First time having a person come and talk to me about my mask. He came up to me from being and said, ‘you know, Covid is over’. My response, ‘not for me, I’m immune compromised.’ Him, ‘nope, it’s over for everyone.’ ….. /

People think Covid cautious people are scared. Strangely, I’m not scared. I wear my n95 when in public and go about my day. I feel about it the way I feel about driving. Put on seatbelt and drive. I don’t think about traffic accidents. I might get Covid but I did all I could do.

I replied, ‘I’m missing part of my immune system’ and he started to reply and I said, ‘and it isn’t any of your business’. That got through and he shut up. His kid was with him, which I realized after I told him it wasn’t his business. It did rattle me a bit.

Pharmacist was scared my son and I had Covid because we put on masks to go through the pharmacy drive through. She was unmasked and in a nervous voice asked, ‘do you have…, are you sick with?’ And we told her no but she kept the window closed and used the draw. Ironic.

The unspoken idea behind dropping masks on medical settings is that the lives of the high risk are not worth protecting even to *doctors*!that it is ok to cause is harm. That the discomfort of a mask to a doctor in a medical setting is more serious than our lives. Not justifiable

This is misleading in a few ways. There are a range of risk levels depending on age, health conditions, and more. The vax is great but *insufficient* and you know it. We should be masking. Too many vaxed have died. Also vax doesn’t protect from long Covid.
