I plan to keep wearing masks

I'm living my life as if Earth is becoming the ecological disaster that's been predicted since the 1960s. It means continuing to wear a mask even after the pandemic is declared over, as part of this crucible we are all living through is disease, new unknown viruses as well as revival of old ones.  

Over population combined with neglect of public education brought us religious fanaticism and hatred, plus confusion about science brought back measles, who knows when we'll have small pox and polio again. Covid will never go away thanks mostly to American ignorance. 

I already isolate because our streets are so hazardous you can be made dead by a vehicle while just walking on a sidewalk. No local news will report your death. I walked to the bank six weeks ago, 2 blocks, and almost got hit by one of America's new who-gives-a-fuckers in a car.

My mask keeps out flus and allergens, as well as any new mutations of covid. PLUS it filters out Some of the carbon fuels that permeate the air even here in Lake Tahoe a resort town at six thousand feet that is beautiful, but is now becoming covered with asphalt, wood and glass mansions behind walls, choking traffic, and ever increasing auto exhaust fumes. 

Less pollution though than the rest of the world. At this elevation, a lot of the garbage just blows away. 

But it's still covering the planet.
