As I sit in my office building for 8 hours with a mask on, listening to people around me act like it’s over. I am counting down the seconds till I can be back in my house, safe and sound.

    Don’t get it twisted, this conversation was not between people who understand the nuances of public health. It was the treat brained people who yearn to be in the office and eat shitty pizza with their colleagues.

    COVID is still scary, I wouldn’t be wearing a mask 8 hours a day at my email job if it wasn’t. I also like avoiding the flu and all the other illnesses that we as a society have deemed okay to spread to each other.

    This was merely a rant post because it pains me to sit at my desk behind a bunch of people who minimize my concerns and experiences. I totally see your point tho, and don’t mean to belittle it.

      Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray without requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against all major SARS-CoV-2 variants.

      Hopefully this brightens your day.
