My devolopmentally disabled brother is dying of colon cancer Chemotherapy is keeping him alive, my mother and I are his caregivers. So I will mask carefully and thoroughly until he is dead. Because others won't I can't take him shopping, and to lego land and to a lot of places because the risk is too great that he'll get covid and die sooner because I took him gently caress everything

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I was referring to the poll calling those who don't wear masks anymore dumb when: Note that the CDC changed the type of risk which is displayed on their covid risk map, it used to show the risk of infection but it now shows the risk of medical facilities being available if you get seriously ill. The current CDC community risk map shows that 44% of counties are at medium-to-high risk (based on availability of staffed hospital beds) but the map which uses the old criteria shows that 97.5% of US counties are at moderate to high risk (based on covid transmission rates)   https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tr...CommunityLevels https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view?list_select_state=all_states&list_select_county=all_counties&data-type=Risk

I haven't been but everyone in my office has gotten sick lately including me, only one (that I know of at this point) had covid (not me,, thank god) but nowadays we're looking at flu, rsv and whatever so everyone is getting sick all the time. I'm going on vacation soon and I was already planning on wearing a mask but when I get back I think I will see if the rest of the staff will do it at work too. At least for the winter if nothing else. It's seriously getting really bad and it's mostly old people here so who knows how many are in the hospital at this point already.

Also I just wanted to point out ... the poll says "a a dumb" which is, ironically, a little dumb. If you ask me.

hell yeah, i wear an N95 every time i go out. it's loving great not breathing in diseases, pollution, and smoke.Darth Brooks posted:The av text was inspired by the realization that you wear a mask not to keep from getting COVID but to keep others from inadvertently getting COVID from you. lol, my mask prevents me from getting covid. if i don't have covid, i can't give anyone else covid. covid, flu, and rsv are all spread via airborne aerosol particles, if you don't want to get sick, you have to wear physical protection against particles. trusting others to to do the right thing means you get sick, because no one else gives a gently caress about your health.

Hell, I'm stoked that mask-wearing has been normalized so I can avoid respiratory bugs in general, not just covid. One of the few things I used to like about winter was that it gave me a reasonable excuse to wear gloves in public places, especially public transport, and being able to mask up is even better. A couple years before covid we had a flu outbreak here that was bad enough they were closing ERs and sending people away if their symptoms weren't bad enough. I thought people were astoundingly blase about that, and now that masks have become somewhat acceptable you can bet I am going to keep making use of them.
