Whenever I go out and buy something in the public market, I am feeling deprived of breath normally. For the reason that I am using a face mask. Coronavirus is really affecting our lives and the freedom to breathe is starting to be deprived.
What are your thoughts about the deprivation of breathing fresh air?

Yes, and now I wear face mask even if I go down to take a few rounds on my car within my residential society.

If I am at home, there is nothing to worry about. I can deal without wearing a face mask. I sometimes hang out at my balcony and enjoy the fresh air.
Going out with a face mask is just what I am whining about. However, I don't make a big fuss about it because I need to do it to stay safe.

I'm happy to protect myself and other people. Also, masks help us with pollen allergies.

Exactly how I feel my eldest in England complains a lot but I said at least you are not forced to wear that awful thing round your face that makes you too hot and stuffy in the nose.
I am also bothered about what kind of stuff that mask is made of too who knows does not say on the packet and it should do.
I take it off my face and put it back on when I get to the main street and then the gloves again.

We are being forced to wear them and that is really how it is otherwise you have to put that stuff on your hands and then plastic gloves on top otherwise you are not allowed into the food shops which are the only things that are open at the moment.

@Lolaze At first, I use two face masks when going out. But then, I really cannot breathe. So I only use one and keep doing social distancing. Lately, I don't go to a big supermarket. For the reason that some people don't do social distancing and keep on talking with me.

@Shavkat I’ve actually taken up wearing two masks. I read the more layers the better so I wewt a disposable one and a cloth one over it. Breathing sucks! Just walking through a grocery store has me out of breath and sweating - but I’d rather deal with that than the virus.

I can always have fresh air around our house; no need for face mask because nobody's round; and I do not go out(to the grocery) because I do not have a quarantine pass.

@acelawrites I am just wondering who is going out to buy for the family? If I may ask...

May I ask? What is a quarantine pass in the Philippines and how would you obtain one if you wanted to go out?

I wear my mask and gloves when I throw out the garbage too. I believe that bully is out on his porch and would report me if I did not wear my mask and cause me to have to pay a fine. I need every little bit of money we have. I hate having to wear both and going out. Nice to have a balcony isn't it?

I do not feel deprived because I go outside and sit on the parking lot and get breeze.

I don't like wearing a mask but I will to protect myself. I have severe COPD so I have to be super careful. I don't wear a mask when I am at home or at my sons taking care of my granddaughter. I have a mask in my vehicle at all times.

indeed corona has taken away our breath. We cannot go out and breathe fresh air. Hoping to have all things clear.
