A word used a lot here as a humorous stand in for colds etc - https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/lurgy

I wish wearing masks on public transport remained normalised

[–] Atonable8938@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

It still can be. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from wearing one. I still do on occasion.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

Yeah but the main benefit is everyone else wearing them to prevent the spread in the first place.

I think they're saying they wish other people would wear them when they're sick, as most masks are a lot better at blocking outgoing viruses than incoming ones

They wouldn't look cool though.
