18. What I have noticed since Covid spread

Sun Nov 17, 2024, 08:51 AM

Sunday

I often wear a mask and have not had a cold or flu in years.
No way to know if that is due to retirement and less exposure to folks with either or wearing a mask.
Most of us in the Caribbean don’t do flu shots.

Thanks and welcome to DU.
