Q: I have been a diligent mask wearer and hand washer throughout 2020 why am I crook?

At the time of writing, I have had a cold for about 2 weeks with coughing and runny nose. Temperature checks at my gate are normal.

My question is: if masks are the panacea for the coof why am I crook?

I think masks are more to stop you transmitting the covid than to stop you catching it, although apparantly they do provide some protection for you. You can also catch it through your eyes if it's in the air.

I can imagine the joys of coughing and sneezing into your mask while you are wearing it - so healthy for you breathing that in.
A cough/sneeze is the normal/healthy way your body expells particles from your body.

You have a cold, nothing more or less.

you do not have the plague.

In fact becasue you have a cold, the chances of you 'catching and transmitting 'Covid' are next to nothing' (from a doctor friend)

The common cold is the same family of viruses as 'COVID' 
You are a normal person with normal health.

 

I can not understand why people expect to be 100% well 100% of the time.

That is not how nature works, and we are all part of nature. TBH it is laughable how terrified people have become while experiencing normal bodily functions. We will be all made to feel afraid for even breathing soon.

Yes, it's winter, I have a cold. That's it but I am getting some sideways looks as I cough, sneeze and splutter about.

It is pretty gross coughing and sneezing with a mask on. I've taken to carrying a couple of spares for when things get messy.

A good sneeze just isn't as satisfying with a mask on. The alternative would freak people out. I am nothing if not harmonious ;-D

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
