Traveled to the Midwest this week, and I’m definitely feeling like the lone-masker.
Still, the number of people in the last 2 days who’ve said “you’re smart for wearing that”, when referencing the Darth Vader kn94s I’m rocking, is encouraging.
However, I’m puzzled as to why no one else seems to want to join me in the big brain club.
For the #CovidIsNotOver crowd in Southern #England / #Cymru #Wales (or farther afield in #Britain #UK I suppose, if you can manage) -- there is a 'Spoonie Rave' happening in Bristol on 6 April.
FFP2 or better masks required. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Are ReadiMasks really as effective as 3M Auras? Feel like I can breathe much more easily through the former, which makes me suspicious about their filtration power/leaks.

"Through it all, governments and media grasped for any explanation that did not feature the collapse of public health and introduction of a novel virus that harms immune systems."

"Five years after the start of the worst health crisis in living memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us? At each level there is room for improvement, but we’re not addressing it. Let’s hope we can have that conversation before we’re tested again, but first the more strident – and misguided – voices have to pipe down."

For real. It’s infinitely frustrating and disappointing.
