Please remember to wear masks, no matter what.

I don't post often, but I wanted to remind myself (and others, if they would be so forbearing), to wears masks, not matter what.

Although i am fully vaxxed (second jab in june, was eagerly anticipating getting a booster in January), I got a case of breakthrough covid. I'm pretty sure I got it at work. I work at a non profit that has a small paid staff and tons of volunteers. Unfortunately, one of the volunteers had covid, I had some interaction with them and during a couple of the interactions, forgot to wear my mask. I developed what i thought was a bad sinus infection that turned into an ear and throat infection. I went and got tested after my supervisor told me about this volunteer testing positive for covid. I believe at the time of our interactions, the person was asymptomatic, but they did mention not feeling 100%, but had to get some stuff done. As far as I know, the person is also fully vaxxed.

I am a bit freaked out because of having exposed family to covid during thanksgiving. I didn't start feeling bad until thanksgiving friday,
and even then, passed it off as a bit of a chill, since the thanksgiving dinner the day before was mostly outside on a covered deck in cool and somewhat rainy weather. By sunday night, temp had gone up to 101, and i started to feel really bad. Got tested Thursday, got results yesterday, and here we are. I did let everyone i had been in contact with over the holiday know my results. Fortunately at this time, everyone i have been around is well and not showing any symptoms.

Masks do work. So does the vaccine; I am at home recovering, not taking up a valuable hospital bed that's needed for someone in more dire straits than I am. Wear the mask, get the vaccine and booster as soon as you can.

Thank you, DU'ers, for being here.


Anyone want to tell them?

Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter!!!!!

Yes, Horshack.

If the vaccines are so wonderful and effective, why do we still need to wear masks?

This is going to get so much appropriate use:

Just got back from a trip up into the Santa Cruz Mountains to cut a Christmas Tree (at a well managed tree farm). Not a mask in sight, and appropriately so. Open air and almost never being within 10 or 20 feet of strangers is about as low risk as possible (being alone on a deserted island would be lower risk, for Covid at least).

And why did the DUmmy get a breakthrough case of covid if he/she was vaccinated?

Biden goes out to eat maskless in DC despite cold, with Kennedy Center event on Sunday
Biden was seen maskless after press secretary Jen Psaki said DC should reinstate its mask mandate to abide by CDC guidelines

Despite battling a cold, President Biden has packed his schedule this weekend with a maskless dinner out on the town and plans to attend a Kennedy Center event.

That should become a handy-dandy emoji added to the hundreds we already have here.

Let’s see … have to be vaxxed to fly internationally. Have to wear a mask to fly at all …


How did this get here?

I’m asking for a friend. Me. I’m the friend.

The hair sniffing was pretty bad... having a naked geriatric sniffing their hair? Even worse.  Think he requested they play with his leg hair in the pool?

Hmmm. If your vaccine wouldn't protect you, WHY would my vaccine protect you?

And why did the DUmmy get a breakthrough case of covid if he/she was vaccinated?

Because clearly some anti-vaxxer infected the poor vaccinated volunteer who in turn passed it on to the second vaccinated worker who forgot to wear their homemade Sponge Bob Square Pants mask obviously.

The Kung Flu is breaking through anything.  It's just Fauci-speak for what is actually a vaccine fail. The term breakthrough is used to pretend that vaccine failures aren't vaccine failures.

The vaccine is basically the same as the Flu shot. Doesn't mean you wont get it but will help with the severity. Did all these idiots wear a mask during flu season?

That's pretty much sums up my thoughts.  Naturally, I represent the care free one on the right.
