Finally, masks are back…

Well…as you know I still wear a mask whenever I’m out and around people because I’m not going to get that damn disease…and it doesn’t bother me in the least when people give me dirty looks (hasn’t really happened much) when I’m grocery shopping…but today something weird happened…I’m normally the only one that has a mask on but not today…I must have counted almost 20 people in masks at Meijers and Aldis…and that surprised the heck out of me since people aren’t taking covid seriously anymore…but I am and I will continue to after reading the serious health effect of getting it just once…wear a mask to prevent brain damage? Yep…wear a mask to prevent Alzheimers? Yep…wear a mask to prevent heart and lung damage? Yep…you get the picture…my body is wearing out fast enough without letting a damn virus speed that up….at least more people are starting to figure that out, too…geez…

Back to the mask….

Well…darn, just when you think you’re out, they pull you back in…that line from “Godfather 3″ really describes this pandemic and the new variants that continue to evolve and explode across the world….over the past few days, China has basically locked down over 100 million people in 4 cities across the country and the trend is that South Korea and other Asian countries are going to have to do the same…and that all but guarantees that the recession that has been looming on the horizon is going to happen when all of the computer chips manufacturing from the affected areas in China just stop…as they have just yesterday….and one of the biggest contributors to this explosion of virus in China is that the Sinovac vaccine is not really effective against Omicron2 and they have not been getting boosters into arms there…there is even a huge spike in cases in Europe where they have lifted all covid restrictions just like here in the US and you can see where that is leading us…another “wave” just like the original Omicron and another quarter of a million deaths that I am not going to be one of…so, back to masks for whenever I go out around people starting tomorrow…I do have 26 N-95′s that I haven’t started to use yet and will probably hold off on until it gets bad around here….and I will get the 4th shot as soon as it is available to boost protection against getting sick…and my second set of free covid tests are supposed to arrive today so I can know what is going on if I do get sick….and then I can protect people around me by using the n-95′s or just staying home….here we go again….
