awed-frog:

Just had my nth conversation with someone about mask-wearing today - yet another well-intentioned moron who was like 

• ‘But the virus is gone now’ (it isn’t) 
• ‘But the mask is uncomfortable’ (ventilators are worse)
• ‘But you’re young, you won’t die’ (having this thing could impact my health for decades to come + it’s my responsability to protect those who’re more vulnerable than I am because that’s how society works)
• ‘But are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life’ (taking concrete safety measures actually helps me feel more in control and less worried)
• ‘But are you going to give up everything and stay inside like a rat’ (no, but I’m definitely going to decide what’s worth risking my health for, and shopping for bread rolls is not very high on my list of literally-to-die-for activities)
• ‘But what if they never find a vaccine’ (then we’ll get used to the situation just like we got used to a thousand other things like seat belts, bike helmets, and increasingly weird true crime podcasts). 

I know it’s tiring to have people call you paranoid all the time - but you’re right and they’re wrong. Check the news, keep a safe distance from others whenever possible and keep wearing your mask!

(Btw that thread is full of interesting stuff.)

We went and got an ice-cream at a local outdoor stand. 

I make Koffer wear a mask, despite many grumblings. While people MOSTLY stayed apart (thank god) In front of us is a maskless ding dong. Behind us, a girl wearing one just over her mouth and her boyfriend wearing it as a chin guard. Behind him, a girl with a bandanna half down her neck. 

PLEASE WEAR YOUR GODDAMN MASKS. Wash your hands. Keep some hand sanitizer on your person. Social distance your asses.

CV19 cells can stay airborne for up to 10 minutes. We have no real data on long term immunity.  There is still no cure or vaccine. 

Please remember we are all responsible for each other.
