My teammates and I are considered essential workers at our day jobs. Like many others who are tasked with working during these dangerous times, we have learned how to adapt and stay healthy even though the risk of exposure to COVID-19 is high in our environment. One of the most asked questions I get is, "How can you wear a mask for eight hours a day?"
I really don't think about the mask. It's like snorkeling. The snorkel is your tool to allow you easy underwater exploration. The mask is your filter to keep you safe as well as the people around you if you happen to be asymptomatic. The more you wear your mask, the easier it gets.
Living in a COVID-19 world is like looking out to the sea and seeing large sets of waves approaching. The first wave wreaked havoc around the world. In my opinion, the second and third waves on the horizon could be more dangerous because there is a false sense of security showing up and many are refraining from wearing masks because they are beginning to feel safe again after surviving the first wave.
Please do everything in your power to stay safe. This is not a test. The sirens are going off. Be vigilant. Have a great day.
