Why Am I Still Seeing Eejits Walking Down The Road With Masks On?

COVID is over, move on.

Why do you feel the need to be rude about people about whom you know nothing?

[ynnafymmi]

Free choice,perhaps.

Why am I reading eejits who ask this. I wouldnt wear one outdoors ... unless I'm going from shop to shop, but I'm not vunerable, so maybe those that are are just been extra cautious or extra considerate . In time there use will continue to fall but some are still choosing to wear them where is not compulsory, thats there choice, respect it

[Arrods]

Bank robbers?

[ToraToraTora]

bob masks are not primarily to protect the wearer.

"COVID is over"

Since when?

[Impatiens]

It makes sense if you’re between shops and have finally achieved a satisfactory relationship between mask and glasses.

Some people chose to wear a mask before covid so why not now if it
makes them feel safe.

[naomi24]

I think some will continue to wear then indefinitely. Personally I couldn’t wait to get rid of them.

[ToraToraTora]

I never saw anyone walking down the street in a mask before covid.

[sunny-dave]

COVID is over, move on.

Tell that to the families of the 1148 people who died of/with Covid last week ...

Some of these eejits are, like my late husband, immunocompromised.
Doing everything they possibly can, however little, to protect themselves helps both physically and mentally.

Like us they are longing to go out and about again but will of course come into contact with eejits who think they know better than everyone else.

FFP2 masks do actually protect the wearer as well as others.

I can't believe TTT is still wearing jeans. They are so last century.

[sanmac]

I have never worn a mask outside and never will, but I still wear one going into stores etc because we are still required to.

TTT

Stores don’t mandate that you *have* to wear a mask, but they suggest you do. It might be that the people you’ve seen are going from one shop to another and can’t be bothered to take their mask off.

I know that I do that and recognise how mad I must look between stores.

Is this why you conclude that these people are ‘eejits’?

[fcc]

TTT,i did especially people from the far east where wearing a mask seems to be quite common.you need to get out more.

[tiggerblue10]

I still wear one but keep it under my chin until I go into any shop.

[ToraToraTora]

sp: "It might be that the people you’ve seen are going from one shop to another and can’t be bothered to take their mask off. " - they just walked past my house, no where near anyone or any shops.

[bobbinwales]

I noticed about 15 years ago that it werent unusual people of Far East heritage to wear masks in cities, maybe for polution, maybe cultural as it was common in some Far East ((SARS etc and pollution)

[gness]

No! TTT doesn't need to get out more, fcc....let him stay indoors...don't want to be bumping into him..... ;-)
