Never stopped masking, thanks. I would say I’m glad to be vindicated, but no, this is terrible actually.
Same here. I just got it for the first time few weeks ago due to one unmasked exposure in a car which was supposed to be safe. It was bad, really bad. Didn’t get into the hospital but it was easily the worst sickness in recent memory. Still have some runny nose weeks later.
Masking is completely gone where i live. I got the flu last month sland unfortunately had to go to the pharmacy and do some groceries, so i put on a mask. Holy shit the looks i got and people being so nice to tell me that i don’t need a mask was insane.
I always like to pull my mask down and cough, and say “phew thanks, this mask is hard to breathe in with COVID”
Have been masking since early 2020, haven’t been sick with any contagious illness in 4 years. Infection is preventable, not inevitable, and I’ll never willingly expose myself to it again. Sucks people were convinced otherwise, would be nice to not have overwhelmed health systems (not that it’s new, definitely worse now though).
