Cashier at store: COVID is over. You don't have to wear a mask anymore.
Me: If your spouse was severely immunocompromised, would you wear a mask to protect them, or would you let them die because you don't like being harassed by some cashier?
Him: Err...
Me: It's OK. Some people are born selfish.

Why do people think that asking us if we plan to “mask forever?” is an insult?
I’ve adapted to wearing a mask. It’s NOT that hard. I wear pants, a bra and shoes when I leave the house - three things I loathe wearing.
So yes - if nothing changes I WILL mask forever. /1

If you have already gotten covid, work very hard to not get infected again.
Because you lose IQ points with each infection
Because your chances of getting #LongCovid increase dramatically each time.

What’s not accounted for is that each reinfection increases the risk.
According to StatCan data, in adults with 3 or more infections, long ϹΟVΙD is 2.6x more likely.

This raises some questions.

If a government is willing to do this, you know shit is bad and profits are being threatened by mass illness, disability, and hospital overwhelm.
Mask in public as much as possible. You can get free n95-type masks from action groups worldwide. If you don’t need aid, donate funds!

Please stop saying we should wear masks "when appropriate."
COVID surges throughout the year, and other viruses, pollution, wildfire smoke etc. are also significant health issues.

Vaccines reduce your chance of getting Long COVID, but they don't eliminate it. With COVID rates rising, it's a good idea to level up your defenses against Long COVID by wearing a high quality mask and making sure indoor spaces are well ventilated.
