Another of my occasional reminders that COVID-19 is still with us.
Join us for Linda’s One-Liner Wednesdays, which I occasionally use to shamelessly promote another blog post. 😉 Learn more here: https://lindaghill.com/2022/08/24/one-liner-wednesday-upon-the-throne/

Thanks for the reminder. I’m trying to get back into the habit of wearing a mask, even if I’m the only one.

Is there a higher level of community risk where you are, JoAnna?

I believe the current risk here is “medium.” It seems I’m hearing about one or two positive covid cases among my friends or acquaintances every week. But very few people wear masks here. Maybe it’s because the current virus is not as deadly?

I don’t know that the current strains are less deadly. I think it is more that there is a level of immunity in the community now, some from vaccination and some from prior infection, that we didn’t have early on in the pandemic. There are also medications to help treat symptoms that we didn’t have then either.
I think my level of tolerance for the mortality rate nationally is lower than others. I don’t think 400-500 people dying every day from COVID is acceptable.

I feel like we should put this on billboards.

It might help in some places. In others, it would probably get defaced. That’s part of the problem.
