I agree that wearing a mask can protect our lungs from pollution and airborne pathogens. Let's make sure to use them responsibly and prioritize public health over personal convenience.
Climate change is going to make our airborne disease and pollution worse before it gets better, masks are a crucial public health tool! All my homies learn about air pollution and the AQI and understand the spread of airborne disease. Respirators can save ur lungs and your health. 🥰
It’s wild seeing people unmasked at airports in 2024. I used to get sick nearly every time I flew, I haven’t gotten sick flying since 2021/masking. It has seriously changed my life
I never wear masks. If I put an N95 mask on, I nearly gag from the fabric on my face. Anxiety attacks and the like. I mean, if you want to wear a mask, go ahead. I got these vaccines for a reason. If I get a little sick and don't die, then I build my immunity more. I'll be fine.
It's always blown my mind when people act shocked to see someone with a mask on.
Even if the pandemic was no longer a problem, and even if the KN-95 wasn't effective for the pandemic, it would still be a good way to prevent the seasonal flu and common cold.
The only reason my husband didn't come down with pleurisy this time from a work trip to India was masking. They are in burning season and the pollution is astronomical. A bad day in DC for air quality is 50-55. It got to 730 at the worst when he was in Delhi.
I work in construction and a lot of people don't wear masks and say "they're used to it" regarding whatever they're being exposed to. There's a tough it out mentality. That might work with building muscle but not with toxic cumulative effects or disease! You can't tough it out of some things!
Thank you for keeping the mask up discourse going. I am glad I have never given up masking and won't have to relearn a habit to wear one out in public.

Try not to say it at work, lest HR get involved for phrasing. 😂
