I need this to scare some people.

You can still contract the virus while wearing a mask. Apparently you can contract the virus particles through your eyes.

Masks are mostly to help other people, and less about helping yourself. @jwehl 's pee analogy applies here.

Yes, but just because you don't FEEL sick, doesn't mean you're not carrying COVID asymptomatically. You could still pass it along to anyone, including people who may have underlying conditions (like lung cancer) that put them at high risk. You would also have to stay home when you have the slightest headache, you're the slightest bit tired than normal, etc, because those are all technically symptoms of COVID.

I know. I’ve had covid.

The mask isn't to stop you from getting the virus, it's to protect everyone else from getting it from you.

colors are confusing. I’ve always thought Indigo was a shade of purple and that’s why I named my LO a Purplish name. It could be any of them really.

Indigo is a color that is between violet and blue -- it's the innermost color on a rainbow's curve (an actual rainbow -- with seven colors).

Particles still make it through masks, they lessen them, but it's not a foolproof prevention.

So why don't you wear a mask? You should know, better than anyone, that you can easily contract COVID.

Indeed. It is not a color on a rainboe however. A rainboe only has six colors. It's the superior rainbow.

I agree with that.

Correction -- it's the second-innermost color. Violet is the one on the edge. Reading from the top down, the bottom is violet, and the second one up is indigo.
Ooopies.
