Everyone around me is veryyy sick but I've been fine so far wearing my Zimi N95. Sadly have to cohabit with my family and I'm just having relatives come over via plane and go to restaurants... I hope I'll be fine it's very stressful and I wish people took Covid seriously. Got harassed for masking in a hospital by the staff recently.. :/

I was visiting in central Florida a couple weeks ago, in a relatively blue area, and had 3 interactions about my n95 in a week. 2 were positive, but the 3rd one in between was some rando that tried to bait me with a "nice mask" and when I just said thanks and continued walking, he started yelling "Go Covid!" at me.

What's surprising is that I live in a generally red area of Florida and people mostly don't fuck with me. If anything they'll avoid me rather than acknowledge the mask. Visit a blue area and it becomes a thing.🤷

I'm not in the US (thankfully), people here just mostly use the "I thought the pandemic passed look at this bozo" type of rhetoric.. while having debilitating autoimmune issues lol
