This is what it really comes down to.

Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over.

🔹COVID is airborne
🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk
🔹Long COVID has no cure
🔹The pandemic isn’t over
🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others

Stay informed. Stay safe.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy The pandemic is over because the world failed in trying to contain it. COVID-19 is an endemic virus now and calling it a pandemic only obscures the fact that it will now *never* go away again.
To be clear: I'm not saying that we should do less as a society. I'm saying that we should do more because this is now a forever danger that we're not mitigating enough right now.
