[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. We’ve all had Covid at least twice and it wasn’t a dramatic event. No need to mask or any of that nonsense. Don’t need germs mashed agains my face with a filthy mask. People who mask are filthy germ buckets. [/quote]

How fortunate for you that covid "wasn't a dramatic event." But you really need to learn that your experience does not equal everyone else's. I had a relatively mild case of covid and have been suffering horribly for almost a year now with long covid. I am losing hope that I will ever be the same. The coughing is awful and the fatigue is debilitating.

I work in healthcare and probably 2/3 of us are wearing masks at work now. [/quote]

DP and not one of the anti-mask nutters. I'm so sorry about the long covid, PP. That's what concerns me the most. And the "it's mild! It's nothing but a cold!" people simply refuse to believe in the existence of long covid, I think, or they're so arrogant and ignorant they assume it could never happen to them or anyone they know. And if it doesn't happen to them or someone they know, well, it isn't a real threat in their minds.

My DH's office just yesterday canceled a happy hour farewell gathering for one colleague "out of an abundance of caution" because several people had family members who were positive for covid. It was the smart thing to do and it's the kind of thing I think we'll see more and more of as we move into fall. At least I certainly hope so. People need to realize how much is still not known about the virus and the long-term impacts, and how short-sighted it is to court infection. [/quote]
