I’m a diabetic with an already weakened immune system. I was in the hospital in 2019 with necrotizing fasciitis, a.k.a flesh eating bacteria for the lay person, that was in my right foot. I spent two months going to a wound care clinic so that I could undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy, sitting in a plastic tube for 2.5 hours a day to help heal my foot so I wouldn’t be an amputee, and underwent three surgeries over the course of a year. This winter I got sick, for no apparent reason, and was in the hospital for a month and a half during the first outbreak of corona virus. I’m pretty sure i had the virus but there was no testing available. Now that I am on the mend I can’t get reliable antibody testing to tell me WTF happened to my health in the early part of the year. I wear a mask because I don’t want to get sick and have to spend anymore time in the hospital than I already have. I wear a mask so I, hopefully, never have to pay hospital bills like I have been doing for two years. I wear a mask because of constant stress of contracting the virus, or giving it to someone else. I wear a mask as a common sense way for me to help fight the virus that has been affecting so many in the world.
I’m wearing this mask for my own personal reasons, not because of the simpleton in Washington. The fact that it’s viewed by Trump and his supporters as a big “fuck you” to his administration is just a bonus for me. What a creep, total narcissist and garbage person/son of a bitch to think that my personal health choices are due to what he thinks. People make personal health choices for their benefit, not because of politics.
