A bunch of people in my school discord were shaming me for wearing a mask, and when I argued about it they said I was just ugly and wanted to hide it and also that covid was just a cold. The worst part is that one of them was a comrade.
I feel like I can’t trust anyone I know anymore, just a few close friends.
I’ve stopped wearing a mask because the government here in Portugal has declared that Covid is now a normal disease. That’s right, if you become infected you have to come to work and there is no isolation anymore. This is irresponsible. So I’m not sure if there’s a point in continuing to wear a mask, since they seem to be actively trying to get everyone infected.
You shouldn’t have to come into work having any disease.
Yes, it’s actually more important than ever to wear a mask that can protect you from getting infected. That means an n95 or ffp2 mask, not with ear loops, fit tested. It won’t be 100% effective at keeping you from getting Covid but it will decrease the frequency which gives you more time to recover between getting reinfected, which should decrease your chance of serious sequelae somewhat. If you can bring a corsi-rosenthal box in to your workplace and open a window to let the virus out it will also help remove virus from the air and reduce exposure.
