Don’t you find it amusing and frustrating, at this point, that there are still so many in hysterics over this. Can it be bad for some folks...the ones with one foot in the grave....? Yup.
But, then again, damn near every employee of every grocery store, Lowes, Home Depot, ACE Hardware, Academy Sports, Dick’s, Governor Newsome’s winery, and a whole host of other “essential” businesses should be dead and buried.
Yeah, all the retail workers around here wear masks but pull them down a LOT. Lots of homemade masks, bandanas, useless surgical masks made in in china. I’ve seen the same girls working at the grocery store here the whole time and I don’t think any of them have been missing for two weeks because they had to quarantine at home. Saw a girl at Casey’s convenience store in the kitchen with her mask pulled down below her nose and mouth. Not the first time I’ve seen that.
My wife works at a nursing home and covid has been brought in twice by employees. They did have two residents die but my wife said, pfft, they were ... rough to begin with. She’s a very caring person and often cries when a resident dies so if she said that, they were already gone really.
So there’s two out of the county’s 35 total. Flu would have killed them or within this past year+, one of their other ailments would have. Sad but that’s the way it is. People that are very unhealthy tend to die.
Wife gets hugs and kisses from us all the time. Takes no special precautions outside of work. Wears the same scrubs for a couple of days in a row. We should have had it. Then again, we haven’t been sick in 4-5 years. No colds, no flus. We had them all in the first 4-5 years she worked there because she brought them all home, then it just stopped.
Last few days, my stomach/GI system has been messed up. Getting better as of today though. Was it covid? Could have been but if that’s all it is, great. Wife tested negative for COVID last night at work. We’ll see what her next test says because if one of us has it, the other will get it. She gets tested every week. Might have been something I ate but that usually only lasts a day or two.
The flu disappeared though, that’s nice. LOL.
Gawd, all the frightful things we’ve heard. Stays on surfaces for days. Travels through duct work. Lingers in the air for hours. COVID farts can go 25 feet.
Ill fitting and homemade masks? That’s fine.
Wearing a mask over a full beard? That’s fine.
Riots and protests? fine
Trump rally? Super Spreader Event.
You going to a restaurant and not wearing a mask? NO
Dem politicians being photographed at a restaurant with no mask? Fine
Would have made a heck of a dystopian movie.
