Several days ago, I was forced into a situation that all too many of my fellow #Covid cautious people deal with on a regular basis: Being around sick people and unable to just leave. In my case, it was Jury duty, and I spent much of the several hours it took to not get picked sitting nearby a woman who was sniffling and hacking up a lung. Meanwhile, the courtroom was a sad symphony of coughs.

I meditated on the breaths through my excellent fit-tested #Envomask, an elastomeric #N95, with my eyes closed as much as possible. Four days and two molecular tests later, I'm feeling fine and no longer anxious.

I hate wearing that fucking mask, but it really does work.
