[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My thing with masks is unless you truly need to protect against viruses, that people want to escape being sick by masking is detrimental.  Just like how we all lose immunity if we stop vax, if everyone just protects themselves, the day you stop, you'll be sicker.  Building immunity is part of what keeps you well.  Sometimes you get sick and you don't get sicker.  All the RSV cases, all these bad sicknesses on the rise in intensity - it's somewhat because nobody got sick for years masking.  It's why living on a farm and not constantly washing your hands isn't the worst thing in the world.  On some level being 1000% protected and clean doesn't help you keep healthy.  We're not going to have perfection.  Life is somewhat about getting stronger and while unfortunate that we get sick, managing a cold is better than getting pneumonia.  I think people should relax a bit.  Some people are dispositioned to feel effects from certain viruses others do not.  You should of course try to prevent yourself from harm but reasonably, be logical that nothing is 100% guaranteed.  You can mask and isolate and wash your hands 100x a day and still get COVID!  My family are really lax about this kind of stuff and we get sick 1x a year all of us.  DS has had COVID 2x but the rest of us only once and we've not masked or taken many precautions other than gotten the vax/boosters.  Of course that will help you not die and we don't want to die! But on a daily basis, you have to live your live and not be so afraid of it. [/quote]

Says an able-bodied person w/o chronic respiratory trouble.  :roll:  Listen, I'm glad your kid got covid twice without long-covid effects. If you'd mask in public, I wouldn't have to share your lax standards. Nobody is masking 24/7. Those of us with sense are masking when we're indoors in shared spaces because we're not self-indulgent, science-denying dicks. Wearing a mask in public so you protect yourself and others isn't going to harm you. At all. It's not gonna lower your immunity; there are plenty of germs for your immune system to munch on at home, while you sleep, or bathe, or pet your pet(s), or take a walk outside w/o a mask. Masking indoors when in public reduces your chance of running into RSV, flu, covid and other illnesses. And, most kindly, it keeps you from spreading them. Be as lax as you want in your own space, and raise your standards in public because it's easy to not be a jerk these days, if you're at all inclined.[/quote]
