As an asthmatic, I feel this. But I also get the paranoia that this has created and left in the minds of people that will not go away for a very very long time. 😢

Gotta get yourself a poster board to wear: “not infected, just asthmatic”

Good idea!
I’ve been saying the exact same words in meeting rooms when people stared every time I coughed. This is pre-covid. But still people would perceive it as flu-cough. I should have thought about getting a badge made or something to wear everyday 😆

A mask should be worn regardless.

You can have asthma AND covid. Wear a mask.

Why would you assume I don’t? A few weeks ago I posted about wearing a mask to the airport and getting pulled out of the boarding line to be interrogated despite telling them I’m asthmatic with allergies. This was back in Feb. I have people stare me to death because of my mask. No one wanted to sit beside me. I have been wearing masks to airport or any public place pre-Covid too.

But are you wearing a mask or face covering? Sometimes a visual aid helps people feel a bit safer

I’m sorry that happened to you OP. Where I live in NY, it’s the exact opposite where everyone is wearing a mask/face covering and the ones who don’t are ostracized as being risky/unaware. I understand the fear. I live with my father who has extremely high blood pressure and I’m constantly scared of bringing sickness home.

Also the stoners..🙋🏼‍♀️ lol

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
