Content Warning: in this episode we talk about the personal choices we make around mask wearing and the COVID-19 pandemic. Sustainable Concordia and CJLO strongly advise that you wear medical masks when in crowded public places, and medical masks are required (and provided) at Concordia. Getting covid is not inevitable, the government just wants you to think that so that you keep going to work!!!!
