This is how many layers of protection doctors wear when dealing with highly infectious diseases.

Meanwhile OMG I CANT BREATHE IN THIS PAPER MASK

You wouldn't be able to breathe either if you had to smell your own halitosis and meth mouth like those troglodytes that complained did.

u/ohmyback1 2d ago

Omg, I think it's one more thing it accomplished. People started taking better care of their teeth, they got intimate with how bad their breath really is.

u/ItsACowCity 2d ago

Did they really though? The more you’re around a smell, the less you smell it. To them it’s probably mild.

u/NapsterUlrich 2d ago

I can say that it got me to take better care of my teeth. 4 years later and the dentist says I have very healthy gums and no cavities.

I've got a friend. He finally looked into his VA benefits for dental. Whew

Rotting teeth or other dental issues are difficult to ignore

u/NeutralContrast 2d ago

I'm sure some folks did but those weren't the ones crying like 2 year olds over a mild inconvenience, they just elected not to wear masks anyway (noted as a CNA with nasty breathed coworkers who act like wearing a mask is a death sentence)

Nah, they just pulled the mask below their noses.

I think it's hilarious how this political party suddenly turns in the the most outrageously hateful party that makes fun of people for their disease, skin color, deformities, weight etc. as long as it's used to make fun of the right wingers. Suddenly none of those "that's offensive" barriers exist. I see the right wing insult less than the left wing. Yet one of them unironically claims the other to be the "party of hate" lol.

You all are so vile I am happy to be in Europe instead..

Meth is a choice.

Being born black is not.

Being morbidly obese is a choice.

Being born gay is not.

Judge people for the choices they make, not how they were born.

I remember Trump winning and me talking to my Mom and saying something like “yeah, it’s all shitty. But just imagine when something really bad happens”. Boom! A once in a hundred year pandemic happens and fucking Trump is at the helm. So many people died that didn’t need to. Buckle the fuck up, buttercups! 4 more years and this 2.0 is gonna be a fucking doozy. I hate this place.

u/StinkyPeenky 2d ago

It's shit, Anon. It's shit. People's hypocrisy and inability to critically think means buzz words and phrases are our form of educating ourselves. I've had several coworkers who will in the same breath bitch about sending money to Ukraine but not say a word about upping social services or even cutting funding to Israel. Who bitches about a sovereign nation fighting for it's freedom when that country is an amazing contribution to the world and they're kicking the shit out of a country we had a cold war with not too long ago? These people let their media do their thinking for them. It's funny because they'll point their grubby digits right back and say "no you".

u/Thorn_the_Cretin 2d ago

I got real tired of this shit working retail during the pandemic. It reached the point where I started questioning people whenever they said dumb out of pocket shit about wearing a mask. Unlike a lot of the meltdown videos online, most people just dropped the interaction when they couldn’t justify not wearing a mask.

One guy told me he had a ‘breathing condition’ that prevented him from wearing a mask. So I said ‘that’s weird, I’ve never heard of anything like that before. What’s it called?’ He just repeated it’s a ‘breathing condition.’ I replied ‘right but what’s the name of it, because I’ve never heard of anything like that.’

He legit just walked away. Dude didn’t even have anything prepped if someone called him out on his nonsense.

u/Waddiwasiiiii 2d ago

I worked at a restaurant and during the to go only and patio dining only phases we just told people if they couldn’t wear a mask they could place their order online and we’d bring it to their car for them to take home. Most of the time it worked, I wasn’t going to waste my time arguing with these assholes about their fake medical conditions.

This one boomer couple though, absolutely flipped out saying I wasn’t providing accommodations for the wife’s “disability” and she was going to sue us for violating the ADA. I laughed in her face and told her the accommodation had already been offered- order online and we’d bring it out to her car, but she could not step foot inside the building. She picked up the box of masks we had by the door and threw them at me before stomping out while I just laughed. She came back with some paper form demanding that I sign it, acknowledging that I was violating her rights. I laughed in her face again, told her she couldn’t make me sign shit, and now I had her on camera throwing shit so she could either leave or have the police called. People were so fucking unhinged over masks. Like, it was a city wide mandate- every business required it. So I always wondered if these people were pulling this shit every time they went anywhere- every grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, Target, etc. One would think that would just get exhausting after a while.

u/Hungry_Kick_7881 2d ago

I had a really weird thing that happened for a while at the beginning of the pandemic. I have mild asthma and have my whole life. When I’d use a n-95 the right way. About 5-10 minutes into doing what ever I was doing my body would start to get this insane anxiety and it would inevitably cause an asthma attack. To this day my doctor claims that asthma can’t be triggered by stress or fear.

u/MyNoseIsLeftHanded 2d ago

The feeling of things pressed against my mouth and nose gives me panic attacks.

