Not that it's important, but Trump is not wearing a mask because he has tested negative for having had the virus. He can't give it to anyone, and according to medical professionals, the masks we commoners can get won't prevent us from getting the virus because you can't get a secure seal. The only reason I could see for him to wear one is to be an example to the rest of us, IF the CDC states we should all be wearing them. The only problem is, according to our pharmacy, they can't order masks for their customers because supplies are being held back to be distributed to medical facilities as needed. Therefore, since we are old and have not been tested and could harbor the virus without showing symptoms, I will be making some DIY masks for us to wear to protect other people when we have to do grocery shopping. That's the only time we leave the house and boy are we bored!

I was given a paper mask today when I had my thyroid ultrasound.

It was pretty useless and I spent the majority of the time adjusting it - i.e. touching my face!

Stop perverting the English language. The word "pretty" must NEVER be used except in the context of beauty otherwise its as retarded as saying "pretty ugly". Its one of the things which sickenize me.
