Covid Cautious (mask up for others if not for yourself), love walking with my dogs, tried to help save democracy in the US (failed), love visiting with my daughters.
My kids have a cousin that got LC early March 2020. She was in a wheelchair for over a year. But since she’s “the only one” they knew with LC, they stopped trying to prevent it. So disappointing.

You shouldn’t need to change your mask. Assholes will still be assholes. Normalize your mask wearing! And people will be wishing they were you down the road.

You should wear the mask that works for you and ignore the assholes making those comments. Sorry that happened.

I believe the science says 24 hours if both are masking

One way masking isn’t ideal, but it will keep you safe for a good number of hours if you have a good fit. Basic masks aren’t N95s.

I use the Aura for all high exposure encounters, but in the heat and humidity I’ll wear a vflex and not sweat profusely. It’s also easier to exercise in so don’t retire those vflexes just yet maybe.

I was thinking this same thing. FND isn’t really a helpful diagnosis from what I’ve heard.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry people don’t get it and remember for future conversations. It must be so frustrating.

I was always surprised my soon to be ex didn’t keep masking to save his brain cells. He loves his brain, it’s not so great after three infections.

I don’t trust the SIP valve either. I don’t trust my ability to do it just right.

I wonder how the response will be to the next pandemic if it’s anytime soon. The hatred and fear of masking might make for much worse outcomes the sooner it happens.

I’m right there with you. Sometimes afraid to say it out loud as if I’m going to jinx it.

HCA buys phenomenal hospitals and then makes them money makers. Sadly they are no longer phenomenal. Private equity ruins most great things.

Yes, that’s true and amazing. I just don’t think one can claim that it could have been stopped. Perhaps if all countries worked together. But sadly we here in America are me first.

While I 100% agree with masking I’m not sure this is entirely true. China was locked down severely for several years and they couldn’t eradicate it.

So sorry to hear what you are going through. It’s amazing what people will do for “normal” in a non normal world.

Everyone to whom I mention my husband’s symptoms like to push back that it’s likely age related. But like you never a migraine before Covid infection, now frequent. The cognitive decline seems to have lessened though. But dementia after Covid…

Keep us posted if they have hand sanitizing stations planted throughout. They know it isn’t effective but I’m guessing since the majority of the population doesn’t know this they will continue that sleight of hand.
