I live in Alabama and just yesterday at the thrift store someone came up to me and asked if i had a mask after walking around for 10 minutes. I said I had a medical condition and left. I felt like saying "I am smart enough to know that this is a scam" or "I am not an animal to be muzzled" or "I don't wear a diaper on my face" but I held my tongue and will not be going there anymore!!! It was the first time in a long time but I have never worn one and refuse to. I seriously just want to wear a sign on my chest that says do you realize that those masks reduce the amount of oxygen that your body needs to keep you healthy and that they are actually making you sick and that most of the deaths from the spanish flu were a result of bacterial infections from the masks they were wearing. ARGH! I feel for you.
