This is probably central to the reason why Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and other East Asian countries have weathered the pandemic better than nations where its not the part of the culture to wear isolation masks when one has even a cold.
It is a wonderful unintended consequence of this plague the the flu numbers are way, way down. So, I probably will wear a mask now every time I feel sick. I have dozens of them, why not? I won’t go as extreme with self isolation, but I am afraid that some new habits are going to be here to stay.
I tell you hwat, I haven’t gotten my normal colds, flu, anything since I started wearing a mask in public. It won’t be as extreme as it was, but I’ll be thrilled to make this part of my post-COVID routine if it continues to cut down on me getting sick.
