Many people are desperately afraid of “forever masking.”

I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.

I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.

I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.

I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.

Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask

@augieray I'm actually happy to wear a mask now that I've seen how I've not had a cold since covid began, how my allergies are SO much better when I'm out and about and in my own garden even. Countries where masking to protect the spread of ANY germs, are ahead of the game. Even if covid didn't exist, now I know how much masks protect me from other people's cooties, I plan to wear one amongst strangers, etc. indefinitely.

@nomdeb @augieray I look forward to a time I can take them off because I overheat, but I still wear them now because the time is still not now. The data still says no.

@nomdeb I kind of love wearing a mask for all the reasons you mentioned, but I know it is not a super popular opinion. It is like incognito mode in public, which is great. My allergies are so much better. I'm not getting sick. I don't have to wory about maybe having food stuck in my teeth. It's extra warmth in the winter. It took me a long time to find a mask that fit well and I could breathe easily in, but, since then, I wear one without even thinking about it.
