For those keen to protect themselves and the ones they love from Covid. This is a risk guide produced by the University of California, which I think is excellent, to help people assess risk for themselves. Specifically, ‘should I keep wearing a mask’? Here’s how I apply it to my situation. I work in Bathurst, where Covid cases are currently more than 100 cases/100K/day. So more than 10 times the safer limit the UCSF suggests. That alone would make me keep my mask on. But I also have a child not fully vaccinated. Those two together mean I’ll be wearing a mask and taking other precautions for a long time yet.
