@blm1007blm1007 @irenea8 I masked the entire 7 weeks I was in pulmonary rehab. Some other patients did, some did not. All the rehab nurses did but I don’t think it was required. I mask indoors when in public, period. I started with the onset of Covid, long before I was diagnosed with BE/NTM, and never stopped. I have never had Covid (knock on wood) and have not had a single respiratory illness (other than recent BE/NTM diagnosis) since I started masking. I suspect that is why I am largely asymptomatic. I also work out at a gym regularly, again masked the entire time. No one is masked anywhere, but I have stayed healthy wearing my mask (KN-95 or N-95). My rehab nurses taught me about this great product that goes inside the mask to keep it off your face which I find really helpful when working out at the gym in my mask. Without it, when the intensity level goes high it can feel challenging to breath in the mask, but I am working pretty hard at this point, not sure that is an issue for everyone. Bottom line: masking has kept me incredibly healthy and because of this I could care less what anyone says about it or whether others are doing it. I mask, period.
