You know I really do understand that. Maybe my statement was a bit dramatic. But I'm getting a bit tired of those going on and on about their liberties being violated. I'd feel pretty violated if I, or someone I care about, got sick or god forbid died, because someone was exercising their liberty instead of being safe.
The experts said masks do nothing so we wouldn’t grab them up. They wanted them for frontline medical people and there weren’t enough. To me it never made sense. They just should have told us the truth and maybe it wouldn’t be imbedded in so many that they don’t do anything. Medical staff always wore masks before, in my doctors office I was told to put one on if I was sick before, they have purpose.
So what should she do? As mom says do I have to wait until I am 88 to go out, until there is a vaccine? Either way I increase my chances of dying, stay inside the apartment and I have less mobility and my body shuts down or I go outside, have mobility and catch the virus. Her chances of not getting sick outside are better if others are wearing a mask, until they prove otherwise.
Definitely is, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I have an 85 year old mom, too, so I understand the issues there. On the flipside, my mother lives in assisted living and I feel like she's being held hostage there. Trust me, I understand that ALL residents need protecting, but my mother wants to see her family and we want to see her . It really makes my brain want to explode that she's at the sunset of her life and I'm prevented from spending time with her.
The fact that you fail to understand the comparison is what's laughable.

I"m not sure what you are trying to say here but let me re-state what I was trying to convey : I understand and respect the policies of elder-care facilities. But I can still be upset, frustrated, etc that I cannot see my mother. I'm upset with the situation , not the policies. I think everyone is entitled to feel frustration and anger at this entire deal-io.
Fair enough. I was just trying to indicate that I don't need anyone lecturing me on why senior facilities need these rules. I think 99.9% would understand why there are such strict rules around them.
Wondering if the use of the word "you" should be banned from a post such as this. When I express my own feelings it is the word "I " that indicates my point of view. As soon as I introduce the word "you" -- I have drifted away from my own thoughts and feelings -- and may open the door to negative comments directed towards another.
