Mar 4, 2025, 3:58 PMYesterday I had to go for a blood draw.
I wore a mask.
A small child asked their mother, 'why are they wearing masks'
Mom (with contemptuous tone) "I don't know. Maybe they're sick."
Me: NOPE! I just respect the workers.
.. I wish I'd added, "and patients who may be immune-compromised."
But it was enough to get the point across and I could feel her seethe.
Thinking of someone other than yourself is the ultimate crime in Trump's America.
