@davidcelis right?? My first cold after pandemic kicked off was a shock - like we used to tolerate this shit?? Itโ€™s terrible!

@davidcelis I used to get sick at least 4 times a year on average. I had a minor head cold (I think) for a few days a year ago, and that was the only one since 2019. I don't get why people are fine with suffering the way I used to (and worse) when a mask stops it
