I think if this "wildfires are normal, power through it" attitude continues in society, I need a mask better than a KN95 for work when there's smoke.
People already think I am weird for masking. I may as well be comfortable while they judge me.

Thoughts I am having this week: Health is supposedly very important in society. But no one actually cares about health. They care about the appearance of health. As long as you look thin, young, fit, etc, it doesn't matter if you actually are. Just slap on the veneer. Good enough. I feel like this is why we could eradicate smallpox and nothing else. Smallpox was physically disfiguring. It was there, literally in everyone's face, that this disease was around and was terrible. If COVID caused blisters we'd be moving on it pdq.
