#CovidConscious ❤️tips🧵1/On🤞🏾 surviving a long dental appointment.🦷 Quick ‘Kia Ora!’ Initially-no extraneous pleasantries (you can stay gracious AND allow 0 time for potential prevarication).
Walk in (obv masked) plug in HEPA-*IGNORE* huffing & puffing (switch on MAX settings)

2/ Offer N95s to the dentist & nurse(s).
EXPECT- as I received: “Oh (*Implicit tone - Texan style: BLESS YOUR HEART!*) we don’t do that anymore! But okay, we have some, nurse will just go get them.” Internal voice: Damn right you will, mfs.

3/What I said out loud, deadpan: “Oh wow, you guys are immune from Covid? Wow. That’s amazing.”

4/ I’m still masked. We talked through the procedures, order in which he would perform them, & selected the Netflix for me to zone out to. Meanwhile, nurse returned with N95s. I’ll train them eventually, & we won’t have to go through this faff & unmasked [them] wait every time.
5/Everyone in the room ‘hears’ the unspoken rule. You mfs stay masked, until I leave. Receptionist & other staff were 🤡 faced, mouth-breathers. That’s okay for fleeting contact to pay and 🏃🏾♀️ Good luck, whānau!✨We don’t have to like folks who don’t GAF if we’re brain damaged.❤️
