      I had actually bought masks in 2018 because I was tired of getting sick every third flight. And then chickened out and didn’t wear them because it just wasn’t done at the time, at least outside of Asia.

      Ended up donating that box to my primary care when supplies were short at the beginning of Covid.

        Yeah a friend of mine noted one good thing out of COVID was that wearing a mask would be normalized here in the US. (She is susceptible to respiratory issues, so she has to be careful.)

        Unfortunately…we did not see the current idiot backlash coming.
