Reply to comment by joeydokes in RSV - and what I thought/hoped was Mainers common sense by joeydokes

I'm 200% okay with wearing a mask in public for the rest of my life if it means countless people get to live longer healthier lives, including myself, and its disturbing to me that its uncommon to think this way.

For what it's worth, thank you for being this way.

I didn't think that it would be this hard of a lift for people (10-15 minutes of mask wearing at the grocery store/pharmacy/unavoidable-indoor-space).

I have lost family from covid in multiple ways. Some have passed from the disease itself, other's have shown very clearly that their convenience is more important than my ability to draw breath.

I would "stay inside forever" as many have suggested I do since the beginning of covid, but unfortunately that's impossible to accomplish without being independently wealthy.

wearing a mask in public, indoors, is a courtesy; specially if your coughing or potentially shedding. It's like farting in a closed space. Just don't, please.
