          Both my wife and I are immunocompromised (kidney transplant and cancer). We wear a mask because getting sick really sucks and it’s not just COVID. We’re glad most people got used to the idea of seeing others in masks because here in the US it wasn’t a common thing like it is in Japan. I never expected others to continue wearing them but we get harassed often for wearing ours. It’s so frustrating now that I simply yell “she has cancer” whenever someone confronts us. Some go as far as to tell us to “stay home” then if we’re so scared. We’re just trying to live too and sometimes that means us wearing a mask when we’re out.

          I don’t want people forcing me to wear a mask when covid was a problem 4 years ago

          Im sorry to tell you and all conservasuckers this fact, respiratory viruses are on the rise in the last few decades, the next global pandemic which may be worse than covid, is probably going to happen less than 10 years from now. How yall gonna freak out when that one comes chum?

              Hi, “moron” checking in. Downvoting your comments because they are pointless. Despite what one thinks about the covid situation, other infectious diseases exist outside of covid. In addition, nobody is forcing you to wear a mask by simply wearing their own masks.

              Your comments deserve the downvotes due to the sheer stupidity, so there’s no point in trying to attack the people giving them to you.

              I wouldn’t describe two people calling you out for being an idiot as ten to fifteen peoplemelting down, but idiots do tend to have issues with numbers and reality.

          No one’s forcing you to wear a mask, you dumb shit. This post is how a person was denied entrance to a restaurant because they were wearing a mask. That’s completely different.

      yeah, you know how infectious diseases completely stop infecting people after one outbreak. swine flu was 50 years ago, and famously never came back.

      Just so you’re aware, friend… Lemmy is auto-translating all your posts for all other users - This is what we see wherever you post:

      “I was kicked in the head by a horse 4 years ago”

      Hoping you get the help you need, bud. Sure, you shouldn’t have been playing with that horse’s bunghole, but you didn’t deserve all this.

      As everyone knows, covid is the only infectious disease facemasks can reduce the spread of. Before covid masks were just decorative.

        And as usual the conservamorons are like “mAsK WaSnT 100% eFfEcTiVe!!!” In their backwards universe if something is only 85% effective, its the same as it being 0% effective.

      Just because I’m curious: I have chronic sarcoidosis in both lungs, and lifelong asthma. I’ve by some miracle survived 4 years, but at the cost of almost all the stamina I used to have. COVID still circulates around the daycares, youth clubs and workplaces here and I have children.

      I don’t have an option to not wear a mask when I leave the room I’ve spent these 4 years in. Does that bother you?

      Be honest and tell us you don’t give a shit about the people around you.
