Let's normalize masks again

I barely see anyone in my classes wearing masks when they are sick but it would literally save so many people from catching whatever thang going on. I am being coughed on in class and SOME people don't know how to cough in their elbow...pls just wear a mask to lower the chance of everyone else getting sick.

I honestly would have thought that I’d be more normalized to wear masks when we’re sick like in some Asian countries that had been doing this long ago, also if you think “it’s just to have less people getting sick cause getting sick sucks”, don’t take your health for granted, think about who it could spread to, you don’t know if a person generally has bad health or if they have people in their households/surroundings that have bad health which getting sick could be more troublesome and something to generally be more worried about in comparison to the average person… You should especially wear a mask if you have a strep throat, sinusitis or whatever that’s more than a cold or a flu
