#smokeprevention — Public Fediverse posts

Strange situation this afternoon… I had to duck up to West Ashgrove… and I was on a time schedule because I had left it a bit late in the afternoon. I needed to be home by 6PM… and it was already approaching 4…

So walking there was out, and there was a little smokiness in the air. I haven't been riding in a while, so didn't think jumping on the bike was a good idea but it was a tempting prospect. The bus won out.

Donned my mask, wandered up to the bus stop. Sitting there, someone in a van pulls up and the passenger beckons me over. Not quite sure what they were about, I stated I was waiting for a bus.

They were curious about the mask and wondered if it was for COVID-19. I said yes, but also smoke (which was my bigger concern). They then went on a brief rant about there being too much technology, blamed the vaccines for causing it, then stated "I'm with you, brother", before the pair drove off.

Yeah… don't think you are actually. There are reasons for opposing 5G LTE, but COVID-19 is not one of them. Clearly a conspiracy theorist.
