Perspective changes depending on how anything like this hits you or your loved ones. I care about others and I wear a mask where required. I don't wear a mask when I'm outside or in my car, and I don't wear gloves. Unless you disinfect the gloves constantly or replace with new ones, wearing gloves is just silly. That is what I consider common sense, but thanks for accusing me of not caring about others. This place is turning into the new RAMD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you would have taken the time to explain instead of “common sense... so refreshing” crap we could understand you better.

Thin skin = not accepting accusation of not caring about people...very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close, as I never said you didn’t care about people. This is my last response so feel free to respond with what ever. I’ve heard so many people (especially) in our state who say reopening full bore is common sense. By just posting “common sense.. so refreshing” it can be taken different ways, including reopen now no matter what. If I misread I will admit I misread, Will you admit that posting just four words could mislead people. And I will trade your upset feelings over this for what i deal with... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batting practice (small group), fitness center (when fewer people attend), etc. Worn masks when required and softball games started a month ago. Had sarcoidosis in the early 70's. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/sarcoidosis Took prednisone, which eventually had me in remission. Yearly chest x-rays were negative, but their is some scar tissue. But like many health issues and our overall health, I believe our DNA is a big key. PEI mother had to help. "Oh Canada,........" Oh wow - sorry you went through that. My brother and a friend's husband have recently taken prednisone. While it is often effective (and given for a multitude of ailments) it also has a wicked list of potential side effects. The doctor and pharmacist of my brother strongly advised "do not just stop taking it" - you have to wean yourself off the medication by gradually taking lower and lower doses.

Do know that 2 of 3 homes in my immediate area that are considered crap holes have horrible numbers. And one in a nearby city that has had a bad reputation for decades also has horrible numbers Nursing homes have been badly hit here in Montreal. The Quebec provincial government just hired 10,000 new orderlies to start improving the situation at local homes (they had 60,000+ applicants for these jobs just as they were posted). People who have been hired are going through a 12 week training program before being assigned to a nursing home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear a mask unless you have a condition that prevents you from doing so, it’s not difficult and good practice that is done on a daily basis in other countries around the world outside of a pandemic.

Wearing a mask and social distancing has become a political issue for some. Regardless of what our leaders are doing or saying there are many screaming “my rights” in refusing to wear. And anyone who wears one is knuckling under to the “government”. “They want us to become sheep, blah blah”. “Taking away individual rights by forcing us to wear masks blah blah” Edited June 18, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for gloves, I have stopped wearing them because the stores I go to make me take them off to wash my hands. Some say I am not to put my gloves back on while shopping in the store. I feel that washing your hands is key to not getting exposed. I wash my hands many times now. I'm also being quite novel at not touching my face when outside the home. Yes, it itches - "conversation with self" can I live with this? I always make it until the wash. When this all began, had so many issues with twinges and itches telling me not to touch my face. I"m much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
