Why are you wearing a mask?

 

 

Cold? Flu? Dengue? Covid? There is so much in the air nowadays that when you do not feel well, you need to be tested for everything.

Two Saturdays ago, I started with a sore throat that ended up in my sinus canals (if that is what they are called). Anyhow, I took all the tests and it turns out that I just had the common cold, which goes to prove that my immune system is down still due to dengue.

Staying home was not a problem, the issue was going to work. I only work 3 days a week now (heading towards retirement) therefore, one those 3 days I wore a mask. Mind you, I am not the only one with who was wearing a mask. There were staff members and students too.

Many people asked me what the matter was. I answered that I had a cold and now that I am older, I spit when I talk, so I did not want to spread my germs around unlike some people who just sneezed and you could see all those little killer-drops floating in the air.

I am still not completely over my cold, but at least now I won´t contaminate anyone.

Let´s protect one another. Wear a mask when necessary!
