May be an unpopular decision but I’m sticking with the mask, gloves, and hand sanitizer for the flu season…bc being sick sucks

Doing basic precautions to keep yourself and others healthy shouldn't be unpopular.

Thanks for continuing to do the right things. :)

I’ve been utilizing these same tactics so you’re certainly not alone. Sometimes I feel silly because it feels like I’m the only one still doing it (never mind the strange looks I sometimes receive) but I haven’t been sick with anything in ~2.5 years which has been really nice.

Same here — haven’t been sick since this all started. But it makes me wonder if that means my immunity to cold/flu isn’t getting its exercise. Does staying home for a few years lead to getting an AWFUL cold when you do finally get one again? Hmm.

I don't do it but I don't care either if I see someone in a mask. Maybe it would have been weird pre-2020 but now I just don't think about it.

I feel like it'd be a lot more understood nowadays, especially considering the decrease in other illnesses back when we were doing that.
