I expected the worse but I'm glad it wasn't what I expected haha, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, it is actually a really solid piece

It’s not easy especially when you have to sit in front of an unmasked physician.

msmangajojo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I understand as I am the only one who wears a mask at the hospital I attend as none of the staff or other patients wear a mask.

Except thread and very true. I have been sworn at away from here because I wear a mask but I haven’t stopped wearing a mask since the start of Covid.

at this point, donning the extra layer of protection that a mask provides for us all has become second nature for me, no different than automatically buckling my seat belt in the car. i don't care what other people might think of me masking. it works, dammit!

msmangajojo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I completely agree and I always wear a mask when I leave my home as it’s exactly the same as putting my shoes on.

It’s not just Covid you are protecting yourself from, it’s also flu, RSV, measles and pneumonia.

msmangajojo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I completely agree and it’s an excellent point. I haven’t even had a cold since before the start of Covid and I have never had Covid.

Unfortunately, I have had it twice. I have no clue how I got it the first time, but the second time was from an acquaintance who had been exposed at a Christmas party.

msmangajojo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I am so sorry to hear this. I have been living a restricted life since the start of Covid and I don’t go to any indoor places apart from the hospital (as I have no choice). My pinned post is very accurate.

For me it's just that I wore face mask for decades working in industrial factories, so it was easy to add to my routine, and as the pandemic continues and things like facial recognition becomes more pervasive I feel no need to discontinue a habit that makes everyone a little bit safer at zero cost.

This is an excellent post😊 I haven’t stopped wearing a mask since the start of Covid. I am the only one who wears a mask at the hospital I attend as none of the staff or other patients wear a mask.

"They are the least concerned about other’s perceptions, the most concerned about others/our collective well-being, are embodying self-care by protecting their health (and mental health), willing to interrogate their choices and motivations,

...and are committed to accepting and integrating data and new information - even when they want desperately to be wrong about what they learn.

They are also among the most alienated, judged, ignored, harassed, invisibilized, and forgotten".
