Just spent the last three days shivering and sweating in a pile of blankets because of RTO. Get fucked, rich asses.
I support y’all wearing masks, but fuck a mask when it’s above 90°F and I’m doing manual labor. I need to drink about 32oz an hour and at that rate I’m yanking the mask down constantly, and meanwhile the humid air from my breath is making me sweat through the mask. It was a nightmare. I’d rather just fucking die.
100%. You are not the problem, the problem is the government and its corporate controllers who decided to just let it run rampant.
yeah masks in hot weather are very unpleasant
They’re pretty great in cold weather, though. No chapped lips!
indeed
Are you talking outside? Even at the height of the pandemic there was no reason to wear a mask unless you where going to a rock concert or such. I usually only had one on outside when going into or coming from indoors like a store or such.
Factory labor. You think they’re gonna waste money on air conditioning?
my condolences. hot is bad enough. stale hot. yuck.
I was gonna get one of those respirators with active fans in them but never did.
I just caught it, too. :( Without traveling and while still being cautious (but not wearing a mask literally everywhere), fully vaccinated, all that.
This is my second time getting it and it is absolutely not milder than it was the first time.
ugh that sucks :(
Get vaccinated or die!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cases are most likely increasing in 39 states and aren’t declining anywhere in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — evidence that an anticipated summer wave is underway.
“It looks like the summer wave is starting to begin,” said Dr. Thomas Russo, chief of infectious diseases at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Covid infections have historically spiked over the summer, in part because of an increase in travel and people congregating indoors, where it’s cooler.
A preprint paper released this month, which hasn’t been peer-reviewed, suggests that LB.1 is more infectious than the “FLiRT” variants and could be better at evading protection from vaccines or previous infections.
Experts said cases will probably continue to rise as people retreat indoors to escape this month’s punishing heat wave and gather to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Russo recommended that people who are the most vulnerable to infection — those who are older or immunocompromised or engage in riskier activities, such as attending large parties or gatherings — consider getting the latest Covid vaccine now if they haven’t already.
