People still masking every day at work

[Anonymous]

So, the defense is that if other cars and people "will just stay out of my way, they won't get hurt when I drive 80+ mph?"

But masking alone in her car doesn't make sense. I almost don't believe that detail.

DP-I see folks driving around in their cars with masks on —recently.

Why do you care?

Because it's dangerous.

How is it dangerous?

Uh how is wearing a mask dangerous for driving? Maybe you should use your mouth less while driving?

To clarify, it's dangerous if you have glasses. Assuming you breathe.

I wear glasses. No issue. Stop the nonsense and see a therapist.

Should I assume they are unvaxxed? Just super paranoid or something??

I find this so weird.

If they have weak immune system, they need to try to minimize risk of infections in every way possible.

The pandemic has convinced a large number of people that they're suddenly and significantly immunocompromised. And some are, but many aren't. If you're not on corticosteroids, biologics, chemo, or radiation therapy, you're probably not significantly immunocompromised.

You have no basis for this statement other than the fact that you are....a big jerk. Who do you think you are? Are the spirit reader? A DCUM psychic.

go away.

You haven't noticed a significant increase in the number of people claiming to be immunocompromised? Where were all these people during previous flu seasons?

No.

Do you mean in your day-to-day or here on DCUM?

I think you are noticing more because you are paying attention to it. I do think people talk about it more, because of how the pandemic changed discussions about health. Maybe they kept it to themselves more.

Why weren't these people similarly concerned during flu seasons?

If you're wearing a mask while driving, and aren't an Uber/Lyft driver, then you're beyond the help of a therapist.

I think the anti mask pps here just have some anger they need to work out with a therapist.

You are insane. When h1n1 was bad my doctor had me mask. You questioning people's medical issues is bat chit.

Awfully sensitive. I take it you're one of the immunocompromised individuals that isn't actually taking any immunosuppressants. Let me guess: you have an "autoimmune disease."

dp - why did you put that in quotes?

Because half the people on Dcum claiming to have an autoimmune disease haven't actually been diagnosed with one by a legitimate doctor. And some that have a diagnosis only got it by doctor shopping until someone told them what they wanted to hear.

The only angry person angry here is you. Everyone else just thinks you and the other car-maskers are nuts.

What makes you think it's just covid? I'm more concerned about colds and flu. Time for you to get mental health treatment for your anxiety with masks and your lack of empathy. Perhaps its a personality disorder?

If someone is in a car with someone sick, has health issues or is an uber/lyft driver, it makes sense. For allergies, it makes sense... why do you care?

How would you know? Send me your email and I can email you my medical records. Several recent tests are really concerning as are the CT tests. But, clearly you know more than my doctors so I'd welcome the second opinion.

And if they're just driving around with their imaginary friend?

Why don't you just post your diagnosis here. You're anonymous, so it's not like there are any privacy issues, like there would be if you emailed medical records.

Cool. But you know we had cold, flu, and masks in 2019, right?

Half of the teachers at my DC's daycare still mask, although half the time I see them the masks are pulled down under their noses or to their chin completely. I've given up trying to understand, just counting the days until we are done.
