Yeah masks definitely work. I suffered an asthma attack at age 5 that put me in the hospital so my mom made me wear a mask back in 1988 walking around town. I bitched about wearing them when I was 5, it's ridiculous to see grown adults do the same thing.

Razr is planning to make an active mask that covers only part of you face. I may get it depending on cost and availability

you're right not engage, literally not worth wasting your breathe on these chuds.

@Binro same here, ironically I've never been so healthy through the winter. Masks work! I see why they got so popular in East Asia, and definitely plan to stick with the habit (and related ones like the frequent hand washing).

I'm lazy though, sticking with boxes of cheapo masks from the pharmacy.

Before covid, I got into a good hand washing routine and I avoided getting a flu or the common cold for like 7 years. Hand washing frequently and not touching your face unless you've washed is huge.

I've worked in industrial food manufacturing for the past 16 years and the only year I got sick regularly was a 1 year stint away from the industry doing something else.

It was the handwashing, it works. It's the single biggest thing you can do to keep yourself and others healthy.
