The gym is definitely the place I consistently get the most puzzled/mocking looks for wearing a mask, but since most of the people I know who said things in 2020 like "I don't need a vaccine, I have an immune system" were also ostensibly the health and fitness crowd...

@violetblue 's Covid Sanity Handbook is "a direct challenge to the social and political gaslighting conspiring to make us feel crazy, isolated, hysterical, misinformed, overreacting, excluded, broken, somehow unwilling, or paints us as threatening simply because we do not want a Covid-19 infection."

One of the Covid Sanity Handbook's exemplary stretch goals is a DRM-free audiobook, and it's very close. Help it get there:

I had to go to urgent care earlier today (nothing serious, needed antibiotics for infection).

I'm please to report that the nurse, the doctor, and all the patients I saw (about 8-9?) were wearing masks of some kind. I was pleasantly surprised! 😷😁

Reality is that you only really need to wear a mask and consider air quality if:

-you breathe air regularly.
-you care about your brain, heart, immune system, lungs, kidneys, bones, teeth, eyes, liver or other organs.
-you ever have other people around you.

I because breathing is one of my favourite things to do. 😷

I am constantly doing it, literally can't stop.

I'd consider it an addiction but so far it hasn't affected my life negatively.

And because I don't plan to give it up, better do it safely. ✌️

Me at Costco, wearing a , waiting for a booster.

Pharma tech calls my name, beckoning me into a small room.

Me: Would you mind masking up?

Tech: Why?

Me: Because you might have COVID.

Tech looks surprised, walks off. Returns with a cheap surgical mask: “It’s not an N95 so it won’t do much.”

Me: Better than nothing.

Tech, asking screening questions: Have you had COVID in the last 3 months?

Me: No, because I’m careful.

Tech: Yeah, me too.

Me: 🧐

@violetblue 's Covid Sanity is "a self-defense guide, a conversation starter, a resource for finding community, a helpful tool for hard decisions, and a means with which we ultimately disallow our valid refusal to endure repeated Covid-19 reinfections to be used against us."

"We're made to feel separate from society for avoiding covid, but we are far from alone."

Head to Kickstarter and help Covid Sanity become reality:

A question, fellow folk, what do we think about KN95 mask expiration dates? Seeing a lot of expired or soon to expire masks for sale and my mum is asking if they are still good? So I am asking all of you.

This is not a good look, Canterbury. Mask up.

Everyday is #MaskUp day.

But these days are particularly so.

The research is out, the science is clear:
Respirators work.

If you follow me, you likely don't need to hear this anymore but still spread it around:

Masks work.
Respirators are better.
It should be very normal to wear one.

Masks work, our comprehensive review has found.

"Getting most people to wear a mask could nip the outbreak in the bud, preventing a pandemic or lessening its impact. Wearing a mask is inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as lockdowns."

"The bottom line from our recent review is masks work. Along with improving indoor air quality and avoiding crowded, underventilated places, they provide the best way to avoid catching a respiratory infection. And our findings support previous advice to not just wear any mask but wear the best mask available."

It looks like the lawmakers of North Carolina have finally realized the law to ban masks in public was a stupid thing to do...

It was right to protest and remind the lawmakers that they were working for the people.
