What struck me about the recent street footage of Japan was that every single person was wearing a mask. No mask mandates - just a place where community awareness and shared responsibility are core. Not like our selfish “all about me” culture. We have a lot to learn

Just picked up my car from the bodyworks. Woman in the office there told me I don't have to wear a mask anymore & then said "I don't even care if I get it now - it's just a cold" Maybe I should have responded with "people like you are the reason I'm still wearing one"

Coming to the realisation that I will be masking “forever”. Covid isn’t going anywhere…vaccines are becoming less effective…evidence of long term issues is increasing…repeat infections worsen the odds. What choice do we have if we don’t want to become one of the infected?

There’s a highly contagious new variant spreading through the community. We know that current vaccines don’t offer much protection, especially if you’re months out from your last dose. Nor does prior infection. Why wouldn’t you wear a mask?
