I do not wear masks unless going somewhere that requires it. There is not
proof they work and too much evidence they make things worse. That being said I
have spent a couple of days at an amusement park and a couple of days at a
water park last month. Probably going to go back again this weekend. I am not
worried. If I get it I get it. I don’t want to get the cold or flu either but I
don’t avoid life to try and not catch those either. This covid is just a little
bit strong strain of the flu.
