I agree Patriot, have seen similar reports, the ones I have seen found influenza A or B or a combo. But Covid not found.
Cashier lost his mind and started shouting at me when I was talking to another person in line about covid being all or mostly fake. LOL. I don't know what the cashier's issue is but he's always been a bit short with me when I go to make a purchase at that 7-11. I'm sure he'd ask me to wear a mask but there's no solidarity in the store and the other cashier would just shame him by ringing up my purchase. He or someone else reported the other cashier for not wearing a mask at all so now the other guy wears his chin mask. He pulls it up, pulls it down, depending on how he feels. When he sees me he pulls it down over his chin and smiles.
Patriot, with all the Smart phones you would think they would really research this. I just have been challenged one on the mask, Is ad legal Reasons, I thought she was pretty fast approaching me, but appears she made better time making distance. I know I do not have to provide more then Legal reasons, the rest my Atty will do for me if need be. LOL, I have not worn a mask since this DS BS started.
Oh yes. Smart phones for dumb people who use them for laughs and texting Emojis. With smart phones you have a world of information at your fingertips but most people are too ignorant and lazy to use that function.
One of my friends asked me which is the best cell phone. I told him it doesn't matter. Get the cheapest one they have and use it. But no, he wants to rattle off a list of different brands and still demands to know which one is best. Over and over I told him "It doesn't matter". Finally in frustration I asked him what he uses a cell phone for. "Making calls and calling people" Me: "Do you text?" Well, sometimes he did but he never answers one of my texts. He sometimes uses it for facebook but not often. He doesn't use it to take photos for work. I told him, even the cheapest smart phone is good enough for him. Just get it and stop asking silly questions. I told him, "You don't really need a smart phone beyond calling and maybe a text message". Smart phones for dumb people.
Growing up being abused early on, I do have issues. I get a racing heart and anxious with any confrontation. So, needing to shop at Walmart to get some basics I was told to wear a mask and they were quite rude to me. I got agitated and pulled my t shirt over my nose. Then in a sort of defiance I made a "mask" from an old rag and a shoe string. It didn't help. I was constantly breathing in stale air, got anxious and couldn't really shop without my heart racing. About the third time this happened and I had to leave without getting what I wanted I went back and sat in my van totally exhausted emotionally and rested until my breathing returned to normal and I calmed down. Still I was depressed. If I even think there's going to be a confrontation over masks and I have to visit some establishment I procrastinate as long as possible while I get more and more depressed and anxious.
But, those first few days when I wore my homemade rag "mask" and had to retreat to my vehicle to rest I one day had an abrupt long forgotten memory. At four years old my six year old brother found my father's sword he used to decapitate chickens. He forced me to march around with the sword pointed at me. Then he stood atop my father's boat and ordered me to stand below while he urinated on me. Each time I would run off crying and he'd jump down, march me back at sword point and order me to stand there. Whole time I was crying in terror. Then he did the unthinkable. He ordered me to lay down on the dirt and sat on top of me. He said he was going to kill me and proceeded to smother my nose and mouth with his hands. I fought back in terror as best a four year old can. This went on for some time with my five year old sister watching from the side. When my brother finally got tired of fighting me to smother me he ordered my sister to take over while he supervised. Fortunately she deliberately left a crack in her fingers for me to breath and got quiet. I realized what she was doing and lay still and slowly breathed through her fingers. My brother finally tired of this "game" and let me up. Wow. Just retelling this makes my heart feel heavy. Same as being told to wear a mask makes me anxious and ready to fight. After I realized why it made me so anxious I resolved to never let anyone order me to wear a mask for any reason.
I will make an exception for the 3M mask that comes with detachable filters and valves because we only wear them when the air is toxic and they are amazing. With them you get clean odor free air free of heavy metals which occur when doing welding in confined spaces.
