Seriously? I found masks uncomfortable and annoying, I would hate the idea of it being the new norm for the rest of our lives.
I live in a climate which gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I was often getting hot under the mask or fogging up my glasses so bad I couldn’t see where I was going.
I would honestly rather just get the latest vaccine and risk getting a little sick by not wearing a mask than going through that whole mask thing again
The 3M Aura and Vflex both breathe easily as heck. I’ve worn them on 40 degree days and I felt fine. They don’t block air like surgical masks.
Good luck getting a new booster in most Western countries.
If it comes down to then being required again I’ll look out for those and give them a try.
I’m in the US, I think we have had maybe the best access to these vaccines. I just checked one pharmacy in my area, 17 locations within 30 miles all with appointments today, I can even choose between Moderna and Pfizer. I haven’t gotten a booster in a while, but I want to say I’ve gotten the first two shots and like 2-3 boosters. The last booster was an updated one I think for Delta.
boosters don’t have much impact on you getting other people sick. you can get a spray to stop glasses fogging up, you can get cooling towels or a personal fan to deal with overheating. wear a fucking mask please
I hated them too but they’re an effective public health tool if they’re actually used. 🤷
I agree with you, at the same time it would be great if our air output would be viewed as “unclean” with masks being the worst fix for that if no better ventilation systems are available. We need to stop recirculating somebody elses waste air in indoor environments to make airborn diseases less common.
It is hot here but it doesn’t get very humid. So maybe it is easier. It could get uncomfortable at time but I still liked it. It did take a few tries to get masks that worked for my glasses, this is also true.
It doesn’t get humid where I am either, I personally never found a mask I was really happy with, then I just got fed up with it and only wore it when I didn’t have a choice.
I dunno. Maybe I am just weird but I like wearing work gloves and touching stuff I know wouldn’t be good to touch bear handed. I always kinda get that same feeling from wearing a mask.
