My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID.
(lemmy.world)
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
A properly fitted n95 mask is very effective at preventing infection.
Simply masking around groups though isn't enough as it can linger in the air. The amount of effort to actually wear the mask everywhere you'd need to is pretty high and one slip up is all it takes. It comes down to trade offs at that point of how often you wear it.
