I have a physical disability that makes a lot of things hard to do. I can’t really have hobbies or a job if my brain declines. That’s one of the biggest reasons I still care about covid prevention. That and death (immunocompromised).

    Caught COVID last December working my retail job. I mask up but a lot of customers do not. For the holiday rush, I was transferred to a smaller location with short ceilings and no ventilation.

    I took my two weeks off but unfortunately passed on the COVID to my medically fragile 15- month baby daughter.

    Even with my wife isolating me in our one-bedroom apartment while my two ladies slept in the living room. They had to.stay in the hospital for a few days including Christmas 😔

    Since then, my sense of smell has decreased significantly. And I remain the only one of my several retail co-workers that continues to mask. I live in a left-leaning city, which means 1 in every 5 or 6 customers does mask.

    My work provides the basic hosputal-like mask but I need.to research something with more protection but that is still comfortable to wear for an 8, 10, even 12 hour shift.
