Mask up whenever going to public spaces. The government will not be taking any precautions during the next pandemic, and it seems like there is another pandemic right around the corner.

I'm not aware of any government taking precautions against Covid (or the next pandemic).

If I knew one, I'd consider moving.

Must likely they're talking about the u.s.a they're an administration that doesn't seem to care about science. Also rfk jr potential head of the u.s.a health services is an anti Vaxer

Yeah I know it's almost like it works. You'll need an N95 or KN95 mask or better.
