TuvixI've vastly reduced the places I consider mask usage, although I still have a non-valved mask with replacable filters that are decently affordable if it's not a daily-use requirement.23:57
TuvixAt this point I'm more or less resigned to COVID being a long-term infection that's here to say, though I keep the mask and my sealed filter replacements in case varients flare up in ways that I feel require extra mitigation.23:58
