I only gave it up a year ago after COVID had begun, but suddenly everyone around me is snorting and hacking, and apparently very few people bother covering their mouth when they do anymore. It’s just for crowded spaces but 1 in 65 people in Canada have COVID right now, and while I’m super ultra vaccinated I don’t want to catch anything in general. It feels strange.

    I have been wearing a P100 half-face respirator for the last 5 and a half years. I don’t think I’ll be stopping anytime soon. I’m a secondary teacher, so I literally use a microphone and speaker, because I can’t afford to keep getting sick every time Ms. Entitled decides that not having to watch over her sick kid is more important than the health of everyone at school and sends her ill child to cough all over everyone.
