(11,609 posts)They'll have guests that say we need to be nice to these people. We can't call them stupid, covidiots, morons, selfish, etc. We mustn't mask shame them or admonish them if they want to dine at a restaurant or do holiday get togethers. We're supposed to be polite and and gently nudge them into doing the right thing. A tiny part of me sees what their saying but a larger part wanted to throw something at my TV and say "Fuck that noise!" So many people would be a alive or not suffering from permanent disability if more people would've sucked it up and wore a mask. I don't blame you for being irritated.
My late maternal grandparents spent their tween, teen, and young adult years under Nazi oppression. After the war, after having spent a few years in a Soviet gulag, my grandfather was released and reunited with his wife and the son he didn't get to see until he was 1 1/2. All three were malnourished. It still took several more years for them to get back on their feet an live a normal life. They eventually emigrated to the US in the early fifties with their growing family with the help of an American sponsor. I doubt that they or my other grandparents, one of whom was a WW2 veteran, would've had much sympathy or patience with these dumbasses.
