Puyallup woman with oxygen tank says she was shamed for not wearing mask

Sharing her story has become a way for 29-year-old McKenzie Swider to cope.

In 2018, the wife and mother was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal respiratory illness. Swider said the illness means she brings an oxygen tank with her everywhere she goes to help her breathe and that she cannot use a mask.

Swider has a blog where she talks about life with the illness as she waits for a double lung transplant.

"It's really hard to be a young mom and have this awful disease and not have an answer about it," said Swider

Looking at the video that's with the article it doesn't appear she can't use a mask. She would probably have to use one that straps behind the head instead of the ears.

If she already has respiratory illness she may be more susceptible to COVID-19.

1. This is the sort of person who should stay at home

She won't live long enough to get that double lung transplant if she catches CV19.

2. this is why I will never confront a person not wearing a mask unless they have gone all carrion..

..i dont know their story.. in fact i try not to even make eye contact but if i do i will smile at them and go my own way.
