I am the only one of my coworkers wearing a mask. Half of the Latino student population is absent (Latino parents make up a really disproportionate number of calls from parents concerned about Covid). I’ve seen a couple kids wear them in and take them off once they realized they were the only one.

Welcome to the new normal

    They ended at my school yesterday. My roommate stopped wearing his whenever he hangs out with people. All this has done is raise my anxiety more when I hear him or anyone else someone sniffle or cough.

        you Idk if it's too late to change roommates, since we were paired before this semester. I'll at least ask him politely if he could, and if he still doesn't see if I can change roommates.

          If you can't switch, this could help? Low cost but very effective DIY air filter. Wearing a mask in your living space isn't practical, but this could passively reduce the risk somewhat - and at the very least minimize the viral load you receive if (when) he does get infected.
