Lucky you never had to wear a snot pouch. I did have to, although mostly in medical situations where turning around and walking out was not an option. Although it is kind of funny. My mom was in a NH for rehab in Jan of this year. They 'required' masks, so I would put it on, and pull it down to my chin. No one ever said anything to me. Technically, I was wearing it, but not properly. About half of the staff was the same way. The other half kept it up the entire time, but never called me out for my mask infraction.

Ah! Yes, those fine "Americans" in the no longer "Live Free or Die" state of NH. We had a small house there in far northern NH. We escaped there until we sold everything and moved to FL.

As for "medical" situations? These last three years have confirmed for me my low opinion of most of them. I have dedicated my life to avoiding them, only submitting to seeing them if I sustain an injury. That happened in 2017. Time before that was 2003, and it was then that I decided to only see one of these "white coats" if I were injured. Otherwise, with rare exception, these are very dangerous people. They think otherwise, of course, but any trained "medical" professional should absolutely know beyond doubt that snot pouches are useless -- except for maybe intercepting snot and isn't that what we have tissues for?

BTW, these fine Granite Staters should know -- had they read Doofus Sununu's "order" on these useless things that essentially no one had to wear a snot pouch. Ever. But who bothers to read anymore or simply stand on principle and tell these losers in their scrubs to pound sand?

Well my mom is 84 and lots of dr appts. She doesn't drive any more so I would take her and hold my tongue about the masks, just to keep the peace. She was a believer although I think she is coming around.
