I’m rather confused by the fact that people are not wearing masks…I must have missed the news report declaring covid is not harmful and the pandemic is over. My research said that it’s not over and that thousands have died in recent months..I also don’t think that covid is just another flu, the reports I read about long covid are frightening and I also have this condition from a covid infection in 2022. I can truly understand that we want to get on with our lives and put all the misery caused by covid behind us, however we have to come to the realization that it’s a whole new thing to adjust to, for some people the long covid is a nightmare filled with symptoms totally alien to us and in the meantime we have to find help and that’s also very challenging until they know more about it. All we can do is to talk to people and find out what they are doing and perhaps recommending what has worked for them, I know it’s different for everyone but there are some similar symptoms and that’s a good start.

You may have missed numerous reports indicating that masking, typically with cloth or paper masks, has not been proven to impact transmission.
There is a case for using well-fitted N95 masks, respirators, etc, however this is also not foolproof and the majority of people do not choose these options.
Masks can also contribute to sinus issues, asthma exacerbation, skin problems, and tend to collect dirt and germs.
The best thing we can do is wash our hands frequently and be careful about the surfaces we are touching. Physical contact with the virus is an extremely common method of infection.
Studies have shown that Covid can live in the digestive system well after current tests show negative, so washing after using the restroom is especially important.
