Mask After the Pandemic<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There&#8217;s finally some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.\u00a0 But before you throw out your supply of face masks, listen up.\u00a0 Here are four times you might still want to wear a mask even after the pandemic ends . . .<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If you&#8217;re sick during flu season.\u00a0 Face masks don&#8217;t just protect us from COVID, they help stop the spread of other respiratory viruses like the flu.\u00a0 And if you get sick, wearing a mask is one way you can help protect those around you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When you&#8217;re in crowded, indoor spaces.\u00a0 Being in a crowd, indoors, with poor ventilation is one of the fastest ways the coronavirus spreads. \u00a0And even after COVID-19, we can still catch infections like the flu and the common cold whenever we&#8217;re in crowded indoor spaces.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When there are new variants or when your immunity is lower.\u00a0 COVID-19 might never fully go away . . . it could continue to mutate like the seasonal flu does every year.\u00a0 So if you want some protection before the booster vaccines come out, masking up might be the way to go.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> While traveling.\u00a0 Infections and vaccination rates can vary between different parts of the U.S. and between countries.\u00a0 So until we reach herd immunity, it&#8217;s probably a good idea to wear a mask when traveling to a higher-risk area.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>_______________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>FOUR RANDOM FACTS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span
