Do you think this is inconsiderate?

Co worker asked me a question as I passed her doorway, so of course I stopped to listen as she gave me some info.

She had been sneezing all morning.
I noticed her voice sounded different so I ask about it.

Her response "I could be sick, or it could be allergies".

I playfully said "could you grab your mask then, I don't want to be sick"

Her **(playful tone): "you're in my office and asking me to put on a mask? You can call me on the phone and you'll be safer"

My thoughts are that [b]we are still in a pandemic[/b]. If you feel like you could be sick, and there is a mask sitting right next to you, why not put it on for the sake of MY health and the health of those around you, while you are in the presence of others?

I don’t wear a mask but would in that situation. It’s likely she is having a bout of spring allergies. Mountain cedar trees are producing a huge amount of pollen right now in southeastern Oklahoma and the winds can blow it up here and down to Texas too depending on which way it blows.

@cherokeepatti No one breathes well in a mask. They also help steam up my glasses and make wearing hearing aids while having glasses on inpossible. Its damned inconvenient. But this is the price of keeping Covid out of the community. My community made a different choice to yours..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I just got back from grocery shopping in the next city, about a third of the people shopping were not wearing masks today. Previously it was just a small hand full. It’s a locally owned chain store and no mask mandate by that city

@cherokeepatti What can I say? These are your countryfolk. Please just protect YOU..We have not had a single case in weeks and masks will be the rule in crowds, in shops and theatres and on public transport until the vaccination roll out is complete. Its a small enough price to pay to have everything running and keep covid out.😷
