Now is a good time to stock up on masks and get used to wearing them again if you stopped. Wear them and be cognizant of how diseases spread. Wear them even if anti-mask legislation passes. Protest that legislation before it does.

No, but for a lot of us getting vaccinated and having treatments available, made us feel comfortable to live among each other. All signs point to none of that will be available on the next one
yeah unfortunately the vaccine gave people FALSE confidence and comfort, actually accepting asymptomatic and immune destroying illness for the last two years :/ that comfort is not based in any sort of scientific reality
do you see contagion getting better? lol, or do you see climate change releasing newer and deadlier viruses?
the alternative is testing, contact tracing, ventilation, MASKING. which is nearly perfect at blocking viruses.
I'm lucky enough to have an at home PCR test. i think everyone deserves one
I was thinking about this too. My wife is a teacher!
We also take care of my 84-year-old dad so... I'm wondering if wearing a mask is a good idea because schools are like number one when it comes to illnesses getting thrown around.
It's a pathological playground w/ a free buffet for an epidemic.
I’m thinking about all the work people in the long Covid and disability community have been trying desperately to do over the past five years, how they’ve faced so much hatred and resistance.
I have had numbness in my face and limbs since I had Covid in 2023. It started when I was sick with Covid and it has never gone away. I also lost a LOT of my stamina then. I have not been the same since. My BIL? His bout with Covid left him completely unable to work.
I kept wearing a mask all the way up until mid November. Then i stopped for 2.5 months. Now I'm on a biologic med. Making me immune compromised and have started again. Really frustrating largely due to the attitudes of people here thinking I'm nuts, rather than catious/ frightened.
The pharmacy i go to is owned by very stupid people who refused to mask even during the worst of covid. I had to go in there last week with my mask back on and catch their looks. Feels like shit, honestly.
Had a recent sinus issue and on a grocery run I was given a “You don’t have to wear a mask anymore, Trump won!” from someone across the parking lot who couldn’t resist showing how uneducated and/or uncaring they are.
Can’t imagine how much worse it is for folks who need precautions all the time.
I’ve had mask in my jacket for years. I’m not sure I’ll make it through the next epidemic. I’m old had a stroke and I’m just worn out and disappointed in this country. We’ll see.

Trump realized his MVP's are MDP's, Most Deplorable Player/Person, and utilized that resource like oil.
