No, fuck you. My sister with CF has the effective lung capacity of someone WHO IS MISSING A LUNG and she can wear a mask with no ill effects . Stop being a snowflake.

FYI, if it ever becomes relevant to you, about two weeks ago the DOJ released an official statement saying that the ADA does NOT exempt you from mask requirements.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

“The ADA does not provide a blanket exemption to people with disabilities from complying with legitimate safety requirements necessary for safe operations.”

Sir I’ll have to report you to the mods. Y ou’ve failed to tag this post with the appropriate [politics] tag as making a freedom lovin American wear a mask is a politically driven g ubmint tryanny forced upon them.

Also remember, COVID-19 is simultaneously a liberal hoax, blown out of proportion and a deadly bioweapon manufactured in China.

Maybe they actually do though, hear me out.

I’m increasingly convinced that Jeremy Clarkson was correct when he joked that in some parts of the US people have been mating with vegetables. So I really do think these people do have a medical condition in that they clearly have mushy, rotten vegetables for brains.

Americans with Disabilities Act. It’s the piece of legislation that governs what accomodations need to be made for disabled persons.

Could not agree with you more. My wife has a breathing condition that is exacerbated when she gets too hot. Her mask makes it worse, to the point that sometimes she feels like she’ll pass out. Know what? She wears her mask EVERY FREAKING TIME she goes out. Because she knows that as bad as wearing a mask is, catching COVID would be several orders of magnitude worse. Frankly I worry that if she did catch it, it would kill her because her lungs can’t take it.

People need to wear their freaking masks. It’s not a personal freedom issue. It’s a “don’t kill your fellow man” issue.

Thank you, someone had to say it. Well I’m off to buy 10,000 rounds of ammo and get a confederate flag wrap on my 2001 Dodge 1500.

J ust read this on the internet:

ATTENTION FRIENDS & FAMILY - Before you run out and get yourself “TESTED” for COVID-19 consider a few facts. 1) Modern Science can take a swab from the inside of your cheek and do a COMPLETE DNA MAPPING. 2) If this COVID-19 is so CONTAGIOUS that tiny microscopic particles of Saliva in your MOUTH could spread out in excess of 6 feet and you need to wear a mask to stop the Spread. WHY not Swab the inside of your HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS MOUTH ? 3) When you tilt your head back are you sure that is just a Q-Tip going 6 inches up your nose ? - Is it possible that instead of retreiving a SAMPLE, they could actually be IMPLANTING SOMETHING ? ? ? Again DNA can be done at home through the mail with simple MOUTH SWAB but the HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS COVID-19 in your MASK COVERED MOUTHS can’t be tested with a Mouth Swab ? ? Does this sound LOGICAL ?

Yup.

Covid don't care about your rights. Covid don't care about your condition. Covid don't care what you think about it. Covid just wants in.

Besides, if your breathing is really that weak , you probably shouldn’t be going outside during a pandemic anyway.

Jesus. Have these people never had a strep test before? Or is that also a conspiracy.

If your breathing is weak enough to be impacted by a mask, you should be on oxygen

We just had one of our docs hook up to an oximeter and put on a whole box of masks to see the effects. No drop in blood oxygen levels. Science doesn’t means shit to these idiots.

My sister can and has been put in hospital from a common cold. If she catches this she WILL die. But by all means , risk her life and others because breathing in hot air makes you sightly uncomfortable.

DipodomysDeserti > HammerheadFistpunch

To be fair, certain hospital administrations were telling nurses they couldn’t wear their own masks, even if they were on Covid floors when this first started taking off. Really glad my sister told them to fuck off.

Didn’t set a good precedent as far as showing the public the seriousness of this, and how necessary masks are.

Covid might as well not be a thing here in BC. 100% of employees are masked up, approximately 2% of everyone else at this point.

Been 6 months and I still can’t breathe properly. Doubt I ever will again. Feels like I’m back to smoking 2 packs a day with asthma.

Fill your boots.

You make a good point but the people that beat that drum “you told u s not to first now you do, which is it!” Don’t understand how knowledge works. If old knowledge is replaced with new better knowledge... That’s the new standard. At the beginning of this the concern was ppe supply for healthcare and we didn’t know enough about transmission to say for certain one way or the other if not medical grade face coverings worked... Now we do.

Good for your sister for standing her ground. Shane on people for using confusion during a panic as an excuse to discredit solid medical advice now.

You’re right, the few people I know with diagnosed mental impairments are still able to comprehend the importance of masks. I’m being very unfair to them by making that comparison.

Have I in any way insinuated that people with special needs are lesser , or deserve lesser treatment, or anything to that effect? No. I haven’t. Yes, I made a joke involving mental impairment, but i t was not at the expense of those who are actually impaired.

Along these same lines, the CEO of Advanta Health was on Face the Nation this morning telling people it is safe to go to Disney World...in Florida...where they just reported 15k cases in one day.

These guys are morons.

They don’t give a shit about public health, they’re there to make as much dough as possible.

My gym allows members to reserve an hour window to go work out, and there are only 150 slots per window (it’s a very large, spacious gym). Can’t use the showers, lockers, or the water fountains, and everyone MUST wear a mask.

Guess which rule a very sizeable chunk of people don’t follow?

I work from home. We social distance. We’re careful. I work from home all day, every day, with my kids. My wife goes to work in a controlled setting, which means the only time I have without kids, to be an adult, is for one hour per day lifting weights as carefully as possible. I lost over 75 pounds a few years ago, and I’m now devoted to keeping my body as healthy as possible, so the gym is very important to me regarding my physical and mental wellbeing.

I wear a mask, full finger workout gloves (to make sure that I don’t cut my finger and get someone else’s sweat/germs in the wound), I wipe down equipment before/after use, social distance as much as possible, and use copious amounts of sanitizer during that hour. I JUST LEFT THE FUCKING GYM EARLY, CUSSING UP A GOD DAMNED STORM because everywhere I went people without masks would walk up and start huffing and puffing on me. I usually go at 5 AM when that’s not too much of a problem, but apparently everyone that works out on Sunday afternoons is IMMUNE to COVID.

And this isn’t a problem with just a certain pale segment of the population, so if anyone is envisioning everyone I’m talking about being conservative blondes you’re oh so wrong. Eastern and Western Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Whites... If they were wearing masks, it was usually to protect their neck as they spit fine mist out of their mouths doing reps at me. I’m sure it’s fun as hell to poke fun at Republicans talking shit on the internet, but it’s EVERYONE who’s fucking this pandemic up.

My city, county, and state all have a mask rule. It’s the same sons of bitches that applaud those rules that break them.
