DarkLich posted:What Steve said: mask with confidence! Typically at most gatherings it's just my wife and I masking. This Thanksgiving I got my parents to agree to mask EVERYWHERE (My dad is still doing this, my mom not as much) for two weeks and to test three times before we come over. More people were going to come over but as they weren't willing to take those same precautions, we're having two rounds of thanksgiving. One with people who actually put in relatively minimal effort where we will be unmasked (with some windows open and a Cube nearby) and one where we're the only masked people. Still an improvement from the last two years where we went to go eat in the garage.

just do what I do when people ask about the mask, tell them I have TB while starting to pull it down and ask if they want any

I have Medicaid and there is only one place close enough that takes it. I've been on their waiting list for 8 months. If I try to reschedule I probably won't get in until after next thanksgiving. Hooray for  and big thanks to the back to normal crowd for their happy gatherings that gently caress up other people's health

For some reason private dental clinics are cheap in Finland. 130 for a yearly checkup, and they remove any plaque buildup etc while at it. X-rays and hole repairs are extra, but so far the need for them has been infrequent during past 20 years. Wait lists for public dental care are enormous, 8 month queues sound like what we have in public sector.

Ihmemies posted:What do you do, when you don't want to be the only guy masking? Just not go to events? That's what I've been doing so far, but I really miss out on some stuff, especially excursions to potential workplaces which our university's student organization arranges to different IT companies. I no longer care if people look at me weird. You know those movies where someone is warning of an impending disaster, and urging everyone to take precautions, and no one does? And you're sitting in the audience and thinking, "Well, if I was in this movie I would certainly listen to Handsome Scientistman and not feel the least bit embarrassed about it". Congrats. You're now in that movie.

I have bad anxiety and I hate standing out, but my desire to not be sick or spread sickness to others and my inability to normalize all this has overridden any care about being the only one masked, and I just accept that we live in the twilight zone and I'm gonna get weird looks and probably have people call me insane or whatever. Also, I'm way more angry now lol. Like, yup I'm wearing a mask, why aren't you? gently caress off!

Heart surgery will be in about 24 hours, posting pals. Might be quadruple bypass too apparently. If I don't post again within a week or so, name the thread after me for 12 hours or something. That will be my legacy to the world. I barely posted in this thread but was that annoying Melbourne update guy in the old one while stuck in strict lockdown/curfew etc for 300+ days.

Re: not wanting to stand out. If it helps try to remember that by wearing a mask, you are normalizing that behavior. You're also implicitly advocating for the immune-compromised or other vulnerable people, as well as people who may actually want to wear a mask but are too anxious to stand out from the crowd.

People avoiding me while masking is an extra benefit in my experience. It not only reduces exposure to their plague-cloud but it also runs them away in stores and speeds everything up.

I had open heart surgery a few years ago valve and aortic root replacement. The first week of recovery isn't fun, but you can sleep through most of it. After that? You'll sail. Good luck, but you're gonna crush it. Edit: My dad had a quadruple bypass a little under a year ago and actually recovered even more quickly than I did.
