Will I be banned for writing this?
It's been proven (on myself, at least) that not wearing a mask is unhealthy. I'm about 90% better today and finally able to go out and enjoy the nice weather after being stuck at home for the past five days recovering from this very very bad cold. Seriously, this was a whopper of a cold! Imagine if it was Covid. I probably would've been hospitalized or died. For most people, a cold is just little bitty sniffles, but for me, it's head congestion and migraine, constant runny nose where I'm blowing my nose every 5 seconds until my nose gets raw, and the on and off fever that goes with it. How crappy I felt the last 5 days and I NEVER EVER want to get sick like this again! I have a ZERO sickness policy and will wear a mask FOREVER!!!!

It worked great for two years until I let my guard down during Memorial Day weekend.

Maybe, just maybe, you had way too little virus exposure and that's why the first one threw you for a loop. Think hard before undertaking your current planned course.

I know many people personally who NEVER get sick from the cold or flu. Trust me, getting sick all the time is not good!

This!!!

The mindset of the zombies - Oh no! If I get COVID I'll be hospitalized and possibly die!

Unless you have 4+ comorbidities, chances of "surviving" COVID are astronomical.

Do some research, geez.

Regardless, I was bedridden for 4 days with a bad cold. I’d prefer to enjoy the summer without getting bedridden again. Deadly or not, why would anyone want to get sick???

Who wants to get sick? I don't even want to get a hangnail.

Equating not wearing a mask to wanting to get sick is bonkers.

Why not walk around in a bullet-proof vest just in case you get shot?

I'd rather suffer through a cold or two each year than mask up for the rest of my life. Masking up is not living.

I'm beginning to think this poster is a troll. If not, I feel sorry for this person.
