Have You Been Around Anyone Who Did Something "Covid Irresponsible"?

[win231]

I've seen elderly people in the market with their mask down covering only their chin. It doesn't bother me; they're probably having enough trouble breathing as it is.
And before the mask requirement, no one wore a mask & I didn't get it (or, maybe I already had it before).

Last week, I was visiting friends & one of their friends dropped by for a visit. We sat a few feet apart. We stopped hugging after Coronacrap started. But their friend (who has the hots for me) said, "Screw this Corona stuff; you're awesome," & she grabbed me & kissed me.
I just laughed & said, "Now we both have it."

No. I never let people get close enough to me to do anything so irresponsible and my husband does most of our shopping. Bless his loving soul.

 

[Keesha]

I’d rather be a bit lonely than dead or on a ventilator, I like my home so I don’t mind staying home where I know we are both safe .

Ditto!

with rumors of other viruses on the way in the future that are worse than covid i wouldn't count on that.

These rumor-spreaders have a crystal ball, do they? How could anyone possibly know that? Or even make a reasonable guess? That's just fearmongering.

 

[MarciKS]

yeah ok whatever

they don't wear them in the kitchen because they don't have to. just common areas where visitors may be. some wear them on their chin. under their nose. they paw on the masks and don't wash or change gloves. i see this and freak out internally because i'm a huuuuuuuuuuuge germaphobe. i mask, wash, sanitize, and distance as best i can. couple of them got mad at me for distancing but i stuck to my guns.

I don't understand this at all. If memory serves correctly, you work in a hospital cafeteria.

Are you saying that your hospital's policy doesn't require all employees to wear masks at all times while working?

If you're not exaggerating, this would be outrageous behavior. Not at all amusing.

that's what i'm saying. in the kitchen (out of public view) and in the individual offices they don't have to. it's because the state merely "suggested" we wear masks in public. they didn't mandate it in kansas like they have other places.

 

[MarciKS]

they require masks in the common areas. but behind closed doors no. it makes no sense at all.

I hear that often - "My husband does my shopping," so I'm safe. I don't understand that. The "experts" are telling us this virus is very contagious. If people believe that, why wouldn't they be concerned that their husband could give them the virus when they get home?

Most of what we're being told makes no sense.

Uh.....yeah. "I exaggerate, so I'd like to believe everyone else does."

 

[StarSong]

Uh.....yeah. "I exaggerate, so I'd like to believe everyone else does."

So you're exaggerating or not?

 

[win231]

I don't exaggerate. But you think everyone else does - because you do.

Win. I didn’t say I was safe. I merely answered the question and the question was ‘have you ever been around anyone who has been covid irresponsible?’ My answer: NO since I’m not around that many people. If I’m not around many people then my chances of seeing covid irresponsible people is lessened dramatically.

My husband actually has nothing to do with my answer. It’s up to ME how freaked out or concerned I get about what he does and frankly I resent your insinuation that I’m senseless. I don’t give you my personal opinions about your lifestyle choices and would appreciate you do the same

I didn’t say or even suggest I was safe because my husband does the shopping.

That’s your mistake

Please don't project this behavior onto me or make an accusation. I was merely posing a question about a rather shocking story you related. On forums it's not always easy to know when people are joking or exaggerating for effect.

I merely answered the question and the question was ‘have you ever been around anyone who has been covid irrespinsible.’ My answer: NO since I’m not around that many people.

I didn't insinuate that you are senseless. That's your misinterpretation.

Oh you most certainly DID insinuate. I didn’t misinterpret anything. You merely back-peddled

Doing a medical standby at an Equestrian event with people from all over the world... at least 2 dozen NY tags spotted...
Even though its STATE mandated and the FACILITY rules.....
Only abot 10% of the people are wearing masks....

I haven't been around more than one person in over 9 months and now I'm not going to be around more than one again until this virus is over with 4 a vaccine is found and I get it and I always wear a mask around the one person I'm around @Keesha

I’ve been out shopping but I stay clear from people. Even going for walks I move away from others so that I’m safe. My husband is part of his company’s Safety committee so is constantly warning others to keep safe distancing , wear masks, wash hands. He’s definitely more used to virus safety protocol than I am and practices it and I trust him.

My lifestyle is very isolated anyway since that’s my preference. I’m not a big people person so don’t do a lot of socializing so this isn’t all that different from my regular lifestyle. I definitely don’t wear masks while out walking the dogs

I am still bothered by something that happened tonight. I took my dog for a walk and on the way back some of the apt. complex people were getting ready to sit outside for awhile. I was invited by the manager to join them and I said I would for a few minutes.

Anyhow, one of the people was standing about 2 feet away from me and talking with a mask on to a guy there who was also wearing a mask. He said something she didn't like and she pulled down her mask and blew a raspberry at him. In other times I would have thought it on the funny side but I didn't this time as me and my dog were not far from her.

She is not a young person but I really could not understand why she would do something like that in this day and age of the virus! I was disturbed by it and thinking--oh great now I have to worry about this...and getting sick! I did speak up a few minutes later and told her just to not blow any more raspberries. She apologized and said sometimes she doesn't think before she does things or speaks. I told her we all do that.

So, I have been muttering to myself ever since that. I came back home pretty fast saying that I had to check on my birds. I was wearing a mask but my dog was not. Thankfully my dog was farther away from her than I was. I have also heard of a dog and cat getting it from people.

So now I'm just going to try and relax...easier said than done!

What a nit wit!
At least she apologized. You had on a mask, so chances are you'll be ok. Try not to worry.

The only thing that troubles me is my eyes were not protected and that's another way the virus can get to us but thank you.

Sometimes things happen that we can't predict and I never thought that somebody would pull their mask down and blow a raspberry.
