context: this meme is 3 years old. think about what everyone including that gentleman in the back did to protect everyone around them.

[-] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

A lot of people still don't understand that most masks are only really good for protecting others rather than the wearer and that this was the main point of asking people to wear them. I've seen people have revelations and change their opinion about masks upon having this explained.

I’ve seen people have revelations and change their opinion about masks upon having this explained.

I've seen more who openly don't give a fuck.

[-] makeasnek@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

High quality masks like N95s are incredibly effective at protecting the wearer when used properly.

I wonder if she's eligible for a Herman Cain award.

people are still dying from COVID & people think it's "old news" lol

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 104 points 1 year ago

In the "quiet" COVID month of July 1990 people died of COVID, compared to 86 people with influenza.

And that's a quiet month.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 261 points 1 year ago

Read July 1990 as a date not: in July, 1990 people

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 86 points 1 year ago

God thank you for the clarification. For a quick second I thought I had jumped the timeline to one where Clinton handled COVID.

Read "Read" as a command instead of a past tense :)

Tough day for keyboards today

I will send back this PR as an incorrect date format, I already am triggered by this lack of a comma

I too would wear a mask, headphones and probably a sleepmask if I were forced to sit next to someone who enjoys Ayn Rand.

It's not very safe though, you never know when such person would have idea to excercise their freedom and virtues on your belongings and/or body.

My workplace just went back to masking because it's already kicking off to be a banger of a respiratory illness season. I'll use whatever I can to remind people it's not just about your comfort.

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 year ago

Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

Worst part so far was last night when I couldn't tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Oh wow that would have sucked!

I can't get another booster until November because of the timing of my last shot but definitely will. Getting my flu shot tomorrow though. The amount of plain old non-COVID respiratory illness in the hospitals around here is absolutely wild, like just plain old pneumonia.

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Definitely need to get my flu shot too so thanks for that reminder. When I test negative again I will try and get both.

Also just learned if I try blowing through my right nostril hard enough, I can blow air out of my left eye sinus passage. Covid has been a gift that keeps on giving.
