14. I'm just doing a single mask.

Jun 2021

I've been vaccinated since the end of March.

My masks are all double thickness and well-fitted (no gaps at the side, around the nose, under the chin, etc.) I'm relatively confident in my ability to stay safe. I've been right about everything else, so far . . .

But I have absolutly no problems with taking additional precautions. I'd rather people do more, rather than less.
