    This makes me physically ill. The fact that nobody came to your aid, but in fact joined in with the mob makes me ashamed to be Canadian. Maybe they were together from the start, maybe they were all randoms. Whatever this mob scene was, they all need to be charged.

    Ingenious and very sweet all around. I am sorry the relationship is strained like that. You are a very good person.

    Grocery shopping today, I pick the only masked cashier. Wyt couple ahead of me 'How come you're still wearing a mask? to cashier. I piped up from behind them with "I guess she hates brain damage". 'Oh wow, he's wearing one too, what's going on?' LOL

    I really hate that people still think "oh he's just exaggerating - he won't even notice if I put some pepper in". Hoping your Dad feels better soon and his thanksgiving wasn't totally ruined, though I imagine it was =(

    Oct 2022, wife's coworker said masks 'make her hot' and took her off for the rest of her shift. She tested positive within a week. She brought it home to her husband, her 2 kids, and her extended family. Kids have been sick ever since, in and out of ER. Today she was unmasked

    So, I've mentioned my wife's coworker who stopped masking in Oct '22 as masks make her hot. She finally admitted to my wife yesterday "I'm forgetting things, all kinds of things", as she stood there maskless trying to function at work.

    None of us could afford to go sick, but we did, to protect others - and also to avoid being called a variety of names and being hated by our friends and coworkers. I think workplaces need some brutal honesty like this today.

    Go sick, you bastard! Stay home when you're sick! Calls from across the huge space 'Yeah, go sick! Don't b here! Back then, we'd come to work drunk, we'd smoke on the floor, people would sneak off and sleep on bags of letters. But we knew not to infect others. We all agreed.

    Picked up my wife after work tofay. She works in a grocery store. as a supervisor so she's on and off the floor. All managers currently sick, coughing sneezing all over everybody, and only my wife is masked. Then one manager said 'some people get off on wearing masks'...

    Today's thought. I was a Postman in London in the 80s. I worked night shift for a few years, so we'd all be in the sorting office sorting and running machines. If someone came to work sick, do you know what happened?

    Jun 22, 2023 we received notices that all portable a/cs were now banned in our apt building, and we had been refused permission to install window ones, which is why we all used portable a/cs. Today, the CBC published a story about similar bans close by. 1/2

    At least they immediately stopped asking the cashier stupid questions. When they left she said "thanks, I have had covid three times already, and I can't afford to get sick any more". She looked to be mid-20s and still hopefully in good health, and wise beyond her years.

    My heart hurts. Walking outside past Walmart and I come across a woman using a walker weeping loudly as people push past her. She either dropped her groceries or got jostled, but was unable to pick them up, and nobody cared. I picked them up, helped her pack them securely.

    Please remember that nobody is magically safe, not even your mom. Found out today that my MIL no longer masks anywhere, shipping, healthcare, nowhere... My wife is the lone masker at work dodging illness all day every day in an n95 and then spends a day a week maskless w/ mom.
