stopping the spread is what the mask is really for and not just to protect our already double vaxxed, double boosted selves.

I think about the children mostly because they are not able to decide to vax themselves and are at the mercy of the so called adults in their orbit. They are potentially victims and vectors. That we don't care more about them is simultaneously sad and infuriating to me. But that's just me. YMMV. ❤

Pretty much everywhere. Although I'm surprised at how many I see here in GA oldsoftie Jul 2022 #26
I just don't go to those places. It doesn't bother me and I get by fine. PSPS Jul 2022 #28
Here in the Bay Area, the rare times I go out it's closer to 80% masked. NullTuples Jul 2022 #29

One of my students just got COVID for the 3rd time. Ms. Toad Jul 2022 #21
That is very disappointing IronLionZion Jul 2022 #24
Part of my point is that - rather than making COVID easier the second, etc. around, Ms. Toad Jul 2022 #25
Unfortunately its such a crapshoot as to who gets it bad. oldsoftie Jul 2022 #27

That's what happens when you remove the mask requirement Ms. Toad Jul 2022 #19
