1) I haven't actually gotten a cold since this whole thing started. Used to be I'd get at least 1 in the spring and 1 in the fall, but not this year!
2) When I have bad breath, I'm the only one impacted. Not unrelated, I now carry mints.
3) People look 50% better, myself included
4) I can immediately tell who the dumb ones are because the mask goes under the nose. This makes them easier to avoid!

On #1 you are missing that getting colds is good for your immune system. The population as a whole is going to get a lot more minor illnesses once this thing clears up because we’ve been overprotecting our immune system. You need to live around germs to be able to fight off infections.

That’s why I’m glad I have a toddler. He brings home plenty of germs.

So I started researching pre-workout supplements again to get back into weight lifting. My old go-to was Jack3d. The stuff was amazing. I was essentially a rabid hamster being able to do 60 pound weighted pullups without issue. Come to find out, it was banned back in 2012 for having dmaa in it. The FDA banned it due to it essentially being synthetic meth. It explains so much about me now....

True enough. We'll pay the piper on this for years to come. I do get to be around my nieces and nephews, periodically. Small plague bearing rodents. Oddly, I haven't gotten many colds from them.

This is true - up to a point. The common cold and most other "germs" you are likely to run into are not like the virii that cause humans so many problems. Natural immunization is great (I'm a proponent of it) but it only goes so far.

Try to find a mask to fit my mug and have it stay up on my nose. Impossible. They are all too small. When I got fitted for my air respirator at the plant. They had to order an extra large. I haven't seen an extra large mask yet to fit me.

You guys don't know of all the hassles that come with wearing glasses and earing aids with the masks. Glasses fog up, and don't sit right. The masks put the hearing aids in a different position then what they are suppose to be in, plus cut into them.

If they only said that it's highly recommended that you should wear masks. Not force it down our throats. Think there would be less push back on wearing them. When you tell people that you shall do something instead of should do something. There is always resistance.

What some of the governors are doing. I think we will see it end up in court for overstepping their power.

Big Sharon could use you for an anal toy. You would be her version of a hamster. She could stick your whole body up her azz, and not even think about it.

With my hearing aids, the straps hook behind the piece that goes over the ear and pulls them off. I almost lost one in the airport when I had to show my ugly mug to the TSA guy.

It's a constant battle to get the mask off without snatching the hearing aids off....
