I remember spending $35 for ONE N95 mask in April 2020. I was put in a strict Quarantine by the pulmonologist at UTSW who had saved my life, in order to protect my remaining lungs. I’d spent 2019 in ICU & had to have 25% of my lower right lobe removed. My autoimmune disease, Sjogrens’s, attacked my lungs about 6 months before COVID entered the scene. After the surgery, I was on contiguous oxygen for over a year, well into COVID.
Would you like to know who fought masks the most? Church people, who “prayed me through “ that terrible year when I lay gasping like a dying fish. It was MUCH MORE important that they should be free to sing in church, without masks, than my fragile or lungs, or their parents/grandparents lives. At that point, we didn’t have the vaccine, masks & isolation were our only protection. They chose who THEY would isolate, I was never given a choice.

I haven’t been back to church since.
