Reminder to #MaskUpSaveLives.

More than #covid is #airborne - #measles is airborne too. Also, with #wildfires & folks with pollen allergy issues - wearing a mask helps with not getting super sick, especially if others also mask up. You're guaranteed only one life - don't fuck it up by simply refusing to #MaskUp
