Masked Man side comment:
Ananda Lewis will be Sadly missed. Anyone in the music Dj/Vj business is friend to the music loving Masked Man

This hits home for us all and me as well...
My mother was a victim of cancer who has currently been cleared of cancer by doctors.

Because of the pandemic, the contagiousness of covid, the risks and repercussions of catching covid and our local healthcare's inability to protect us from airborne illness by masking its patients and the reluctance  of staff to mask and take other precautions  my immunocompromised loved one and I have had a challenging time attending all the healthcare facilities for regular screenings and testing recommended  for cancer so this is a fearful fate that my loved one also could fall victim to.

It is not an easy thing weighing the odds of either exposing my elderly immunocompromised loved one to airborne illnesses during waves of covid infections
In a predominately maskless doctors office full of individuals seeking various diagnosis and medical treatment and unsanitary waiting rooms and seats.. does one risk all that aforementioned  for a 79 years elderly immunocompromised loved one to simply get screened regularly for cancer? Tough decisions in tough times.

Glad to see studies like this for the sake of the children's wellbeing.

It never made any sense of what I gather are  assumptions and grave misconceptions  from many people that children are somehow 'tough' or are somehow more resilient to novel diseases like covid. We still have more to learn about covid and more years down the line to prove whether even more long term damage comes from covid such as what it does to the immune system 7 years after having caught it.
People have been and still are underestimating covid's and long covid's long term repercussions.

Obviously this study helps communicate how serious a problem we still have on our hands when it comes to covid not to mention other illnesses which might prove more detrimental and damaging to those who previously had covid. It's appearing in many studies as if other illnesses affect those more harmfully that have had covid in their pasts as if covid has weakened them for more problems.

Bless these poor children... I pray may these studies humble people and May people learn from these studies how to treat and care for one another more sensibly. 

Its weird ..people pretty much assume cigarettes are more harmful to little children so what is it with people that think diseases are less harmful to a small vulnerable growing body!? I often think people just want to believe covid is like a 'cold' especially after they catch covid... they just wanna pretend its a cold so they can forgive themselves for catching and giving it and so they can relieve themselves of worry and responsibility. Its denial that they have a disease now and they just hope to their maker its just a cold... I think that's what's going on but who knows.

Regardless Covid is a disease of different nature than a common cold and covid is bad all around for all age groups and whenever ya have covid you also stand to have long covid. Long covid might prove asymptomatic for awhile then pop up with a vengeance... we just don't know because four or five years is a relatively short time to know everything about a novel disease which  may prove itself to be a long term disease over the years.

It's just wise never to presume anything that hasn't been studied or around for many  many years. We ,may discover something we will have to term "extra long covid" that occur in the 7-10 year period after having first contracted covid. Hopefully that won't be the case but things are only truly proven over the course or test of time. You never know.

Masked man's caveat to sick performers when seeking medical treatment and warning to doctors and nurses about hosting gatherings for the sick...

While we commend you for calling off and staying home due to illness musician, and regular people often seek medical care in public.. in public at healthcare facilities.. we must make these places safer.

We commend people who are ill for staying at home... next step in civilization is teach doctors and nurses to make the places where sick people gather to seek medical attention safer for all!

(Ya don't take all your sick animals that aren't even diagnosed yet and put them together without any precautions such as masking in a waiting room and if you are sick ya don't go maskless to gather in a sick gathering.. while seeking medical treatment take precautions! Doctors and nurses should 'orchestrate' this(... its just plum crazy and downright unscientific to the Masked Man to know there's sick unmasked  undiagnosed people in pain in these waiting rooms.. Being the Masked Man, I haven't caught any airborne disease or illnesses in five years since masking and taking other precautions)

Hozier cancels tour dates over illness after “struggling” through Governors Ball.

https://www.nme.com/news/music/hozier-cancels-tour-dates-over-illness-after-struggling-through-governors-ball-3869026

tsk tsk I think I'll skip paying tribute to this particular artist .. I don't even care for the name of the event: "governor's ball"!? Just the name of this event makes me cringe. They should cancel the entire event.

Today I have to to take loved one for doctor appointment to healthcare facility that might or might not mask for me upon request for their 79 year old patient whom is my loved one
... I wish the governor would mandate masking at healthcare facilities instead of holding the governor's ball or condoning such an event that is affiliated with someone who is supoussed to hold high office and represent governing of people. What a ridiculous name "governor's ball". I protest the name of this event. Its not very professional to affiliate governor or the name governor with partying.

Imagine if this singer goes to the doctor's office maskless or that. doctor's office doesn't make their patients like him mask and that's what I face this morning. Pure terror for me. I take my loved one in to place where sick people are. This is one of the hardest things in my life. I shouldn't have to rely on luck or pray but  I pray at least one-way masking works for my loved on's sake around what I consider monsters and monstrous lack of prevention at healthcare facilities where sick people supposedly get treated.

That's the one thing they don't talk about.. where the sick people go and that includes these performers.. they go to healthcare when they are sick to get diagnosis.

I am caregiver of my loved one. Like last doctor's visit, I will simply get between the maskless  with my safety mask/respirator on and Say "we prefer you wear mask for my loved one" snd if they don't I'll have to pull her out of there. That's all I can do out of clear conscience and reason me being of sound mind and body and understanding how airborne illnesses are passed.

UPDATE: okay we are back home.. yeah it was tough,, the waiting room is bad because ya know there's someone coughing a bit in the corner and the chairs are probably dirty.. Lucky for us it was nothing but paperwork for receptionist this time around... the first receptionist wore a mask because we were and she knew in advance from phone call we informed.. but second nurse handling paperwork I reminded  her twice in a real quiet voice we preferred her to wear a mask. There was a sign on receptionist window said masks should be worn around and for immunocompromised or people with respiratory problems so I pointed to that. Still its murder in the waiting room for sure. Super hard to protect people. Super hard to be a protector.

The Masked Man
P.S.

I can't even tell you how crazy people appear to me the Masked Man who hasn't so much as caught a cold much less covid in five years because I mask to hear someone stifling their coughs in the corner... I can hear their pain ..God wear mask! That's plum crazy to a healthy masked man to know there's a sick unmasked person across the room after Ive got a clean slate for five years of no airborne illness and Ive got a 79 year old loved one who is also masked with me!

I hosed down and sprayed my masked loved one's hands and clothes with my rubbing alcohol a to to kill germs as well  at office..I sprayed  the waiting room chair a lot with rubbing alcohol.. then we threw clothes in wash taking mask off last and took shower when getting home
