Ordinary Average Guy
I'm taking a few days off work for a mental break. I'm done with everything at this moment.
This week one of my employees relayed that he was potentially exposed to a COVID-19 positive individual over the weekend. Personally, I don't care and realize his likelihood of being infected is slim to none. Anyways, my boss goes nuts when I divulge that we're not wearing masks, because no one here is wearing masks (we're in a facility with 225 people spread out over 220,000 sq. ft.). The lecture of disbelief, rage, and what not ensues for thirty minutes while I take an ear beating over the phone. The positive individual took a rapid test, turned positive, and feels perfectly fine today (two days after getting tested).
I'm disgusted by Americans. Personal freedom has been squashed and replaced with, "My mask protects you, yours protects me." Oh yeah? PROVE IT. I fully believe that people are getting sick now because of masks. If the mandates and shut downs and all the other stupidity work, California should be the safest place on earth right now as they had some of the strictest lock downs and regulations. It's also important not to forget how much cross-contamination there is with these masks, and our fingers/hands that touch everything and then touch our mask.
It goes against my every fiber, core belief, whatever you want to call it to concede to wearing these stupid, dirty masks.
This could go on forever, but in a nutshell, I'm just done with everything. It's been YEARS since I've been this mentally defeated, and I'm talking like high school years. This B.S. in 2020 has beat me down to the point of not caring anymore and feeling, well, I guess depressed. The wife and I still travel, still party with friends, still live life like normal, but there's no escape when this infiltrates your every public exposure and your place of employment.
