We live with them daily. Right now there is no mask mandate where we live, even in doctor's offices. I had to get eyeglasses yesterday, and the optician has to get right up to your face to fit your glasses. No mask. In fact, I was just about the only one in the entire office wearing a mask. Our local positivity rates are going up so it's just a matter of time. People act like if you ignore COVID, it will just cease to exist. Sadly, that's so wrong.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-84325873582294587212022-04-07T19:34:09.557+05:302022-04-07T19:34:09.557+05:30Funny, in over two years of the plague, I have not...Funny, in over two years of the plague, I have not heard the term covidiots, and it is just perfect!

I might not agree with them but I understand their not wanting to go for it. What I don't understand is their being antagonistic about even something as simple and external as the mask. A mask can reduce the probability of anything viral, anything airborne spreading. This is common sense. Unfortunately not as common. Not surprising though, in the age of Whatsapp universities and internet/quick crash courses, true medical advice will hardly stand ground in front of so called self educated quacks whose only purpose is to defy anything that is put out there. <br /><br />Here's my post for C: <br /><a href="https://fictionpies.com/2022/04/c-chanakyas-chant-2022-a-z.html" rel="nofollow">C: Chanakya’s Chant</a><br /><a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-8919000323870972302022-04-06T08:34:07.362+05:302022-04-06T08:34:07.362+05:30SOOOOOO many covidiots out there!

And she and the vets wore masks all the time. Locksley and I couldn't even be adopted until the first lockdown was ended, and before the next one. I think it was very hard for Mummy when Bertie was ill. We only came to Mummy because Bertie died.
