Hey, Washingtonians, Oregonians, Canadians et al—your resident “never stopped masking because my lungs and immune system suck” pal here. Just like when selecting a mask for virus protection, you want the mask that provides the best seal. Check for gaps around your chin, corners of your mouth, nose.
Library pro tip: never go in without locking the emergency stop. If the lights are motion activated and you’re alone, they will definitely turn off if you’re in there, someone will come in and assume sensibly that there’s no one there. Ask my busted ribs how we know!

Hang on a second, I just need to go back in time to the 1980's to stop Alan Kay at Xerox from destroying humanity four decades later.

Love to have a rando on here basically demanding to see my medical bloodwork results because they can’t believe that long covid is real. This is a proported leftist. There really is a problem and right wing people arent the only ones who are in denial. Have those conversations with people.
Appropriate air quotes because the most infuriating part about Americans debating "lockdown" is that it simply never happened. Having to pick up your Applebees and eat it on the sectional does not count. There wasn't even a brief moment where "everything" was closed. That's not real.
