In-N-Out Burger bans employees from wearing masks unless they have a doctor's note - Lemmy.world

Most people I know are only wearing masks now if they catch colds and flus and don’twant to spread it when going out and n public.

Which seems to me to be when you’d WANT your food service employee (whom you probably forced to work while sick) to wear one, so that they don’t spread it to the rest of your staff. But I guess I’m not a fast food company, corporate executive, so what do I know?

The vast majority of people here do not wear masks. My frickin mom, who has cancer and a heart condition, has even stopped wearing one when she has an issue and has to go to the MFin emergency room. WTF. I had COVID like 2.5 years ago so probably alpha based on the timing and it was a mild case but it WRECKED me. My only symptom was a really bad headache one day then a mild headache for about a week where it just felt like I needed more coffee, any caffeine addicts out there would know what I mean. But after I had the worst cognitive defects that I could barely finish a sentence, couldn’t remember common words, etc. It was awful. It didn’t get better after vaccination, which I got for the first time about 2 months after the infection. I’m much better now but still not how I was. I don’t want to get this again even after having had it and all available vaccines and I can’t fathom why anyone else who has had it wants it again.bi can’t understand sick and old people who walk around bare faced. I can’t understand healthy people who want to risk it. Why, people?

Had to get some blood work done at the local hospital. Signage everywhere basically saying “You don’t have to wear a mask but you are really stupid if you aren’t wearing one in the waiting room or basically anywhere there are patients”. I was probably the only person in the entire building to have one on.

I am triple or quadruple vaccinated or whatever we are up to at this point. I’ve also managed to catch covid enough times from my (old) work that I am pretty confident I don’t have the long covid genes. So if I am going to be eating and drinking somewhere, I’ll not bother with a mask as I am screwed already. But if I am going to a store or watching a show or whatever? Wearing a mask costs me next to nothing (kn95s are pretty cheap) and means I don’t get convention flu anymore. And, honestly? It is nice if I forgot to shave this morning or whatever.
