Are you still wearing masks?

Ironically, the health care and nutrition and medical industries won't even stop referring to Vitamin D as a vitamin, even though they all know it is not. The body does not produce vitamins -- it uses them.

I view the vaccines as providing much more good than harm, whether considering ineffective versions or complications, but we did what was reasonable, and then some. At some point, we have to accept that it may become an annual killer like the flu is.

We all owe a certain degree of cooperation for living in community, but there are limits. Many of us have reached that limit.

I agree mostly. I was not clear in my last post though.

Dr. Robert Malone, the doctor that helped invent said type of vaccine pretty much said the same as you at the start of the pandemic.

Every pandemic has to run it's course. We have to get a natural immunity to the issue. Sadly some will have to die. The alternative is what happened, variants. Governments, the MSM and big pharma made things worse. The media made natural immunity out to be a conspiracy theory with the help of the government.
 
I don't go anywhere.

I'm not sure what I would wear that would do much good over my full heavy long beard, but I'd figure something out that would protect all concerned. Maybe a combination of silk and cotton bandanas. Silk is supposed to be very good a catching/filtering very small particles.
 
I always wear one if I am out and about with no exception and I might always wear one if that is what it takes. I also like the warmth on my face when it is cold outside.
 
No mask here in a year or so - Los Angeles hinted they were thinking about trying to bring back the mask mandate last fall but they clearly felt the political pressure not to. I see a few people wearing them still but not many.

The way I see it COVID is another strain of the flu and it will be with us forever - and just like a cold or flu they will not fully cure it.
 
No, I wore it for almost 3 years. It is enough.:p

By the way, two other colleagues from work and I are the only ones that did not get COVID, but it will come sooner or later since the mask mandate is all gone in most European countries.

I have a friend who lives in Berlin, a very health-conscience, conscientious guy in his early thirties who's come down with Covid three times, his girlfriend once. He says the authorities have been exemplary in the help they've provided him each time. He's American, quite enamored of the culture and finds this illustrative of German organization and efficiency. I have another friend who lives in Dusseldorf who reported in his recent holiday card that both he and his wife and one of their children had the virus, and that friends have died from it.
 
My partner and I were in Japan for a couple of weeks in late November. While masks were only required at the airport and at two performances (Noh and Kabuki) we attended, just about everyone regardless of age wore a mask everyplace, even outdoors. (I remember from my last trip there that many Japanese were already wearing masks outdoors in the city, and particularly in crowds.) While my partner never wore a mask during our stay there except when required, I often did, not so much because I thought it offered protection from the virus, but because I thought it was proper etiquette. I wanted others to feel comfortable around me. I tend to forget I'm wearing a mask, and my partner was often annoyed when we'd find ourselves having left a crowd and alone on a street or in nature and I'd still be wearing my mask.

My only problem with wearing a mask has been on airplane flights when I've attempted to wear a mask, an eyeshade and earphones all at the same time. Never managed to pull it off sufficiently comfortably to be able to fall asleep to the sound of music.
 
I stopped wearing masks on trains and in shops when it ceased to be mandatory in about January 2022. I was asked to wear one in the dentist's waiting room in the spring, but when I went again just before Christmas even they had given up on the idea.

I occasionally see someone on the train wearing a mask, probably less than 1 person in every 100. The main place I see them still is in the Chinese Quarter in Birmingham, but the Chinese were keen on wearing masks long before they ever gave the world Covid.

That's understandable. Their cities had such horrible air pollution that it wasn't safe to breathe unfiltered.

On top of that, it's the Chinese strains of flu that they sample to grow the vaccines from every year, and their populace knows the hog/chicken/human problem is starting on their turf, so being careful in crowds there can save your life.
 
Since I live in a rural community is a rural part of the State, no one really wears a mask. Not even at medical facilities. We don't have crowded places....at least the places I go to. We have no mass transit. I would say the places with the largest crowds for us would be the high school sports games. I carry a mask in my back pocket everywhere, but I can't remember the last time I had it on in my community. In early December was the last time i wore a mask when I traveled to Denver, Colorado to visit a relative in the hospital for a couple of days. Masks were required on the campus.
 
I have notice in the last couple of weeks that the number of people voluntarily wearing masks is increasing and I love that.

When I am working I get asked quite a bit if I would like them or need them to wear a mask and I tell them there is no need and either way is fine and I mean it BUT I think there is something amiss if someone doesn't already know why they should probably wear one.... if not for their own safety for the safety of others.
 
Yes, I am wearing masks. But, I was almost the only one wearing a mask at the grocery store this afternoon. I know several people in the last couple of months who threw caution to the wind, and then ended up sick with Covid for several weeks. Fortunately, no one died. Covid is not over, despite what people want to believe.
