Remember, you don't wear a mask to protect yourself, you do it to protect others. The mask doesn't do much to protect you, but it does a lot to keep your shit from spreading.

So you could have COVID, be pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic but be spreading it everywhere. This is one the reasons it was able to spread so quickly in the past, if I feel fine, don't think I am sick, then I see no reason to take any measures, like wearing a mask.

Good luck, my wife finally got her interview scheduled, in 2023, 4 years after applying.

First, most areas that are walking distance to the subway are generally safe, and clean. So what comes down to is where you work that will decide the best spot to live.

There are plenty of great places for under $2700, stop looking at the newly built "luxury" places. Check /r/bostonhousing

It is. Save more money and get roommates if you want, or give up on the 40 min commute idea to save more. But at your salary you will be fine.
