Little known fact: Trout metamorphose into eels and the meat of their intermediate form is so chewy that, when mixed with herbs and the secretions of the anal glands of beavers, they were the original source of chewing gum. No one knows this because it’s not true and I am drunk.
Yes, you can wear an N95 and still get COVID, especially with BA.5. But that doesn't mean masks don't work. You can also die in a car crash wearing a seat belt, but that doesn't mean seat belts don't work. Masks reduce the odds of infection. Be probabilistic, not fatalistic.
Hey, who is noticing that “post-pandemic normal” is a lot of “I’ve been knocked out by this cold for weeks” and “Sorry, we’ve had to cancel this event!” and “My kids are sick for the second time in two months!” and “Due to staffing shortages…” and “The ER wait was 10 hours!”
if you are VISIBLY congested and coughing I don't care if you have covid or what, I don't want it 💀 visibly well should be a requirement to go maskless... this should have been a standard common courtesy even before the pandemic in my opinion, y'all are nasty lol
