Maybe controversial opinion, but wearing a mask is less uncomfortable than being sick.

"A growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may instead be subtly altering our immune systems. If correct, their hypothesis will change how we understand everything from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to shingles to sepsis."
God damn, finally.

COVID is not over, sadly I got the confirmation that my positive rapid antigen test from this morning is correct. Thanks to awesome people for providing me with a #PlusLife #PCR grade test ❤️
Please test yourself, stay safe and wear masks.

Glad to see #masking at #Fedicon2025. About 5-10% of attendees are masked (less than 100%, but way more than 0%). Masks and hand sanitizer available. Thank you @reiver for announcing about masks. #Fedicon #CovidIsNotOver#YallStillMasking#YVR

#Fedicon2025#IndoorAirQuality report. CO2 (proxy for fresh air ventilation) is 600-700ppm, which is pretty good. PM2.5 (proxy for filtering) is 0.1 microgm/m3, which is quite good. AQI is 1, also very good. #CovidIsNotOver#YVR#Fedicon

I am immunocompromised and my partner recently tested positive for covid which he may have gotten at work. We are very careful but it can be hard to avoid when everything insists on going back to normal.
Luckily, isolation still works and is still worth it in 2025!
The pharmacist where I get my specialty meds (which I need due to an autoimmune disorder originally triggered by covid in 2022), told me it could be very serious if i so much as got a fever and that I should not wait if I start to get sick and would need to try and get antivirals right away. He was NOT reassuring and ended our phone call with "Good luck..."
How we isolated:
- he was mostly in the bedroom area with the door that closes, i was in the living room area
- well fitting kn95/n95 masks any time either of us had to use a shared area
- air purifiers in both areas (ikea ones are pretty okay)
- we tried to keep the windows open but we have been under heavy air quality warnings due to wildfires and had to close them, so the purifiers did a lot of heavy lifting
- we didn’t do great on keeping dishes completely separate as someone suggested but they were promptly washed
- replaced and washed towels and cloths as much as possible
- since we only have one bathroom, clean toilet between uses, anything that required taking my mask off like brushing my teeth i did in the kitchen sink (washing hair sucked, the counter is so high!)
- repeated testing

Hey! Heard about what's going on in Honduras lately? I bet you haven't seen it on the news! Why? Cause the socialists are running the place, and they're popular. Right now, they've got a PUBLIC HEALTH MASK MANDATE going on! We CAN have nice things. #WearAMask #maskup #CovidIsNotOver #socialismhttps://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/honduras-mandates-face-masks-again-respiratory-illnesses-spike-2025-07-25/

A good repeat for today: Vivafalastinleen from 2024. This is about genocide, but the same goes for fascism, which is much closer than you think, or only statements against war crimes, or working together with anti-democrats, or millions to the surveillance state while letting old people and disabled people prematurely die because they cost too much.

'For those who think genocidaires are a viable option just because they're "democrats" or "liberals"' over the clip of Vivafalastinleen, a young woman with long brown hair.
"Here's something people don't seem to understand. If they're comfortable killing other people, eventually they'll be comfortable killing you. If they're comfortable acting genocide against one group of people, they'll eventually are comfortable acting genocide against you. You are not exempt from the rules of violence that they set."

At the NY college I currently attend, they have been having High School seniors touring daily this week. Almost ALL of them were carrying masks and wearing them indoors.
Multiple groups, many different schools.
With Covid on the slow rise in NY for the anticipated summer wave, my Public Health pride burst a button.
Why is it so hard for some people not to take such a simple precaution?

Hey fedimind! I need some help!
I'm looking for reliable sources of information (not the CDC, which is currently censored) on current Covid levels and the need to continue wearing masks when indoors with crowds of people.
I need reliable sources that a household member would trust, because they suddenly refuse to wear a mask in crowded indoor settings.
Also, reports on the CDC's current state would be helpful.
