The threat of the virus isn’t over, but some of us have been vaccinated three times and are still wearing masks in public.
My grandparents are finally accompanying me on short shopping trips.
We simply avoid overly crowded spaces while maintaining a strict mask policy. I don’t get it; we’re all used to wearing all of this clothing everyday to hide our naked bodies, but we can’t add one more piece of apparel? Instead of hiding our shame, N-95 masks protect both the wearer and the person exposed to them. They’re available in the stores in my area, but yet no one seems to be buying them even if they can afford the expense. I have a friend of mine who has a rare case of the illness being referred to as “long COVID.” He caught it at the end of 2020 and is still experiencing severe symptoms that have barely subsided in the year since. Sadly, he caught it before he was eligible to get a vaccine, but he’s slowly improving. I don’t sequester myself at home as long as I am as careful as I possibly can be. I’ve noticed while I’ve been out lately that many stores are selling hemp products in varying administration or consumption methods. The CBD topicals like bath bombs, CBD creams and salves, and skin patches are among some of the most popular CBD and hemp products. There are also CBD capsules and CBD drinks and gummies. I still haven’t tried half of these CBD products in my years of using hemp for chronic anxiety.
