Living in Fear and Fearing to Live is Not the Answer

      People have been told to mask up, to avoid gatherings, to distance and to pretty much stay home since March 2020. I believe that it is harmful to just say home all of the time and destroy your immune system by being well, germophobic. 

    I do not want to go into why I believe all of this has been pointless and harmful. I just want to state that I have a family member who has feared the virus from day one. He stayed home, had people who happened to visit his home get temperature checks before entering. He took all precautions he was told to take to avoid getting sick.

    He has not gone into the store since told to isolate. He has his food either delivered or picks it up outside the stores. 

    He faithfully wears his mask wherever he happens to go which is pretty much just outside or to pick up food, curbside.

    He sanitizes his hands regularly to the point of obsession.

     He sanitizes his home to the point of obsession. 

    He is fearful of Covid...to the point of obsession. 

    He is the perfect example of what the 2020 health gurus want people to be, masked, isolated, and pretty much germophobic. 

    Oh and he got his flu shot too...

    Well guess what! He got the flu, a bad case of the flu. Granted it was not Covid but the flu virus spreads the same way as Covid,  through droplets. So shouldn't the mask have protected him? It might have if masks worked.

    The flu is just as deadly to the elderly as Covid.

    What this tells me, what I already knew, is that all of the measures the government is having people take are pointless. If you are going to get sick, you are going to get sick! 

    So they need to unmask us, they need to stop spreading such fear and let people live. This man has not lived for months due to fear and yet got sick anyhow. 

     Yes I am angry, I am angry that the politicians and mainstream media are using fear tactics resulting in peoples submission to their demands. Many people are living in fear, so scared of illness that they are not living. 

    Don't get me wrong, I do not fault those who are scared and wear masks, and follow what  the politicians are telling them to do. I am just saying that at the end of the day if you are going to get sick, you are going to get sick and none of it really makes much difference. If it makes people feel better by all means, do it however there are actual cases that show it is redundant.

    I hope that people wake up soon and realize that none of this is working! People still get sick!  Almost 8 months later, people still get Covid and now we have the flu to contend with.....Just wash your hands, eat well, stay home of you are sick and stay away from sick people. At the end of the day though even that might not be enough. You might get sick. But living in fear or rather fearing to live is not the answer.

LUSH Discriminates, Bosa Irritates - Two Places I Will Not Give My Business Anymore

      I love the products they sell at LUSH and used to go there before the politicians locked down the country and close small businesses. I was excited when they opened again. Couldn't wait to purchase the products I love.  I love Bosa donuts, they are one of my guilty pleasures....I refer both of these places to my friends and family every chance I get. That ended yesterday. I will no longer shop at LUSH or Bosa Donuts. 

     I am first of all a believer of the science that says masks are simply just a placebo and I also believe the science that says it is harmful to wear one for hours and that they destroy our immune systems. But that is not the issue here....my issue is related to masks though.

     When the mandate in my area was ordered I knew that I had to wear one to work, so I tried to wear one in the store, I almost passed out after 20 minutes of masking. I had to hold on to the cart taking the thing off so I could breathe. I discussed this with my doctor and he said that I can wear a shield. He wrote the medical paper stating that I can wear a shield instead of a mask. He also told me that I did not have to tell anyone what my medical issue is, and I don't have to show my medical proof. That is a legal violation of my rights. My work did not ask....I actually had no issues until November 7, 2020. 

     I hate wearing the shield, it is still difficult and after wearing it all day I find my sinuses hurt but, I can at least do it. I wear it into businesses not because I want to or agree with masking but so that they can remain open. No one has denied me the right to shop because of my shield until yesterday. 

    The first place I went to was an antique store. I do not remember the name of the store so did not mention them but will not shop with them again. After I had been in the store about 20 minutes an employee came up to me holding a mask and told me I needed to wear one inside the store. I told her I had a medical reason I could not wear one. She said that did not matter, I had to wear one to shop there. I said "Even with a medical reason?"  She told me yes. So I put on her little mask because I had a couple of things I wanted to purchase and they were from vendors not the store. I held the mask away from my face so I could breathe. I paid, and left never to return to that store.

    The second place was LUSH in the mall at Chandler Fashion in Chandler, Arizona. I waited outside their door to go inside. The employee came up and told me to enter their store I needed to put on a mask. She said they had some I could buy. I told her I had a medial reason I had on a shield and can't wear a mask. She said it was company policy. I mentioned it was a medical reason again but she said I could not shop there. So I was discriminated against because I have a medical reason to cover my face with a shield instead of cloth.  This is a company choice because no other store or business has required this. Just the two places I mentioned.  I love LUSH products but will not purchase them. I will not go online to purchase them. They lost a customer in me because they discriminate against people. 

     Now on to Bosa, they did not discriminate but they ticked me off. I will no longer purchase from them. I have been there several times to purchase donuts either for myself or other people. They are my go to donut shop. There was never a problem until last night.  I was in my car at the drive up window. They said I needed to put a mask on inside my car to buy donuts from them. Seriously! I was lower than her, she had a plastic flapping shield and I was far away. I did not plan to spit on her and I was in my car! There is no way I will wear a mask or my shield in my car. So that said, I will no longer go to Bosa.

     I respect the right of people to wear a mask if they are scared, or believe they help.  I wear my annoying shield places to respect that right...I hate it and believe it is pointless but I know other people believe the scientists who say it is the thing to do. I respect their right...but they need to respect mine too...regardless I wear my shield and have a medical reason for that so no business has the right to refuse service....well I guess they do but I have the right to report them to the ADA if I want to and to never shop there again....oh and to write this blog... I will also never wear a mask in my own car.....I have that right still and again also have the right to no longer do business with places that refuse to serve me if I do not mask in my car....

   So farewell LUSH for discrimination and Bosa for just ticking me off.

   PS the photo in this blog is not the shield I wear. It was my Halloween costume shield.
