If you live in the USA, have you gotten your N95 masks yet?
As I walked into my Meijer store this week I was handed these three masks. It struck me as funny that the woman passing them out was not wearing a mask. I was already wearing a mask of my own at the time. In my household we are all fully vaccinated and boostered, but I am careful.... I feel it's a personal choice whether we wear masks or not. I'm not out often, only do what I need to do outside the house, so wear the mask for the short time I am exposed to others. I not only want to avoid Covid and all it's various spin offs, but even the common cold. Maybe by next winter I won't be so conservative about this....
It wasn't until I got home that I saw in the news that our US government is passing out the free N95 masks to everyone from our reserve stockpile.
Again, I'll say I believe it is a personal choice to wear a mask or not. I'll not comment on the political implications, but I do wonder how many of my tax dollars paid for my three masks.
Hmmmm.... Food for thought....

....and why at one time there was supposed to be a shortage of these same masks? Now, being handed out, free?!!!
ReplyDeleteThey probably cost double what you woukdchave paid to buy your own.
