It's actually very cool that the thing that can help is relatively cheap, is easy to carry, and in general is not a big deal. It's not like we have to walk around in a suit or armor or with a bucket on our head.

This is all just a little PSA in case you, like so many of us, let the mask thing slide here and there because the powers that be gave up a long time ago and we've all been left to become epidemiologists. You'll never bee sorry you wore a mask. You can be very sorry you didn't.

I was the masker on the plane. The subway. The store. Masks work. And I abut to order a spiffing new box of my favorite new style of N95, because even when I get over this I AM GOING TO WEAR A MASK BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT IT AGAIN. Nor do I want anyone else to get it.

Masks protected me through so many things. I live in NYC and lived here while COVID burned through the city and did not get it. The key was...

Masks protected me through so many things. I live in NYC and lived here while COVID burned through the city and did not get it. The key was masking, not going out, and if I did, see rule one.

This thing has thrown me around the room for two weeks and the case I had was MILD. Do yourself a favor if you haven't had the pleasure of having COVID: be the mask person.

It didn't care that I was doing my job. It got me. I thought since I'd had five shots that I'd test positive and feel a bit weird for a few days. It was way more than that.

As I turn back into myself, one of my realizations about having COVID was how surprised I was. I avoided it for three years. I got it basically as soon as I dropped my guard. I mean, I was doing book events as part of what we'll smilingly call my job, but I did not wear a mask.

COVID, day 15, as symptoms recede and I try to put a positive spin on things.

Feels pretty grim to have the HarperCollins label on my books with this guy in charge. (And yes, @hcpunion@twitter.com is still on strike trying to get a tiny wage increase in order to live.)

Felt *knocks wood* less sick today, but a wave of physical tiredness just hit and it is WILD. Feels like I am working against gravity. Am I moving to the Next Level?

I'm not putting on the "I don't know about football" thing. I genuinely don't know and have had a fever for a week so I don't know much of anything at all. Whatever you tell me, I will believe.

I swear that as soon as I get over COVID I going to find @rianjohnson@twitter.com's lab where he makes his creations. I'll get in through the vents. I will go, and there I shall live, in the mystery mansion.

COVID, day 14. Things are...maybe improving? I may be turning back into a person? A new, better person?

COVID really does make you foggy. I keep forgetting what I'm doing. I went to microwave Dex's food the other day and didn't even notice that the microwave had other things in it and just microwaved everything.