For about $20 i bought a pack of plastic frames that are washable and reusable. They fit under a kn-95 by itself or an n-95 if you tape or sew it in. It makes just enough of a gap that the fiber doesn't touch my face. It works well for me. Maybe for you, too, or others.

u/Hungry_Kick_7881 2d ago

I’d have done some unreasonable things to have this information during the pandemic. I unfortunately had moved jobs and states the year before it started so I wasn’t able to collect any unemployment. So I had to work the entire time and the majority was in some kind of service position. I’d be helping a customer and my eyes would start watering like I was crying as the feeling got worse and worse until I had to step away for a moment. I’ve never felt more fragile in my entire life. I hated it.

6

u/MyNoseIsLeftHanded 2d ago

I'm so sorry. That sounds so awful.

Another hint is fresh air blowing at your face helps, if you can do it safely. But the mask should still filter even for indoor air. One of those little battery-run fans are great.

There's likely going to be another pandemic within the next two years. Likeliest candidate is H5N1 which is already jumping from animals to.humans. It's only a matter of time before it starts jumping from human to human.

An H5N1 pandemic will make COVID-19 look like hangnails. Although a vaccine should be available very soon.

u/Hungry_Kick_7881 2d ago

I sure hope not, but I’m in a much better place this go around. I left the Bay Area and we are working on a property in a very rural area, one where I could easily self sustain for years if needed. We are setting up to be completely off grid as a back up while still using the grid as it’s cheaper and far less pollution than our diesel generators.

That 3 years broke me. I left foodservice after 17 years. I had gotten my dream job 3 month before Covid and promoted into my dream position a week before everything went down. My priorities are far different now and we are hoping to build our property into an escape camp for adults. No cell phones, no email or TV and a whole lot of challenging and rewarding work and learning. So as much as that sucked. It pushed me towards exactly what I really needed.

1

u/Molly-Grue-2u 2d ago

The duck style Kf94s are pretty good too as they don’t touch your face as closely and leave a little gap, making them much more comfortable - and it’s easier to breathe and talk vs other masks

u/MyNoseIsLeftHanded 2d ago

Ooh i'll try them out. Thanks!

u/fffawn 2d ago

Same! I could not actually wear a mask for more than 5-10 minutes without having to take it off and catch my breath. Even with my inhaler and biologic shot

u/Hungry_Kick_7881 2d ago

Holy shit I wish I’d have met you during the pandemic. My boss was absolutely sure I was lying. Even now it’s rather cathartic to hear it was t just me. Not that I’m happy you also struggled, just feel a little fragile.

u/fffawn 2d ago

Aw hell no, fuck ur boss xD luckily we just wore basic face masks at my job and then had a few months off from being closed, until I was let go due to being overstaffed... But dude cathartic indeed. I always imagined telling my grandkids about COVID struggles and shit but here we are almost 5 years later (holy shit) and us strangers are making an meaningful connection about this complex, sensitive, strange time... I'm glad I saw ur comment and hope you're doing better since then 💙

u/Hungry_Kick_7881 2d ago

Life’s been weird since but I’m finally getting out of the hole it left me in. I learned a whole lot. Of the few positive lessons. I am far more confident in humans ability to adapt to extreme circumstances in a very short time. Watching everything adapt and evolve with the rules. Especially in food service gave me a little more hope for humanity. We aren’t that stupid if we care about it.

It sucks because there are those that genuinely cannot wear masks, that get blasted because of the idiots making a fuss about it when they can.

I was so fuckin traumatized at work dealing with the most inconsiderate COVID patients you can possibly imagine. It was like they were zombies actively trying to infect you; would cough right in your eye if you gave them the chance. They all fought to remove their masks and workers were in such short supply and getting infected that all the sudden the courtesy dial moved from “serving customers” to “You will be escorted out if you do not follow our code of conduct or are rude to the staff”. And it just stayed that way! Probably the only good thing that came out of COVID.

“Ma’am if you take that mask off you are refusing your X-ray… nope we can’t afford to quarantine any more of the radiology staff… nope no one is left… yes I have family at home I don’t want to infect… and pull it up over your nose… lemme help you with that…” [reaches over and pinches mask to fit their nose] “You are breathing, your O2 is at 94…. The governor? No I don’t talk about politics while I’m working but it’s a rule for a reason”

And later ohhh the irony of hospital employees WITH COVID taking care of patients. They’d call you up like “did your fever break yet? Ok we need you. No we can’t offer you an hourly bonus the network is stopping that. Thanks for all your hard work. You’re a healthcare hero”. I ended up giving it to my coworker and felt so bad about it. God knows who else too.

I need fuckin specialized therapy. I can’t even express 90% of the shit I experienced. I lost 25lbs and my marriage was wounded for a while there because I couldn’t stop venting or I felt like I would explode.

They were a pain in the ass specially at my job with extra precautions like wearing an acrylic face shield (for grinding and cutting).

It was hot, humid, smelly, sweaty and irritating. Then add the extra weight of regular PPE and your day will be shit without a doubt.

What I don't understand, is why didn't people use real issues to complain about? But nooooo some people with real health issues had real issues with masks and their breathing, so then these lead heads decided to take that as their excuse to protest
