I wish this stuff happened outside of New York. I miss music shows and want to go again but have to weigh how safe I'll be with a mask

At this point with variants would this not be like wearing masks for the flu. Like 5 years later you think the logic about building a natural immunity to variants and strengthening gut bacteria would take over. Compromised breath has the ability to change your brain function Over long periods of time. (5 years of a mask has definitely limited the amount of oxygen in your brain) I understand making ppl feel safe and comfortable but this seems to be more about fear and lack of faith in nature’s own ability to balance. Here today gone tomorrow either way. 🕊️ At some point we gatta fight fear of illness with faith in something besides a mask. 🕊️ no hate jus dialogue
