    I’ve been working from home for 10 years. The COVID break my daughter had was the first time I can remember NOT getting a Cold since literally ever. I’m masking more when I travel for work and I look forward to when more of us realize the benefits.

      The first year of the pandemic was the first year in my entire life when I wasn’t repeatedly sick. In fact, I didn’t get sick at all. Yeah, I still wear masks and distance myself from people as much as is reasonably possible.

    Which is as it should be. There is an obvious level of responsibility that any adult can and should exercise. I don’t disagree that the government shouldn’t mandate this, in fact I believe they shouldn’t have to.

    I wear one when I’m sick and must be in public. It’s really not that big of a deal.

        My pleasure! I like keeping others as safe as I can. It’s one of the few positives from the pandemic. I’m a lot more aware of diseases now.

      My father is severely immunocompromised (double lung transplant less than a year ago), so I wear a mask when travelling home to see him to provide an extra level of assurance I won’t be bringing anything (not even just COVID) home to him.

      No. I was sick last week and forgot. Even had one in my purse, still forgot.

      EDIT: Don’t care about the downvotes, but what message do you think you’re sending to those of us being honest? Think you’re helping?

    To my disappointment, the dog isn’t wearing a mask.

    I guess it was too much to hope that the culture would change. Americans are too stubborn for that.

    It’s an easy way to reduce exposure while not eliminating it so that your immune system can still keep up with the latest fads.
