My roommate has been going to work in construction, where a majority of his coworkers are conservatives and think that COVID is either a hoax, or overblown. His foreman has cancer, and still refuses to take precautions. He goes to work wearing a mask like this, and a faceshield, every day. Since he does so, he's been harassed and referenced as an "Antifa terrorist" for it. He just doesn't want to die, and doesn't want to put me at greater risk, while paying the bills. It's caused a lot of stress, and I worry for his sake.

These are the masks that I had to sneak away from my 65 yo mom, who grew up with an inherited depression era mentality that will never go away. She put on a new mask in front of me when I asked, but I found these stashed away, and so I’m taking them home with me, because I know just throwing them in the garbage at her house won’t be good enough. She’ll pick them out.
