COVID is on the rise again, with a peak likely over the holiday season.
Given this, health authorities in a number of Australian states have recommended people start wearing masks again. In Western Australia, masks have been made mandatory in high-risk areas of public hospitals, while they’ve similarly been reintroduced in health-care settings in other parts of the country.
Hospitals and aged care facilities are definitely the first places where masks need to be reinstated during an epidemic. But authorities are differing in their recommendations currently. Calls to mask up, particularly in the wider community, have not been unanimous.

Yep true-
N95’s used correctly are QUITE effective. And lower viral loads help: Even if you get sick, likely you’ll do better.

It’s a bit of a learned skill, and takes willpower. Which few have. Not many FReepers, that’s for sure.
OTOH, the current “mild” COVID strains can still be real “fun” if they get into your gut. I’m on the tail end of that now. (I’d stopped wearing a mask in uncrowded places.)
It is a lot like a strong case of food poisoning or Salmonella, except it lasts longer. OMG...
