BTW, I'm still looking for branded masks. When they come out with them, remember who had the idea first.

I only wear a mask in the bathroom....and it's not for coronavirus protection
Yes. I am a politician. So I always assume the avatar.

Her co-worker standing next to her is wearing her mask--around one ear, the rest of it hanging down.
I wear a standard surgical mask while walking through our offices. I do not wear one in my vehicle. I wear on when walking on sidewalks or in public places..until I order food and drink and then I remove it.
Yes, I wear a mask when in a restaurant or in a grocery store. My daughter bought us some masks that have a pocket on the inside where you can put a cloth of some sort or a piece of paper towel to augment the cloth of the mask.
I really believe it doesn't matter whether you wear one or not, but since I retired I just want to be left alone and don't want to have to bitch slap some moron for yelling at me because I don't have a mask on while I'm shopping in Publix or Winn-Dixie or wherever.
Last reply August of 2020. Masks have become something for rioters to hide behind. I hate that.
My brother's in a hospital in Louisville right now with covid. He has a different but even more dire prior health condition reason to fear covid, and now he's in ICU. He should not have been disparaged for wearing a mask, or suspected of being antifa, etc.
I wear an N95 on the plane and in the airport. If I don't, I get sick a day after getting home. Go to a UK basketball game in Atlanta or Texas A&M? Covid. Concert in Bozeman? Covid.
So I don't need a shot it seems, my immune system won't respond. John has one lung.
The discussion back then revolved around health. Somehow I'd like to get it back to that.
5 yrs later and I still laugh.Quote:

But you are correct. Masks have become synonymous with rioters and antagonists. Too bad it isn't seen as cultural appropriation
I am so sorry bigsky.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.
Thanks Pappy. His cousin decided and I confirmed to take him off the ventilator. He did not have an Advanced Directive and I guess it might prompt me to write one. Many things got him there, but covid>pneumonia was the last straw.
Sorry to hear this.
I really had hoped the Japanese approach would take hold here. If you're sick or just feel sick, wear a mask to stop the spread. Not defensive, but offense where you don't want to impact others. With the American view and self-focus we obviously failed mightily.

But I think there's always been that jerk who sneezes directly into the Golden Corral buffet bar. I brought back the thread, here we are five year's older, to remind us the killer is still culling us, and people who wear masks may just be acting rationally. I do at times for both reasons, the 2nd you rightly remind us of.
Count me in the group the is sorry to hear.Quote:
