I live in an area currently experiencing significant wildfires & smoke, so I wear a mask when riding my bike. Doesn’t make any sense to try and control what people do with their bodies
Bird flu is starting to spread (in humans) in Texas, Michigan, Colorado, and Wisconsin. But the masks are the problem.
"oops sorry, just a touch of smallpox, don't worry about it!"
"Smallpox only kills the disabled and the elderly. We need to get back to normal!"
not gonna lie, getting pretty tired of being looked at weird for this. at this point if someone makes me take it off I'm just gonna launch into a coughing fit in their face.
People change their attitude real fast if you say “oh sorry, if you’re okay with me giving you [insert random sickness] I’ll happily take my mask off”
