@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social I don’t miss the new term with accompanying freshers’ ‘flu’. It annoys me that we accepted it, struggled in, spread it around and sometimes even caught it again as it recirculated, or something very like. So many Christmas holidays spent in bed… Oh how we sneered at a professor, who often researched in Asia, who always wore a mask when ill. Many thought it was mere posturing. Not laughing now are we? I always wear an N95 apart from in my own home or in my daughter’s. I remove my mask at the dentist’s at the last moment and put it back on asap. I always ask for the first appointment on a Monday morning. I’ve only had a ‘cold’ once in the past 6 years and that was post-dental appointment. When my employer wanted me back on campus I was fortunately in a position to be able to stop working. I know it’s not that easy for others. I do get gawped at or studiously avoided when wearing a mask at the gym. 😷🤷🏻‍♀️😂 No one can be glad for #COVID but I learned a thing or two.
