Y'all in Ritchie, please wear your masks (over your mouth and nose)

Discussion

Like I get that you don't feel that threatened by COVID. And I understand that you might not even get THAT sick when you get it.

But look at the news out of Cornell / Ithaca right now. The vaccines just don't work that well again Omicron. But a mask is a mask. Wear your KN95s. It's just for a few more days.

I know it's uncomfortable because I do it every time. But while I don't believe UMD will ever go completely online again, you had best believe that they WILL close the gyms again or at the very least go back to the strict capacity restrictions from Spring 2021. I don't know if you remember but it was awful.

They WILL close the gyms again if it's thought that that's where an Omicron outbreak happened.

I agree completely but do you really think they’re checking reddit 😑

At my local gym maybe 70% of the gym-goers actually wear their mask properly if at all. People especially don't care at the gym for whatever reason.

“For whatever reason” = want to breathe normally

Try breathing normally with COVID. Pretty hard.

Unless your using a pillow for a mask, shouldn’t be suffocating you, right?

It's kinda like driving. Yeah there's a chance that you can get into a crash not even being ur fault but the risks outweigh the rewards.

Omicron has resulted in like one death so far. I understand your point that it still spreads COVID, but isn't the point of being vaccinated so you can contract it and be fine?

You understand that UMD only has this indoor mask mandate because of PG county, right? Meaning if PG as a whole had less cases and a higher vax percentage, masks probably wouldn't even be required.

What we should be doing is encouraging everyone to consume a healthy diet (stop eating dogshit McDonald's and pigging out on snacks) and exercise a large amount. Having great cardio health protects against the virus more than any vaccine ever could.
