For 10 years, Americans have had access to flu shots that protect against four strains of the virus: two A strains and two B strains. Starting this fall, however, all the flu shots distributed in the United States will contain only three strains, and the change happened in part because of Covid-19.
I sometimes feel like I’m the last person masking in the world, but obviously the government is on the side of capitalism in terms of public health so I’ll continue masking. I like not getting sick.
This is the issue. You wearing the mask protects you like 10% of the way (even the really good masks). It’s people who are sick wearing the mask that is the other 90%. If people wore a mask when they felt gross, that would be basically all that is needed.
I don’t know how anyone feels comfortable yet. 10K deaths in the US in the first two months of 2024 alone. At least in crowded and poorly ventilated places, or at least at hospitals.

Eh any risk I can reduce is worth it.
So glad I’m not the only one
