    i remember the last time i went to a hospital, everyone was unmasked and coughing. i was super anxious, and tensing up made the pain hurt more, lol

    wish mask mandates had at least always stayed in hospitals at least, but the urge to back to normal is too strong i guess

      I mean, doesn't it make sense for people to mask in a place where many people with respiratory viruses go to be treated? I never understood why people never seem to wear a mask except in parts of Asia.
