I’m good friends, or was, with someone I met through work. Without being outing, we work in an industry that’s generally accepted to employ intelligent people. She in particular was always good at her job.
Since covid there’s been times we’ve met up and she’s turned up with an ‘im exempt’ card round her neck, the ones you can get online to say you are exempt from the mask rule. I can’t believe they aren’t checked by medical professionals but guess that’s too big a job.
She’d got a few she even ordered me one. I told her wearing a mask protects others more than it protects you so I would wear it and also joked that it keeps you warm.
She said she’s read about face masks, they don’t do anything and that if people were worried they should stay in.
I also hear endless rants about the illuminati and how there’s a conspiracy and this has been planned for a long time.
I’m so fucking sick of it and if you even try to argue back she mocks and laughs at you. I also work in said job and can hold my own but this just makes me sad. I think lots of the government decisions are wrong and I have my own views on how best it could have been handled, as we all do, but is it so fucking much to put a face mask on?
I also now am feeling quite worried about being around her as clearly she isn’t doing anything to ensure she doesn’t get covid. We used to be very good friends and today I’ve just thought what the hell am I doing with her. Another shit thing about the year.
Just wanted to rant really. So fed up and joe feel I’ve lost a friend.
