By John, June 25, 2020 — Before this pandemic, I used to get 2 or 3 colds every winter. So, a year before the pandemic I said, “You know what? I’m going to try using these masks.” So I went to CVS and I bought a pack of surgical masks. And I just kept one on me and any time I was on the bus or the train, I wouldn’t put it on, but if someone coughed or sneezed I would put it on. And I just did that.
Well, wouldn’t you know it? That year was one of the worst years for getting colds and I usually get 2 or 3 as I said. I did not get any colds at all. So that’s when I was convinced I am going to be wearing a surgical mask whenever I get on the bus or the train, any enclosed space. So, it works!
