Before covid, I would be sick with a cold or flu for a total of about two weeks every year. That means I spent 4% of my time sick; one out of every 25 days. Since covid appeared, I’ve been wearing an N95 in crowded indoor areas whenever I reasonably can. (Obviously I can’t if I’m eating something.) My main goal initially was to protect my elderly relatives, but during the last four years I have not gotten sick even once, except from my elderly relatives who didn’t wear masks, got sick, and then infected me when I was caring for them.
Why isn’t everyone wearing N95s? Sure, it’s uncomfortable, but being sick is much more uncomfortable. And then there’s the fact that wearing an N95 protects other people and not just the wearer…
Did you ever stop and think that maybe the problem with Gen Z was their lack of coal mining experience before the age of 12?
If this is your first time thinking about it, let me save you the trouble and assure you that yes, that is the problem.
So, long story short, we need to elect legislators that will finally allow young children back to working full-time in the mining industries.
Except for OP, it seems like they already have all the health benefits that come from spending an entire childhood breathing in coal dust.
