When Duct Tape Won't Do
I was out in the grocery shopping yesterday for some essentials when I all of a sudden had a bad need to cough, as I'm sure that those who have asthma know what I mean. And so I did, conscientiously with handkerchief on mouth, and still to the horror of the few people in the aisle where I was. And to my horror, they were so visibly bothered like I was a person with SARS. Now wait a minute. SARS -- the sinister twin to the double whammy that has beset us the past month. I've been paying attention, of course, but I was really more focused on the war. Besides, I didn't think it would finally come to a point where I would be wary and consider it as a clear and present danger, until now.
Are masks in order now? Well, I might as well be tied up in a noose if I were gonna step out of the house looking like Hannibal Lecter, with nose and mouth covered by those tacky and uncomfortable covering like you would see on people in Hong Kong. Besides, the thought alone is already suffocating my poor asthmatic system even more. Why, would it be so insensitive for me to think that it's okay that I cough when I am out, knowing that this is asthma induced and I am not running a fever? But then again I am thinking, what if I were out somewhere and somebody from nowhere coughs or sneezes within 5 feet radius or closer around me? Hell, that might start to freak me out, specially after reading this.
I guess I'm gonna run to the drugstore and buy me a pack of surgical masks. Hopefully it will save my life.
