A real interaction between a pharmacy cashier and a customer that I overheard with my very own ears in Crooksville, OH, last week.
Granted, I didn’t have high expectations for the combination pharmacy-hardware store, but WOW.
What shocking covid-related things have you encountered lately?
I got my new vaccine in a small, unventilated room from a pharmacist who only wore a mask after I asked her to. The people ahead of me in line weren’t wearing masks, either.
How much did it cost? They’re $180 here without insurance. The health department gives them out free to the uninsured, but they don’t have the new boosters yet.
Owner of auto shop the other day: “yeah after i got covid the third time my doctor told me i don’t gotta worry about it anymore”
I also haven’t seen a masked pharmacist at either of the pharmacies I’ve been to around here in two years.
I wonder if the doctor actually said that or got sick of dealing with his dumbass patient and went “Fuck it. Go get murked by a preventable illness.”
My pulmonary doctors entire office will not wear masks.
A fucking pulmonary doctor and his entire staff do not mask.
Yeah… I’m not immunocompromised but I am high risk due to my lung problems… a recent visit I went in, wearing a mask. I asked the gal at the desk if they had masks, and she sort of pointed to a table nearby and said if I had someone with me they were welcome to a mask from over there.
I told her ‘no maam, for yall. I have emphysema and I am at high risk of hospitalization or worse if I were to get a Covid infection.’
She told me the staff was vaccinated, and that we could be seated and the dr would see me shortly.
I left. I’m looking for a new pulmonologist but seeing as I’m from a small town in hillbilly Texas my options are few. I may actually be stuck w this doctor.
In the before-times no staff anywhere, at least that I knew, would ever have refused to wear a mask for a patient request. It is absurd how blatantly politicized this genuinely unprecedented virus is to where all social norms are essentially evaporating to a collective trauma around… a few weeks of very lenient stay-home policies in some places, I guess. We’re so cooked lol

This shit right here is why I still view provax libs as just as bad as antivax chuds, just 2 different ways to ignore science and continue the spread
Had to go to my doctor to renew a prescription and confirm that my stomach hadn’t exploded (it hadn’t). Nobody was wearing masks except one old lady in the waiting area, including the doctor.
Death to America.
I work for a company that is contracted by a large corporation along with another company. The only place that has PPE in the area we work is my work room and I don’t even interact with as many people as most other people do. And it was PPE I ordered myself on top of that. Why none of the management in any of the other companies doesn’t order PPE for their employees is kind of mind boggling. I always tell people who pass by to get some gloves or masks that they can take a box since I have multiple and I have plenty stockpiled.
