Ugh, this would've been me but I succumbed to covid in April this year due to being at a wedding... The one time I didn't wear my mask 😷

The mask isn't for you, it's for everyone else.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's more for everyone else, yes, but it does still help you.

That's a respirator.

From the fashion pov it could still classify as "mask"

[–] waitmarks@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Pedantically yes, but most people just call them all masks at this point.

I honestly think I'm immune or something. I pretty much followed all the lockdown rules, though I didn't go disinfecting my groceries like some people I know. After things loosened up I went on a day trip with a group of friends, and we all had dinner & drinks together afterwards. One woman unknowing had COVID, and over the next few days everyone else came down with it. Except me. Last Christmas I spent with close friends, lots of kissing and hugging - COVID for them but not me. I still get all my shots (five so far), I'm scared of long COVID more than anything. I'm too busy to be long-term sick.

Edit just to add that I tested negative every day for a week after those exposures.
