Plea to people going to #FOSDEM: please wear a mask. The rooms at the ULB campus are very badly ventilated, and during FOSDEM they are often filled over capacity, exacerbating the issue. Additionally, Belgium is in the middle of flu season. So please just put on a mask, it's better for you and it's better for others.

in reply to crab • • •Good advice! There are tons of people around me who got sick with flu! Some schools have up to 1/3rd (!) of sick teachers/students.
I didn't get sick. I got vaccinated :)

in reply to Pietervdvn • • •* tbf, you can still get sick.
Vaccination makes it so that even if you do get sick, you won't end up in the hospital.
Vaccination doesn't technically make it so you're super less likely to get covid.
Btw, if you need some comfy ffp2 masks, just ask. I should have a couple with me, genuine M3 aura's that I can't wear anyway because turns out they don't work for large faces like mine
