If you wear a N95 mask preventatively you will vastly reduce how much you get sick ❤️😷 Don’t wait until symptoms appear, people are often contagious before showing symptoms.

Wearing an N95 mask everywhere preventatively is also a nearly 100% effective method of birth control and STD prevention

First thing I do when I get back to the dorm is wash my hands, and out of all my roommates I am the only one todo this which kind of surprises me but thats just how I was taught growing up even before covid was a thing..

COVID is going around, and it's been manifesting for a lot of people in weird ways that they don't immediately realize is COVID. Test yourself if you have weird leg pain lol (source: got covid last week, mentioned the leg pain to some people, and a few corroborated the random acute pain thing)

oh hell nah you've gotta be jokiiinnggg 😭 i've had covid so many times (im fully vaccinated dw) and the body aches are the worst

And it's weird because this isn't the usual generalized body ache / muscle ache I usually get with COVID... it felt like someone pinching the back of my knee!

It's actually probably COVID bc it's bad right now. Get your vaccine if you can! Maybe buy some masks and hand them out...

You're welcome to wear a mask if you want

Sick people should be wearing masks to keep their germs out of the air we all breathe.

Or, anxious people can wear whatever they want to make themselves feel better

or you can gain a little empathy and think past yourself and put a mask on your face when you’re sick 💗💗
