I'm extremely disappointed in our Annex

[vercetti2021]

Some of the workers were not wearing masks, especially the person I had to turn my absentee ballot over to. I had to fill out some paper work to get my in person ballot and she wasn't wearing a mask either. Like half the people coming in were not wearing a mask either.

Can't imagine who they voted for

But Liz pointed out in our area. Amarillo, TX. We are skyrocketing in cases right now, our hospitals are having to fly patients to other cities. It's gotten very bad, and no one is wearing masks anymore. We are a really bad hot spot right now.

[SheltieLover]

1. I hope you are ok!

Fking idiots!

[vercetti2021]

6. I am too

I work out in the public with a mask on for 8 hours straight, I'm sure I was fine. We are just very bad with cases now and no one is being safe anymore.

[SheltieLover]

14. Gawd

I'd be a nervous wreck!

[vercetti2021]

18. I am

I just don't show it. I fear if I get it, I'm pretty much dead due to my weight and previous illnesses screwing my immune system up.

[SheltieLover]

19. Do you wear goggles to protect eyes from innfection?

Can't recall name of cells that are receptors, but they are in both nose & eyes!

[vercetti2021]

23. I wear glasses

Otherwise I'd be blind

[SheltieLover]

25. You can get safety glasses

That are wrap arounds & fit over glasses. Cheap, too!

[vercetti2021]

26. Think that would be helpful?

Amazon or Walmart?

[SheltieLover]

29. Let me look.

Yes helpful! Anything that blocks aerosols!

Brb

[SheltieLover]

30. Both walmart & Amazon have them for $7 & up!

Here is Amazon site link:

https://www.amazon.com/safety-glasses-over-prescription/s?k=safety+glasses+over+prescription+glasses

Not sure if your walmart stocks them. (?)

[vercetti2021]

31. Thank you!

I'll check them out on Amazon

[SheltieLover]

32. You are most welcome!

The tighter the fit, the better, just like with masks.

Stay safe, my friend!

[vercetti2021]

33. I will

Thank you

[SheltieLover]

34. Yw!

Think of it according to seal, like swim goggles would be good. But has to go over regular glasses.

I often wear a hat with brim to keep potential aerosols hanging in air from dropping between face & glasses.

[vercetti2021]

35. Okay

I'll make sure they are on tight

[SheltieLover]

36. Are you allowed to wear a cap with brim at work?

Any baseball type cap would help too!

[vercetti2021]

37. Yes

Pepsi hats

[SheltieLover]

38. Awesome! Do you wear it?

Pull brim down to glasses to create barrier!

[vercetti2021]

39. Normally no

My hair is too long

[SheltieLover]

40. Pull hair into pony tail, twist it

& put up back of head & pull hat over the whole mess. Lol this is how I do grocery store, + mask, of course.

[vercetti2021]

41. I can just sleek it back

I've done that before

[SheltieLover]

42. That works too!

Pls wear hat?

[vercetti2021]

43. I will

I've been okay so far. But luck can only go so far

[SheltieLover]

44. Ty!

That's very true!

[vercetti2021]

45. I get scared

Like I fear I could die

[SheltieLover]

46. I'm sure you do!

I recall in late March went to grocery (masked up with glasses & hat on). I used to count the days from.potential exposure...

One night I coughed a few days after going to store. Got so damned scared I couldn"t move.

Then wrote a holographic will pronto!

[SheltieLover]

47. Have you tried to get a work from home job?

[vercetti2021]

48. Can't

My position I have to stock shelves

[SheltieLover]

49. I see

I thought maybe you might look for a different position to possibly work from home.

[vercetti2021]

50. Nope no positions available

A lot of those positions you need a college degree

[SheltieLover]

51. Hmmm

Try a look at virtualvocations.com - maybe customer service?

