How 'bout you? Feeling lucky or taking precautions?
"Masking can feel like a thing of the past in the US, even in cities such as New York and Los Angeles that once embraced the precaution. But as healthcare facilities grapple with a tripledemic of respiratory viruses with Covid, flu and RSV surging simultaneously experts are once again urging the public to don face coverings."

(36,527 posts)medical facilities around here. I have had shingles shots, flu shots and what 4 or 5 COVID shots and haven't had it yet.
I was just talking to someone a couple days ago that has had all the shots and has had COVID twice.

(5,818 posts)I take it down when having lunch at work. Unfortunately, the breakroom tends to be crowded and I'm one of the very few who mask at all.
And lo and behold, I'm currently fighting a nasty cold (at least, I hope that's all it is) because of one stupid bastard who wouldn't even cover his mouth when he coughed.
Which is exactly how I caught COVID back in the early days!
