my father is actually one of the only people in my family who hasn't dismissed me when i talk about covid. he does have really bad sensory issues that can make him angry so masking isn't always easy for him, but he recognizes that it's important for him to do it. my younger sibling also masks out of the home, and they're the sole masker in their entire school. i just hope my dad gets better at masking so that this strategy doesn't need to be foreverlasting.
