I probably wouldn’t wear a mask either but my husband has lung cancer and there’s too many Karens so I do it just to keep the peace.
I know C19 is real because I lost an aunt to it-she was in a home-but I do believe the 24/7 fear porn is making people lose their minds in addition to ruined lives, loss of jobs and all of it.
Taking some precautions is prudent but I think people are really overdoing it. I read somewhere that people sprayed alcohol on their ballots to disinfect them and messed them up. I’m not about to Lysol everything that comes into the house even the mail. I’ll wash my hands after handling it and wipe off the counter before I prep food if groceries and mail were on it but people are just being ridiculous about it sometimes.
My brother is really paranoid but I don’t blame him because he does Uber Eats and Instacart and a bunch of stuff like that where he’s out and about all the time. But people who are staying home and not seeing anybody can probably relax a little bit...
Thanks for the response-Absolutely understand that choice. C19 is real, and so are many other things that cause death - particularly in the elderly and people in fragile health. Everyone should be considerate of that and avoid exposing others when they know they are sick or might be sick.
The regular flu put my Dad in the hospital several times after his stroke. I’m pretty sure he caught it from the home health care workers. Cause it’s just the flu or just a cold so permeates the work place, that people weren’t free to stay home.
You expressed my thoughts on it well - over-reaction and over doing. In your case, I’m sure the reduced stress on you and especially hubby by simply wearing a mask is worth it.
Since my hubby and I feel the same way about it. It’s not an issue with us. Short shopping trips and distancing but no masks is our motto. Medical options should be an individual choice and not a mandate from Politicians.
Every time I hear that quip follow the Science—I think well it’s not real Science-it’s either Political Science or Junk Science or maybe both. :)
