I FIND it amazing that the majority of people seem to think that Covid is behind us and everything has already returned to normal - if you judge this on the basis that very few people are still wearing masks.
Social distancing clearly helped keep infections down and so did the wearing of masks.
Many public buildings still require a mask to be worn and why not?
This simple action helps to protect us all and when you consider some countries were wearing masks before Covid then why not wear masks now?
If we don't start to see sense and reintroduce mask wearing as part of our everyday regime then I predict the introduction of yet another lockdown where we will be forced to wear masks under law rather than just doing this simple and most logical action on a voluntary basis.
Protect each other, you know it makes sense.
