COVID mask accidents and other ruminations

I had better luck than this driver, who passed out while driving with an N95 surgical mask, but is there anyone else out there who has trouble breathing through these things?

Okay, I have N90 masks, but still. Its hot and stuffy in there!

I did manage to glove and mask up for our bi-monthly COSTCO  run (Cabo COSTCO now requiring masks), make it to the parking lot and finish shopping without passing out. But yikes.

Returning to the sanctity of my car I  was then confronted with how to take off the mask without dumping all of the accumulated COVID particles all over the place, so with my still gloved hands I simply pulled the mask forward until the rubber bands broke.

This was not the best idea I have ever had as the one inch welt on my neck where a rubber band snapped back and smacked my flesh real good. So I am officially part of the COVID morbidity statistics.

Maybe I should have watched a few YouTube videos on how to actually use this medical equipment!

Tomorrow's column will discuss safety tips surrounding the IV injection of Lysol.

Stay safe kids!
