I am sick. I got sick wearing this mask. I went to 2 places last week.
I have felt the brunt of this pandemic. I was widowed in March of 2020. My husband died early in the pandemic. I am certain he and I both had covid. I asked for him to be tested but the hospital claimed the virus wasn't in our area yet. They later admitted they didn't have tests at the time of my husband's hospitalization. He died of acute respiratory distress with opacities on his lungs and brain.
I believe masks work. I always wore a mask when visiting my parent's house and when driving them to appointments. My Dad is in congestive heart failure, my Mum has Afib and my youngest son was born with a congenital heart defect and lives with low oxygen saturation. I am careful, I also have an autoimmune disease.
In January I didn't know I was sick and drove my dad to and from an appointment. Symptoms started that night. My dad did not get sick.
Fast forward and being protected is just as vital. I am looking after my parents, living in their house now. I went to the grocery store on Wednesday, the cashier was coughing and acknowledged being ill (I was frustrated). The next day I went to the ER as I was having dizzy spells and pain in my head. I waited for 2 hours and finally left because I felt ok and they were doing nothing to keep respiratory illness patients separated from others not enforcing proper mask wearing and I couldn't risk getting ill. Too late, 3 days later I felt the heaviness in my lungs. I wore new clean masks both times. This brand or my eyes failed me. I am going to invest in more 3m masks and eye protection. I live in Idaho and on top of people not wearing masks during the worst of the virus, some people held mask burnings.
