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

It’s really personal preference at this point. Masking will definitely help stay more protected, but eventually you or your kid(s) will get RSV. Again, the reason this is a “surge” and all over the news isn’t bc RSV is a big deal (normally) it’s bc of confluence of events and all the hospitals blowing up with admissions all at once. O don’t think the majority of people will return to masking nor do I think masking requirements should return. But if individuals want to continue to do so, that’s perfectly acceptable.

Word.

And your pointing out the burden of this confluence of events (this winter) was my reason for posting. Ascertaining if people are willing to mask up (indoors) to reduce the expected stress on the health-care system.
