Dear community. LISTEN UP!

This needs to be said. I just watched a gentlemen get screamed at by another customer, so bad that security was needed when he didn't wear a mask in the store. As I walked to my car I saw the maskless guy again.... In his car about hyperventilating using an inhailed. I personally and many others had a hand held over my mouth to muffle my cry's for help, and tape put on my face, I go into full blown attacks with one on, and I've gotten looks and comments because I'm going and healthy so there is "no reason I can't" .... You DO NOT know what the heck other people have been through or what conditions they have. If you are scared keep your six feet, hell walk further around if need be but do not come after people who aren't wearing one. Thank you for attending my TED talk.

I feel for anyone who physically can't breathe with a mask on, but I also feel for the people dying of COVID-19. It almost took my friend's life, might have made an attempt on my uncle's. 😔 Obviously there's a balancing act in society and yelling at someone from the get-go is too much. But mask policies must be enforced if you care for the immune-suppressed, and the only way to work this out effectively is to make it the duty of those poor souls with respiratory conditions to identify themselves. It's not fair, but it is necessary, unfortunately.

I say this as someone with asthma, myself. Don't let some people die for the mere convenience of others.

@BlueVeins a hospitalization isn't a mere inconvenience. I wear mine on my chin and slide it up if someone passes close. Also my uncle almost did

@Rosiechick13 Obviously, but identifying yourself as disabled when asked (or with a badge/lanyard) is.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@BlueVeins I'm not labeling myself as disabled we aren't communists

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Rosiechick13 lmao because that's the problem with commies 😂😂🤦🤦🤦

@Rosiechick13 🤦‍♂️

WTH does this have to do with Communism?

Is your brain broken?

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx weren't a spacific group of people tattooed to identify there "type" then murdered in the masses. I'm not wearing a badge.

@JoeyFoxx Anything a conservative disapproves of is communism, silly.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 you have your history misrepresented

First, Nazi Germany was Fascist, not Communist

Second, a tattoo by the government is wholly different than an optional badge that the wearer can choose to wear to get an exception to social norms

The more you post, the more you appear to be a troll or just not very smart.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx optional. Being the point. I cannot be forced nor will i

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Rosiechick13 Comparing fascist Germany's extermination of minorities to a legitimate public health interest that will save lives is incredibly ignorant and frankly, embarrassing.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 who’s forcing you?

You want to shop, wear a mask.
You want to have someone else shop for you, don’t wear a mask.

Why make a fuss?

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@BlueVeins he thought Jews were going to be the death of Germany too 🤦

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx that's my point the wear a badge thing. No not only no hell no!

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 you cannot possibly be this insipidly dumb.

Therefore, you are a troll

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx but I will shop for myself and keep 6 ft and not wear one

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Rosiechick13 He was fucking wrong, dumbass. That's the difference here.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 if you don’t wear a mask, Kroger won’t let you shop.

So, your choice troll.

Do what you want and keep your germs to yourself.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx that's weird you might want to tell my Kroger that because I've been in it four times five times in the past five weeks. also Walmart because our Walmart is still letting people in. If you say I have a medical condition they will not go any further

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 if you’re local stores aren’t enforcing mask wearing, then don’t be surprised when there’s an outbreak in your community.

But seriously, you’re likely not telling the whole truth.

Because .... troll.
