Thought of the Day - December 13 2021 - Masks Are Good For Stuff

One thing I have noticed is how I have not had a cold and have actually had fewer allergies since I've started routinely using masks. While I don't get many colds in the first place I must admit I have had zero in the last two years. Now that I wear a mask when I am cutting the cedar hedges, when I am using the table saw, or when I am mowing the lawn, I have cut way back on minor breathing issues as well.

Moreover, guess what? If you take your well-worn mask in for analysis . . .

This is NOT what you would find. No, this was all a load of crap, that went viral on Facebook and other social and mainstream media outlets. Unfortunately, stories like these do more harm than good.

That said, having a filter in front of your lungs is good for you, especially if you have a poor immune system. A good thing to fight off COVID, and a good thing to reduce many more of the airborne pathogens and pollutants you inhale every day.

Will masks continue after COVID, let's hope so.

Happy masking.

Cheers
