I’m hearing Covid cases increasing everywhere. Not seeing masks in stores but we can distance and remember to wash hands or use good quality hand sanitizer upon returning home.
@LnzyHou I have been masking, I ordered a fresh one from enro the second I heard cases were going up.
I seem to be the only one though. This causes me great concern as we head towards fall.
i haven’t stopped masking since it started.
read up on that pandemic of 100 years ago. they stopped masking prematurely, even threw their masks up at grand outdoor gatherings to celebrate, then a deadlier wave hit.
My new N95s on order
@LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus @NiveusLepus
I don't have any N95's. The new variant is picking up. The girls were sniffly at carline yesterday from school. I immediately put on a mask. I just don't want to even be sick with a cold.
@CinnamonGirlE @LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus @NiveusLepus
I found a bunch of N95s behind a shoes cabinet! 🙂 !
@YouInMyEye @LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus @NiveusLepus
Awesome. Probably need to order some. I actually have some regular ones and cloth ones both. But if I fly anywhere? That's a cesspool if it keeps picking up.
@CinnamonGirlE @LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus @NiveusLepus
I thought I went through a package of N95s rather quick but now I know where they went.
Yes, I'll have to be a lone mask wearer for a while it seems...
@YouInMyEye @CinnamonGirlE @LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus
I just dont want to be a reason anyone gets sick. I know theres always a chance one can be an symptomatic carrier.
@NiveusLepus @YouInMyEye @LnzyHou @peeppeepcircus
This is so true. I am fully vaxxed and keep to outside spaces. I use grocery pick-up and did for years before Covid. I will mask when in enclosed areas. But outside, or normally around fam, I don't. I feel safer now and most of my immediate fam is vaxed. I did get Covid about 2 1/2 years in, about a week after my last booster. It was rough.
@CinnamonGirlE @NiveusLepus @YouInMyEye @peeppeepcircus
I got covid a year ago although fully vaxxed/boosted. Also got flu shot in Oct then got the flu in February. Flu was so bad I ended up ER with breathing issues. Two rounds of steroids and better. Now I’m waiting to get RSV, flu & new booster in Sept/Oct.
Even ER nurses wore masks randomly or around their necks. When I protested, they said they’d had covid so many times, they quit masking.
@LnzyHou @NiveusLepus @YouInMyEye @peeppeepcircus
Honestly, it's Covid burnout. I know many nurses who feel just that way. They are vaxxed, it won't kill them (not as likely to) and they have had it with it. It doesn't help I live among the conspiracy theorists. And yes. Lots of healthcare are among them. Even the ones who preach to you to do something they won't do.
Covid will never be over. It's here to stay.
@CinnamonGirlE @LnzyHou @NiveusLepus @peeppeepcircus
I wonder if the researchers who came up with the first vaccine ever thought about people not wanting to get vaxxed...
@LnzyHou @YouInMyEye @NiveusLepus @peeppeepcircus
I lost a cousin and a couple of friends. Same scenario.
@YouInMyEye @LnzyHou @NiveusLepus @peeppeepcircus
I mean who could imagine anti-vaxxers? People who refuse to believe science?
@YouInMyEye @CinnamonGirlE @NiveusLepus @peeppeepcircus
I lost three before the vax was available. The 4th was family member too lazy to get vax. Dead at 62.
