I got some masks from cost-co last night. $13 for 3 so not the cheapest but you can alter the ear loops to fit.

They seem ok and will be great if my home made ones fall apart lol

I've had stuff from China far quicker. The really irritating part is all that "there's been a delay, normally it's x days but allow a week on top of that" when it's already been 2x plus 10 days. And that's not including the email addresses that allow replies but your acknowledgment says you'll get a response within 2 days only for that response to then say the email account is not monitored.

I'd given up. Better late than never I suppose. I wonder if they refunded too I'll check later.

Another Karen acting up over being asked to wear a mask.

Let her in, strap her down, and do some good aggressive thorough root planing. Because of chance of transmission by the spray from the untrasonic de-scaler, only hand tools are allowed. The customer is always right.
Don't piss someone off who may be working in your mouth with real sharp steel stuff.

The dentist I went to recently since they reopened, no waiting inside the office, you call 10 minutes before your appointment and they screen you (just ask if you have a cough, fever, or sore throat or tested positive in the last 30 days) and then give you a time to come to the door, once at the door, they buzz you in, tell you which chair to go to, and you sit, then the dental workers came in, mask and face shields.

They are not requiring patients to wear a mask since the patient is only in the office for their actual appointment and work, and can't wear a mask and get dental work done....lol

Oh I dunno. Just poke a couple of sharp tools through the mask and prod about. I'm sure the dentist could do it from memory with the odd howl to guide him.

Is it safe?

They cause enough discomfort when they can see what they are poking and prodding.

I wouldn't want to be a ENT doctor right now either, dentist and ENT both seem kind of on the higher risk side with COVID.

Has this one be posted yet? If anything these anti-mask oddities are making for good entertainment on the internet.

Another calmer anti-mask person enters as well, but at least she helps clean the mess up while agreeing with the loud one, and throw in a remark about natives being biggest alcoholics when she asked the store employees about alcohol, and the store employee explains the store in on an Indian land and the tribe doesn't permit alcohol sales on their land.

Turns out she runs a public relations firm in Arizona, I hope her clients pull their bussiness.

I hadn't seen that one but there was a different one in the same place. Possibly same person.
Ah yes. So she must have done this at least twice then. There was a comment previously about bad publicity being okay...something like that.

I posted the first one in What Made Me Smile because right at the end I liked the handcuff noise. Did the Reddit one happen first? Maybe now that she's a repeat mask raider and her work is in jeopardy she'll get some help.

This is so sad. A bus driver in Bayonne, France has died after being attacked by passengers. He'd asked them to wear a mask, which is mandatory on public transport in France.

I almost think society as we know it has reached its breaking/end point, and not just because of the virus, but it seems to be the push over the cliff so to speak.

spouse of scouse

It certainly seems like that when we read about some of the things people are doing. Probably worth remembering though that most of us are the same people we've always been, although watching/reading the news some days we could be forgiven for thinking that the entire world's lost the plot.

BristolUK

With good reason. Without getting political, a lot of that is coming from the top. "If they can't behave themselves why should I" sort of thing.

spouse of scouse

I sort of agree with that, but individuals can't be absolved from responsibility for their own behaviour either.
