It doesn’t get humid where I am either, I personally never found a mask I was really happy with, then I just got fed up with it and only wore it when I didn’t have a choice.

You’d be a hero if you kept trying.

Sorry, guess I’m not a hero then, I think trying for two years was more than enough.

It’s mad that people can go “hey my actions put people at risk of death and injury and I’m just going to do it”

Coming from someone living with a person with long-COVID, someone who got infected AFTER being fully vaccinated and AFTER the emergency period, I just gotta say that this kind of thinking is really disappointing. Can you imagine if there was an afterlife, and you had to explain your actions to your higher power.

Yeah, you know, I realize that driving my car around puts others at risk, it pollutes the air, I might hit and kill someone accidentally, but I have to get food and go to work somehow. I guess screw me for just trying to live my life, right?

I would ask why that higher power thought creating covid was a good idea in the first place, or why he didn’t care enough to stop it.

Guy, you drive a car under the speed limit, sober, and when you have the right of way. If you fail to do any of those, and someone gets hurt, you are definitely at fault. You need to reasonably limit how much air pollution your car has and not roll coal.

God definitely gave you the means to stop it. It’s masks, filtration, ventilation, and obviously vaccines.

Am I not putting people at risk of death and injury by driving my car even if I do it while sober and follow the rules? Am I not harming people with my exhaust, even if it’s stock and legal? We all do stuff that puts others at risk, it’s part of life.

God could have made it not even happen in the first place, he needs to answer for creating a death virus, and cancer, and all the other horrible stuff he is responsible for.

I dunno. Maybe I am just weird but I like wearing work gloves and touching stuff I know wouldn’t be good to touch bear handed. I always kinda get that same feeling from wearing a mask.

As someone who didn’t try to not to get sick, avoided wearing a mask whenever I could, went to crowded bars with friends during the height of covid, etc, and never once got noticeably sick, I didn’t find the air I was breathing to be all that dangerous to warrant protection.

I’m not denying that COVID exists, I got my vaccine the second it was available to me, I just didn’t feel as threatened by it as some others did.
