Covid hasn’t entirely gone away—here’s where we stand

The funny thing is, popping a mask on when you don't feel well or think you're at risk is a scientifically sound thing to do. The sad irony is that, culturally, too many people in this country have been conditioned to resist it as some sign of fear or weakness.

And I'm going to get myself back into at least some kind of mask wearing pattern. I just know too many immunocompromised people to act like it's okay to put them at risk.
