Cathie Karas, from Long Island, New York, who loves baking, is a stay-at-home mom of 3. She homeschools her two youngest children, in order for them to stay safe. She protects her family by utilizing KN95 or N95 masks indoors.
“I saw how bad COVID was back in 2020 when articles became available. After hearing about Long COVID, I knew it was worth avoiding this virus. Then, in 2021, I got very sick. And I knew then, I did not want that to happen to my kids. I strongly believe masks should be required in healthcare settings. And ventilation should be improved in all schools.”
Cathie advocates for the layered approach in mitigation by posting on Instagram and Twitter.
