I have travelled a lot in the last few months and been to many places and can only report very positive experiences of wearing a mask. Don’t be put off by wearing one. I’ve met many lovely people and no one treated me any differently. I met a lot of people, I didn’t get sick either and had a great

There are many lovely mask covers and colourful ones you can get. You don’t have to look medical.

Wearing a mask meant I could carry out important tasks without being ill and not miss work.

I should also report I have always suffered with terrible hayfever and the upside of wearing one is that this year I could visit many beautiful parks without the after effects.

How do you manage to feed yourself while traveling? Seems like it would be hard to eat meals without being unmasked indoors around a lot of other people.

we get takeout. if the weather is nice we eat outside, otherwise in the motel room/airbnb. eating at 3 pm in an unpopulated restaurant with high ceilings, which requires advance recon, is a less risky option. Using Norizite nasal spray reduces the risk of infection by up to 70 percent.

Very good ideas Sue, they are also doing an oral spray as well as nasal now, which combined they estimate the efficacy to be 80%?
