> Actually, yes, I do. I wear a mask in the office every day, I wear a mask when shopping and anywhere else indoors in public. I have not eaten indoors at a restaurant since the pandemic began. And I haven't caught COVID yet.
Sounds excessive and honestly a bit obsessive.
I just followed the government recommendations, wore masks when mandatory, and went to restaurants the minute they were allowed to reopen, and have not caught covid either.
Do you live in a place where covid is still a big risk? Or do you work in a place with higher risks, like healthcare related?
- jasonpeacock 3y ago> Or do you work in a place with higher risks Unfortunately, today's open-office environments and return-to-office mandates are squeezing everyone together just like we were pre-pandemic, including multiple hour-long meetings a day with packed meeting rooms. If just 1 person present has COVID then those become high-risk environments. And it's happened - we have a large meeting, then the next week multiple people are out sick :( It sucks. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, I want to eat meals out and go to happy hour, I want to not have to think about the relative risk of every outing and errand. But since the world had decided COVID is not a concern anymore it's left each of us to do their own personal risk management. I really want to see a "cure" developed to treat/prevent the damage from COVID and or for COVID to evolve into something much more mild like the flu (ha!) which doesn't cause lasting damage. Alas, it is a crapshoot as to what happens when you catch COVID, and it changes each time.
