This is my point. You do not, cannot know when someone is infected or not, so the logical conclusion would be to wear a mask in any setting that you do not have full control of through testings, ventilation, etc.

it doesn't make sense why people equate wearing a mask to being in a constant state of panic & anxiety. are you panicking the whole time you're wearing a seatbelt?

Many workers with #LongCovid spend significant time resting and sleeping when not working.
Have little or no energy left for carrying out day to day activities like housework, cooking, self care or have quality time with a significant other, family or friends... #LongCovidLife

Several years ago, when things were bad as they are now, I made a comic about art and community in the face of hate. Today feels like a time to reshare. 1/5

They say we get the leaders we deserve.

Either that has just been disproven, or this is not the America we all thought we were living in.
