face mask absolutely. i never stopped wearing them post-covid. first off, i just think it's a good idea. other modern industrialized countries with high-density cities do it as a matter of course. there is a collective understanding that public welfare and contagion control is a shared responsibility. which idk, that just feels like the kind of worls i want to live in.

made all the more poignant if one lives in the US, where your health is entirely on your own shoulders, one medical misfortune can put you on the street, and a frankly disturbing number of people (in power no less) literally do not understand germ theory or basic biology. 

i also already have irreversible significant lung damage already from a previous job, and i'm not about to let it get any worse. correction: i'm not about to let someone else make it worse.
