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 2 years 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 2 years 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 103 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 86 points 2 years 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

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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 37 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

I did the same thing when I last had covid, ate a salad which was expired by 10 days…

[-] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I am fully vaxed (booster not available here yet) and had COVID before. Just got it again recently and it really got me good. Still dealing with respiratory problems two weeks later.
