Hope you feel better soon... It's that time of year...
imagine how small of a human you must be to attack someone trying to prevent themselves from getting sick.
One could instead see "oh here is someone who is triggered by medical facts. I'm going to stop following them."
There is nothing wrong with wearing a mask. I was literally wearing one today. I think what people dislike is being forced to wear it.
Would do the same - take care of yourself and feel better soon!
It’s wild to me that masks got looped into the culture war stuff. People around the world have worn masks in public - for various reasons - for decades. When urban pollution is high, or there’s a lot of respiratory nastiness in circulation, especially in crowded places, it’s such an easy way to reduce what you breathe in.
The whole Covid-era “masks don’t work” thing was nonsense. Nothing’s perfect, but if masks didn’t help reduce stuff you don’t want to breathe in, then doctors and dentists wouldn’t wear them.
Most “behavioral mandates” are obviously problematic (although I think masks fall more along the lines of stoplights and seatbelts, and are not akin to vax mandates or fois gras farms, which is how many people reacted).
And if you’re dealing with a health condition that makes you more susceptible to stuff, that’s a great reason to protect yourself.
Respect 🤜🤛
Hope you get better soon Roya.🫂
Then don't be around people. You got a solid excuse.
The mask is just gonna complicate things.
Yeah. People like to be on their team regardless of nuance. When it came up that I’d be skipping Christmas with the family if I had the sniffles during the pandemic it was because I was scared about covid and not because a family member has almost no immune system and has to worry about dying if she gets a cold.
