Mandatory No-Mask is such a weird stance, it violates both Health&Safety and Personal Choice/Freedom.
Was it even necessary? Like, does In-n-Out have so many staff still wearing masks that they've gotta mandate this?
Yeah, it's not. From my experience in the restaurant that I visit (in LA) I see maybe 1/4 or 1/5 that still wear them.
As a parent of a pre-K kid (for those who don't know, daycares and schools for young kids are grand centrals for microbes) I no longer get sick from covid, but I can still tell I got it, because there are specific symptoms I'm still getting from it that are quite annoying. One of the worst is that for few days I feel just extremely tired. If I have nothing to do, and I can just sleep that time off. Working during that time is no fun.
So even if mask reduces chance of getting that by half, it is still worth it. It also would help employer as being tired at job one won't get as productive as they normally could. And this is just my experience, and other people have it worse.
Just had it for the first time. About a week in I had a day where I was extremely tired, almost like I never fully woke up that morning despite getting a great night sleep. Pretty awful symptom and probably the worst of all the symptoms I had. I could barely function that day. Covid is a strange disease.
How are you still getting it that often. I got it once in the UK after if been jabbed three times, that felt like a pretty bad cold for a week, and since then I've tested with each cold, but it hasn't been Covid since that first time.
First thing is that, I am taking immuno-suppressing drug regularly.
Second thing is what is happening to me is (depending how you look at it) minor. I don't get cold symptoms anymore either (although I my first covid was just runny nose). The primary thing is that I get that mentioned tiredness. I think most people would chalk it up under having a bad day / not sleeping enough etc.
The thing though is that when it happens it comes with few other symptoms that I had when I had covid:
And those three things always come together at the same time.
Are you actually testing each time or assuming it's Covid?
No, I'm not testing and I doubt it would even show positive. I don't have any cold-like symptoms, and tests, test my mucus.
It's not like what you described having covid, or even my first covid.
Perhaps I should not say that I had covid, but instead I was exposed to it multiple times and my body naturalized it before it became anything significant but it still caused those symptoms?
Could it be long Covid from the confirmed times causing the knock on effects?
Maybe, but interestingly it comes and goes, and my immediate family also says that they feel tired at the same time.
If you think about it mandating masks for food prep makes way more sense.
They never cared about personal freedom I'm the first place it was just an excuse not to do what other people wanted them to do.
We have to strip you of your freedom in the name of freedom.
