since it gives me an excuse to avoid people that I would rather not hang out with, which is most of them. But I agree 100% about masks and staying away from people, because the way you get sick is by breathing other people's used air. I have not ever had pneumonia but I have had Hong Kong flu and a terrible case of bronchitis that I couldn't shake for a couple of months - I'd rather not get either bug again, let along covid19. Having isolated myself since last March, I haven't even had a cold this year.
