Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #112

Well, I had an "interesting" experience today at the Optometrists office. I walked in, wearing a mask as per usual since I'm in public and not wanting to breath other people's cootie breath when this guy looked at me and uttered a loud 'God!' and jumped back away from me. I didn't want to break the news to the ignoramus that *I* wasn't the one to be scared of. It was him and all the other maskless people in there (99%. I was the only mask wearer).

People are so weird. JMO about that!

That's incredibly rude and thoughtless of him! There are so many reasons for you to be wearing that mask, and not a single one of them is his business!

Thank you. I thought that perhaps he figured that someone wearing a mask was because the mask wearer was contagious and out in public with god only knows what. But it's actually the opposite. I'm the one who doesn't have Covid (Covid virgin here cuz I never go around people without a mask. Not even my own mother (she's not a mask wearer)). My mask is so I don't catch it.

But even if that's the case as to what went through his mind... he assumes the person not risking catching it are the problem people, yet totally OK getting up close and talking face-to-face with people isn't a risky thing to do? It really doesn't make any sense.

I'm finally getting better. I went out today. I've tested negative 3 days in a row using the OTC antigen tests. It's been about 20 days since the first symptoms, so hopefully I am not contagious, considering the testing and time elapsed. I would guess that it was that BA 3.2 variant, but I have no way to know. Possibly the vaccines I've been getting right along have made it less severe.

There are probably plenty of people out there with this variant....

Masks can get second looks here, but it isn't anybody else's right to tell anyone they shouldn't mask.
