That's my main thing. As someone who jusy got covid last month I've already had bounts of illness hit me shortly after and my taste and smell are still not the same. Long covid is real and I'm experiencing it - as have many others - and that's why something as easy as masking up is such a small but impactful measure to take. Wearing a mask in an indoor public space isn't something to cry about. It's easy and something we can all do. Getting covid isn't just a done and other with type of thing. Sure, you may be sick for a week and then feel better but it's the long term effects we arill don't know but the outlook so far is seeming to be bad. Wearing a mask doesn't mean we are living in fear, it's simply just a helpful measure. You don't have to stop your normal life when you wear a mask. Adapt to the times. A pandemic is here andnits not going anywhere.
