My neighbor in my duplex just told me she has Covid. [View all]

And that masks have been proven scientifically to make NO difference.

OMG OMG OMG OMFG

She has had it for a week and was down with the symptoms over the weekend.

I am fairly confident there is not enough air flow through the common attic to be a problem, but still.

When will the madness end?
