I have masked every time I leave the house since COVID started impacting Wuhan (we had Chinese operations, so saw early impact on the business side. If you saw me masking on BART in early 2020, wave) and I haven’t gotten a single illness of any type since then.
It’s glorious.
I am often close to the only person I see all day masking, and it blows my mind why people don’t get this advantage.

I'm sure I would have been ill more often than yearly if my ridership had continued. I agree. Additionally the masks will more than pay for themselves when it comes time to cash out my accumulated sick leave when I leave this job.

- anonymouskimmer 4y agoYou were about half an hour later than me on the way out, and we only overlapped through Orinda to Rockridge. I usually got the 2:something on the way back, and by then it was crowded enough I'm sure I wouldn't have seen you even if we were in the same car.
