I only gave it up a year ago after COVID had begun, but suddenly everyone around me is snorting and hacking, and apparently very few people bother covering their mouth when they do anymore. It’s just for crowded spaces but 1 in 65 people in Canada have COVID right now, and while I’m super ultra vaccinated I don’t want to catch anything in general. It feels strange.

    I never stopped masking and I’m glad. I’m dont know many fellow Americans who still take it seriously. I get mocked at work sometimes, but fuck em, I haven’t had COVID and I’d like to keep avoiding it if I can. Of course, now that RFK Jr. is attempting to limit access to vaccines and boosters in the US…ugh.

      I have ever had COVID either, but did stop masking years back. However. I’m taking my first international flights since 2019 soon, long haul, and I’m shitting myself. Airports seem dangerous places for viruses, planes too. So I’ll probably bring masks along and wear them.

      Good for you not having it. I’ve decided to go back to it in general. I don’t care who mocks me. Some dude said something to me about wearing one on the bus last year.

        And frankly, it’s the same people who say “we should have freedom over our own faces” or whatever, that get mad at you for deciding you want the freedom to wear a mask. Sorry that it’s also still a problem in Canada, tho.
