In reply to the discussion: When this is all over, I think there will be one demographic that will suffer far worse than others [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,674 posts)17. I am currently having the first COPD attack in 2 years and I wear a mask when I am near others
I am short of breath and coughing, but I have no other symptoms at all. None. Zero. I have Emphysema and COPD but haven't had even the inkling of an episode in almost 2 years.
That is, up until about 10 days ago! Shitty timing, eh?
So...I wear a mask when I am around others and I tell them just that: That I do this to protect THEM.
The episode is on the wane, though. Thankfully, it seems to be backing off.
But you're right. Way too many just don't seem to get it at all.
I'm waiting for a stranger to ask me why I'm wearing a mask. My answer;
"Because I paid attention in High School Biology class, that's why"