[vercetti2021]

52. I've never heard of that website

I have to look at it

[SheltieLover]

53. I hope you can find something virtual!

[vercetti2021]

54. Me too

I need to make a little more to help my folks. I already give them half of my check every two weeks

[SheltieLover]

55. Awwww

You are a real sweetie!

[vercetti2021]

56. I try

I lost my apartment due to the virus and had to move home.

[SheltieLover]

57. Gawd

Did you try virtualvocations.com?

[LizBeth]

2. Ah I remember you, Texas. I read an article saying Amarillo hospitals full and they were out

of beds so looks like it is up in that area. Bummer they are not into masks. I have a friend in here3ford. Her mom was in hospital for a month and died less than a week ago, because there were some that refused to wear a mask at a funeral for her sister in Lubbock that died of covid. Can you believe?

[SheltieLover]

3. Surreal!

[LizBeth]

4. It is. It blows my mind the inconsiderate that refuse a mask cause so much pain for others.

I think about my friend walking into the holiday season. The first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years not toasting in a new year with her mother. That is hard times.

And masks just are not a big deal. We have been doing it here since July, mandatory for all, and all do it. People are not even pulling it down from nose anymore.

[SheltieLover]

9. I've bn masking on trips for groceries & self-isolating since early March.

No big deal.

Yes, they are egocentric & unaware it seems. (Uneducable)

I sure wish virus could discriminate & only attack those who act that way.

[LizBeth]

13. Oh for sure, been masking since March but had the Republicans refusing. July the Gov said mandatory.

At first we had some that would take under their nose being asses. Now they do not even bother with that defiance, lol. I guess they got their asses reemed.

[SheltieLover]

17. When I went to vote last week

There were 2 ladies checking people in - verifying photo IDs.

One normal. One obvious tRumper - mask under nose, with face shield on.

So, in effect, all of her aerosols expelled through nose were directed at her hands, which she used to inspect my ID & to hand me a receipt & a pen.

I really hate them.

[LizBeth]

20. Ya, well, the ironic upside with these people is the number of receptors in the nose that holds the

covid virus. So, exhaling thru mouth, virus is trapped and nose free they are consuming the virus in the worse way possible. But I heaar you. I would have real problem. I am very particular who I am around, and my environment. If i have been isolating for 6 damn months I do not want to get it now.

I love my blue state.

[SheltieLover]

21. I thought about sayinng something

But was so angry about her mask, I feared I would get thrown out.

I am extremely particular who I am around as well & these rednecks really piss me off!

[LizBeth]

22. +1. I hear you. I do. I feel lucky being in blue. More of us than them.

[vercetti2021]

5. I'm so sorry

I'm sorry about your mom's friend. But yes Amarillo is very bad right now, and our alert levels are in the red. We have no more beds and they are flying people out of here to other places for treatment now. No one here cares anymore, but this is the second most GOP voting district in America. I don't expect people to believe it or they are just plain fucking stupid.

[LizBeth]

8. Truly mind boggling. They are also all that about being Christian. They hypocrisy is so beyond.

[vercetti2021]

11. Oh if you think that's bad

The McCloskeys paid a visit to our fine city to speak at a church hosted by the Potter county GOP.

I hate this place.

[LizBeth]

15. No way. No way... Those people went out to Amarillo? That is so so sad. Wow.

[vercetti2021]

16. I'm disgusted honestly

https://www.newschannel10.com/2020/10/23/st-louis-couple-who-waived-guns-protesters-speak-amarillo-church/

Like at a church of all places? Way to further taint your fine religion further

[LizBeth]

24. A whole different world there.

[vercetti2021]

27. Once you step out of this bubble

Feels like a completely different world

[LizBeth]

28. +1

[Laffy Kat]

7. This is the worst possible time to not be wearing a mask.

I'm sorry but IMO the people are simply stupid. No other explanation.

[LizBeth]

10. Ignorant. Yes. And they revel in it.

[vercetti2021]

12. Oh yeah it is

Especially here with us netting 200 to 400 new cases a day now.
