Mar 2023

a fourth to a third of people I see in stores are masked.

I no longer mask. Vaccinated and double boosted.

I also happen to be the very healthiest person I know. Never get sick. Don't do the flu vaccine, and last had flu some 50 years ago. I am not about to suggest someone else not get the vaccine. But honestly, if everyone were as healthy as I am, most doctors would have to find new jobs, and most hospitals would shut down.
