Happy to oblige, you won't get any arguments from me. I don't give a damn about antimaskers or weird looks, but being a large solidly built middle-aged woman in steel caps can tend to put people off talking to me on public transport about their antimask bullshit. I'm the only one in my house with a job, and as a casual employee I can't afford time off due to totally preventable illness. The colds/flus/whatever they are going around at the moment are dynamite. My MIL is 90 and frail, my partner has many health issues, and I don't have time for people who think they're clever passing their ignorant bigotry towards the immunocompromised. I'm sorry you and Melba have had to deal with mean spirited inconsiderate twits. It's actually easier to be considerate anyway.
