You might want to seek help for your OCD. It’s obviously making you very unhappy.

When I complained it was hard for me to breathe wearing the mask and I almost passed out the Health Director had three choices:

1. Try to repeal the mask mandate.
2. Express compassion, let me know that my experience qualifies as a medical exception (no doctor's note needed per the ordinance), and offer to let the library know or give me a letter that I would not need to wear a mask there. Note if I really do have a psychological issue like OCD this also qualifies, as schoolchildren with behavioral issues are exempted from the mandate.
3. Double down on the mask mandate (even while he took off his own mask in city hall the night of our meeting so he could be more clearly heard on his cell phone).

He chose #3.

Have you even tried any of the suggestions made to you such as the 2 I made of trying a surgical mask or getting the contraption that holds a cloth mask away from your face? Wouldn't that be an easier endeavor than the quixotic attempt to overturn public health requirements?

I have tried a variety of masks including the KN95. The medical grade masks were even worse.

Not only did the Health Director not care about me (he is probably mad from all the times over the years I reported that the trash, recycling and yard waste are not picked up) but he showed no compassion towards the library employees working 8 hours a day in stifling conditions.

During the BOH meeting I repeatedly grabbed the mask and held it away from my face letting a gap of air get in so I could breathe. Masks are just horrible and disgusting like burkas are.

Well, that Master of English has demonstrated previously they don't have a vaguely passing understanding of the origins and development of the English language. Odds are they don't comprehend Old English or even Middle English. Or anything before the Great Vowel Shift. Let's take bets on Norse, German, French comprehension...

But, yes, Master.

what a fascinating subject. Thanks for posting. Now back to the same (approaching two year) argument.

I typed up a letter to the ACLU of Massachusetts asking if they can help me get my rights back. I will mail it sometime this three day weekend when I go to the grocery store.

It would be a whole lot easier to just move to Florida or any of the other pro-virus states.

No one is pro virus, just like no one is pro abortion.

If I give up that reinforces moral hazard - that everyone must bear the costs and restrictions of the anti-vaxxers rather than them being made to bear responsibility for their choices.

I do look at houses elsewhere, both in less restrictive communities in Mass and in New Hampshire and some towns in Vermont that are not restrictive. But the market is so crazy now. I could sell my house but then be unable to buy another one because I keep getting outbid. Things need to calm down a little.

Chicago Public Schools let parents know on Friday that if their unvaxxed kids travel this weekend, they will have to isolate at home when they return. The problem a lot of people have is that they announced this Friday. Earlier in the week would have been better.

Here is a cute house I saw, but I am not a fan of private water and a septic system that is only 1000 gallons.

It would be good for when I get old because it's all one story.

New Hampshire is the live free or die state.
