I’m immunocompromised and still mask indoors. I haven’t been sick at all since 2020 and it’s awesome!
Between 40-60% of people have some form of permanent brain damage and 70-80% have long covid problems from Covid. The damage to the body compounds every time a person gest re-infected, so the numbers are terrifyingly high.
I have a postmortem science degree and it required 4 years of pre-med/pathology. With all that and what we know about the virus, I am honestly not sure I’ll stop wearing a mask indoors until we find a cure or better vaccine. I can’t stand that politicians are trying to ban masks, essentially sacrificing the elderly, disabled, and ill. A government making medical decisions, creating an environment where a person can’t mask up, regardless of if they have cancer and want to stay safe; or if they’re severely sick with something else but need to pick up medication at a pharmacy… it’s dark. It’s fucked up
Long covid is generally definied as having any symptoms persisiting greater than 6 (?IIRC) months after first detection, so having a niggling cough that hung around that long would count as long covid. Some form of permenant brain damage is incredibly vague and sounds like it would apply to a night of heavy drinking.
I was very serious about masking, and noticed that for that two years I never even got a cold. Not once did I test positive and I did it once a week for the first year. So, fist bump for taking masking seriously.
If I do, there’s usually hand sanitizer in my bag. But no one really shakes hands anymore. Dirty habit anyway. We may as well cup each others genitalia.

Wait what? I’m with you on masking etc., but those numbers seem a bit high, where did you get those from?

Have you also not been shaking hands or fist bumping people?

If we are clothed then this may be preferable, so long as you don’t have a strong handshake.
you know some people would. Overly strong grip to show dominance 🙄
And some enjoy being dominated 😬
