Also how are your masking habits? I've heard America doesn't mask anymore which just seems impossible to me. Will I be the only person wearing a mask when I move back?

I've had the big C three times, and the experience was pretty different each time. It sucks! And that's not to mention all the permanent (seemingly) effects it's had on me, though idk if it's bad enough to call it Long Covid.

I thought this was about cancer.

Anyway...no, most people don't wear masks anymore. But there are a few that still do and they dont get openly persecuted for it. At least not to their face.

definitely thought cancer

as for covid, an unconfirmed "once" in February of 2020, before it was "officially" in the U.S. Had all the scary symptoms (high fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of taste/smell). Tested negative for flu. I remember asking the doctor if it could be "that disease in China" and he laughed at me.

I can't fathom why else I wouldn't have gotten it again since if I didn't have some kind of immunity.

Once. Got while running in a half marathon in Portland a month ago, thereby ensuring I cancelled out any possible health benefits when it came to my lungs.

Zero

I've gotten all vaccine doses as soon as available, still mask whenever possible when I'm indoors, and very rarely do high risk activities like indoor dining.

I live in a very liberal area, but few people mask anymore (how many depends on the context). When I go to the store it's still 20-30%, but I went to two movies for the first time in about a year this past week and I was literally the only one in the theater masking both times.

1.5 times covid, 0 cancer so far but it's highly prevalent in my family history so it's just a matter of time

Tested positive for covid in may 2022, after two shots and a booster. Got something that was remarkably like covid in October of 2022, but tested negative every day.

yeah my first time was also in like very early march 2020 and Japan was NOT ready to accept it was in the country, so it was "just a flu"

with a 3 month long fever

First time I got COVID was on my birthday at the end of this past August. Haven't masked since, on account of my chances of getting it again that quick are low and have backed up getting my second booster until later this month. I see occasional maskers here, but not too often.

Once this September while on vacation with family. Was mild though.

I try to mask still but few at my office do, so I've gotten lax about it.

Once, back in June from household spread. Mild case though it did suck quite a bit for about a day and a half.

I still wear a mask but I feel like it's probably down to like 1 or 2% of people around here.

One confirmed case back in April. I've been constantly sick over the last like two months though and can't tell if it's more covid or just me working in a school where there are perpetually sick teenagers surrounding me on a daily basis.

My case was so mild though that during my two days off I put in 10 hour workdays of planning and marking, and then a month later caught a cold that was confirmed not covid that had me bedridden for half a week.

as a fellow teacher, the germ factories we teach sure doesn't make this any easier. Right now the teacher that sits next to me in the teachers room is out with covid as well has 1/3 of the other teachers and a bunch of students, too! Fun!

but yeah I used to have a super healthy immune system, very very rarely got sick at all. Since my first bout with covid in 2020 that has completely changed and I swear the days where I'm at 100% are the minority. I just get hit with colds or whatever else so much more often, and harder than before.

I'm not sure that I've ever had it since I didn't have any real breathing problems. There are a few people who still wear masks where I live, and the hospital system I use for healthcare requires them.

Oh that. Only once, this summer. I just got the 4th vax. This summer was about 6 months after I got my 3rd shot, so that made sense. In my area people haven't been masking since the first vax. Only if sick or recently sick. I've gone to plenty of crowded indoor and outdoor events too, usually with required vax or neg test, but sometimes self-screened.

I'm feeling that stress of needing to upend my life in 6 months to move across the world. It was easier moving from america to japan because I could just leave things behind with family. Here I need to sell/give away/ship everything I own!
