girlfriendluvr: pixelated-dragon: matchabrookie: Um no wtf. Some people have pre-existing conditions that make it difficult to breathe with a mask on. E.g. anxiety, asthma, COPD. Mind your own business. Actually I have anxiety, claustrophobia, sensory issues, & severe asthma, yet I still wear at least one if not two masks in public. “mind your own business,” it becomes my business if it’s possibly harmful to me or the people around me Yes, some people have pre-existing conditions that can make wearing masks difficult, the solution is going out in public as little as possible or finding alternative face coverings. (I’m sure there’s more safe solutions out there that other people have figured out) I have no solutions for an alternative face covering that would work for someone w/copd, but someone with copd probably wouldn’t want to be in public rn b/c they’re very high risk?!? (Please someone correct me if I’m wrong on any of this I do not have copd) Also asthmatics and other high risk people should wear masks to protect ourselves if we can? Having a few asthma attacks or panic attacks is so much better than me or someone else dying from covid19. Stop using my conditions and disabilities as an excuse for pushing harmful ideology. first of all, anxiety is NOT a condition that necessitates not wearing a face mask, even the slightest bit. if you think it is, you’re an idiot. for people with actual breathing conditions (such as copd or severe asthma), or anyone else who doesn’t want to wear a mask, face shields exist and are extremely cheap (you can get a 6-pack for 5 bucks): the solution to “i can’t wear a mask because i have a breathing condition” is not “i can go out without a facial covering and endanger the lives of others”. it is either find an alternative face covering like a face shield, or don’t go out at all. -- source link
