New data from Japan adds evidence that COVID-19 may raise shingles risk.
The findings come from nearly 400,000 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from 2020–2023, showing a higher incidence of shingles for a full 6 weeks after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

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.

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).
Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.
I promise I won’t hug you either.
