Tell a Secret

            I think this is an interesting crowd shot because of the person with a mask on the right.  In the pits last year at Pitchfork Music Festival, photographers were asked to wear masks, which makes a great deal of sense both for our own safety and the safety of the performers.  Some of the photographers didn't take this very seriously, especially as the festival was outside, and there were a few cases of Covid I heard about afterwards.  

I'm still not sure how I got Covid later on when I was very careful traveling, though when most people decide to stop following basic precautions, we are all more at risk. In any case, for me Covid lasted 17 days and I had complications because I'm anemic.  Even though I went on Paxlovid right away, I have had more heart arrhythmias since August when I was sick.  I realize the CDC wants to claim this is all over but when they host a conference and over 30 of their staffers test positive because of it, this tells you their judgement is not to be trusted.  I don't love masking in the hot summer sunshine, either, but my health is not worth the risk so even if it is not required this year, I will most likely still be wearing one or two masks whenever I am near a crowd.
