I didn’t do none of that shit. I worked outside, so I never even stopped working.

I work in commercial buildings, electrical maintenance. They all shut down…except hospitals. I worked nothing but hospitals all of 2020. Covid wards and all. I had scar tissue from the nose clip on the n95 masks.

It was really fucking frustrating with the conspiracy theorists claiming there were no viral cases when I just got back from Stanford Children’s Hospital where half the building had been converted into a covid ward, new patients were arriving every few minutes flown in from regional ICUs, and nurses and doctors were sleeping on the floor from exhaustion.

Same. I’m from the UK so people used to come out at whatever time to clap for the NHS workers. The fun bit was there were no NHS workers near us but I would get home just in time to be applauded by my entire street for working like normal.

Thursday nights at 8pm in my neck of the woods. There used to be one excited happy clapper who banged pans or pot lids together in half an hour sessions

I worked at walmart and was therefore ‘essential.’ The only way my life changed was I had to wear a mask, got screamed at a tiny bit more and people would look absolutely HORRIFIED when I sneezed.

I push carts

I have OCD and even over a year prior to the pandemic would wear gloves and use sanitizer constantly

It was hilarious when the only change I needed to make was wearing a mask, meanwhile everybody else had to adjust
