I guess I have good stamina from wearing one for 12 hours+ as a nurse in the ER taking care of people who get sick from not following reasonable, evidence based, guidelines....
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your service. I can't fathom what it's like to be an ER nurse in this time.
My experience as a musician and teacher can't compare, but as long as we're sharing mask stories - I still haven't found the perfect solution to my glasses not fogging up, so I find myself playing piano for classes and rehearsals masked, constantly switching between glasses on and off (I can see pretty ok without, but on is better) - which is annoying. But still I persist. Meanwhile, today I taught a 3-hour class, masked, and tonight I did a 2-hour rehearsal, masked. Wednesday, another 3-hour class with mask, followed by an opening night at a local theatre, where, yes, we have to remain masked during the show. And you know what? I'm not gonna complain about it because it's what we have to do to keep everyone safe right now. And that's more important. And I think that's enough (not "enuf") on the subject. :-) |
