People Who Wear Masks…

… shouldn’t chew gum. 
 

The tech drawing my blood today was. Made her look like horse with a feed bag.

May have to wear it to keep the job.  Not common here, even in hospital.  The only place I've worn one during this whole extravaganza was to get in to the hospital for routine medical care.

All I know is I made the mistake of popping an Altoids mint into my mouth and putting on a mask to go into a store only once.

[Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804]

people are still wearing masks?

[Eyesa Horg]

The hospital and Doctors office still require them here.

[Utah Bob #35998]

CDC said hospitals can stop except with at risk individuals.

Couldn’t care less about mask wearing.  I just think it shouldn’t be combined with gum chewing.

Also looks bad if you are receiving an award in front of the tv cameras. Saw that last night.

Sorry, I came on too strong. It's enough to say that I wear a mask when I am going to be in close proximity, in a closed area with people I don't know. I need to do this.

I still wear one into stores, banks, MD offices, etc., because my wife has impaired immunity and I surely don't want to expose her to Covid or it's variants, which are still prevalent and are still killing susceptible people in pretty big numbers.   

 

I kind of enjoy not having to shave, and I do think I've gotten some protection. (No, neither me nor my wife have not caught Covid. )

 

But my mask is the ugly white N95 rather than an aesthetic ear- hooked consumer variety with unknown protection 

level.   There is a difference.

 

I'm lucky not having good looks to fret over.

Ugh, this thread is turning into more pontificating about masks. Maybe we need a dead horse image instead of one with a feed bag. 

Now back to our regular, lighter programming…

[Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770]

My wife is a CNA at a local Nursing Home. When they have Covid residents, she has to wear a mask, face-shield, gown, and gloves. She brought it home for Labor Day. Wear mask if they make you feel better, but....

[Rip Snorter]

Poor dear!

[J-BAR #18287]

I re-use the same mask I have had for the past 8 months, when I am required to use one(monthly lab tests).  I’m going to collect every Covid virus in the world in that fabric, then I’m going to burn it and get a Nobel Prize.

My guess is she looks like a horse without the mask. Maybe she thinks wearing a mask will help hide her horse face?

The only time I've worn a mask during this extravaganza, is going to the Medical center for routine care.  Once past the "perimeter" most of the Docs and staff aren't wearing them.  Of course Montana is a Free State!  Everyone I know who has got it has had the vax.

Do you know why she was wearing it??? My girlfriend has had most of her immune system wiped out trying to fight cancer. Her health/life is at risk if she gets COVID, so she wears a mask. And so do I, to help keep her safe until her treatment is over and she is in remission. If you don't want to wear a mask, then don't, I support and respect your right to make that choice for yourself. But don't your dare make fun of others who do wear a mask, because you have NO IDEA why they are wearing one.

[Rip Snorter]

Sorry for that! The exception doesn't prove the rule.  At gunpoint, I'd try to beat the drop before I took the vax.

Where do you get the idea I’m questioning anyone’s decision to wear a mask or making fun of those who do?

 

I’m sorry for your girlfriend’s plight. I’ve been there (still am there) done that and bought the t-shirt. Please don’t lecture me. 
 

No need for name calling either. Ever.
