listen y'all, we need to realise masking isn't the solution to everything.
i'm 100% in favour of masks, and i still mask, and yet i caught COVID twice. the second time it was (i'm almost certain, the dates line up) when i was at the hospital getting my broken nose fixed, meaning i literally couldn't wear a mask.
like even when i first went to the hospital right after breaking my nose i wore a mask with moderate pain. but during the followup when the doctor tells you "hey put that stuff up your nose and wait here a quick 15" you literally can't mask. and so i got COVID.
because you can't just tell people to mask up. like it's a good idea, but it won't solve the problem. this is *a systemic issue* and it needs to be solved in a *systemic way*.
so yeah, mask up, and try to (kindly!) ask other people to mask up too. but don't treat that as a silver bullet. we need and should ask for an actual solution.
