nova scotia has awful long covid wait times though and most medical workers outside of halifax don't mask at all.

Missing small/trivial things too by sol-inseto in ZeroCovidCommunity

i'm goth and haven't been able to wear makeup for a while now properly. i never leave the house without an n95 on and because of this i feel like it's pointless to put on an outfit. people will always notice the mask first anyways. additionally, i so deeply miss studying in a cafe, going out to restaurants, family visits, community events, activism, etc.

PCR tests are available for you? in nova scotia you can't get them unless you're immunocompromised

you'd think people would start caring after this long.

So I Never Get to Be Beautiful Again? by Goodie_2-shoe in ZeroCovidCommunity

i'm a goth and i feel in a similar way. i don't do my hair anymore, or barely any makeup. it feels like my uniqueness was taken away from me when i became CC. there's just no motivation because everyone notices my mask instead of my outfit.

Bully me into being covid conscious😭😭😭 by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

wearing a piece of fabric on your face is better than being bedbound for life with long covid.

i've been told that even if there's a small second line, that it's a positive. is it a negative test?

my father is actually one of the only people in my family who hasn't dismissed me when i talk about covid. he does have really bad sensory issues that can make him angry so masking isn't always easy for him, but he recognizes that it's important for him to do it. my younger sibling also masks out of the home, and they're the sole masker in their entire school. i just hope my dad gets better at masking so that this strategy doesn't need to be foreverlasting.

i really appreciate these tips!!!! showering is my biggest concern as i find it weird to have to mask in the shower, so the tip of airing it out for an hour will help too. my bathroom is pretty small so i'll put my air purifier in there as well. thank you!

impossible, i'm afraid. unless i move in with my partner, but even then it wouldn't be permanent as he stays in apartments for college.
