My dad wears a mask, it saddens me.
He said it's because of his teeth being gone, which I understand, but it's fear of exposure, like muslims or anyone/anything else; psychological.
He could fix his teeth, but prefers to cover them up until....?
A dangerous & devastating manifestation of procrastination & shame.
What's worse is it's the mask I gave him 3 1/2 years ago, an N99 that's used for like working in grain silos. You're supposed to change the filter on a schedule & wash it, or maybe toss it after a few moths after exhausted filters & velco strap replacements.
It looks like it's been living in a truck stop parking lot for a month.
