...and subsequent exposure, was the story.

(It’s why they should test any vaccine they come up with...a lot)

3. I'm a HCW professional. I'm used to wearing masks in surgery, in examinations, during procedures...

but, I HATE wearing far less breathable (and HOT) cloth masks walking around in often poorly air-conditioned, poorly ventilated stores, carrying things, and negotiating other people in uncontrolled settings. The former is a given. The latter is a necessity. I may hate it, elect to go few places because of it, but damn it, buck up, people. DO IT. JUST DO IT. (now where have I heard THAT before)....

5. I hear you

I seem to only sweat from the head and wearing a mask for any length of time is very uncomfortable for me. But, I adjust. For example, I make sure to tie my hair back because that helps. And I make sure I know exactly what I need at the store, get in and get out! You do what you have to do. Wearing a mask to me is a no-brainer.

Masks are not that bid of a deal. The choice between being sick and wearing a mask seems like a no brainer.

6. I had pneumonia when I was 35. It took months to get over it.

It took a full year to return to good health. I'm 76 now and assume if I get covid I will be very ill and probably not make it. I stay home and wear a mask when I have to out, usually to the doctor. Wearing a mask is not difficult.
