Bear in mind I live in a town with 40 cases per 100,000 and EVERYONE is wearing masks. It was so liberating not wearing one, I was free again, what a feeling! I will try my local supermarket next. It does feel like mask-wearing is becoming so entrenched in society that people are just shocked anyone would have the audacity not to wear one. I just wish more people would rebel.
So do I.
The rate where I live is about 20 per 100,000, but it's a huge area. My local town was listed a while ago as one of the places in the UK that had recorded zero coronavirus deaths, which I think is still true.
Nearly everyone round here is wearing a mask though - lots even wear them in the street, though maybe that's just so they aren't taking them on and off going into different shops. My husband went in Boots today and the pharmacist was wearing his mask below his nose.
I think supermarkets are actually easier than small shops because they're more impersonal. Although there's an excellent health food shop where I live which has a sign saying "No Mask - We Won't Ask". I make a point of going there every week and having a chat about how absurd all the rules are with the lady who works there.
I picked up a few bits in my local Aldi today and was the only person maskless in a store with approx 40 customers.
I am so despondent that more people are not wearing a mask it seems that we are doomed to this situation for the foreseeable future.
I drive a delivery van for a living and regularly see people on there own driving with a mask cyclists wearing a mask people on there own walking in the street wearing a mask.
The young see it as a fashion accessory with matching patterns to their outfit.
I despair for the UK population.
Ever since I printed out my low-mood exemption papers, I have been strutting around Sainsbury's like Mick Jagger.
I affect an airy demeanour and wear a Cheshire-cat grin for all to see. I have even started quietly singing to myself (very unlike me), partly in an attempt to show people how nonchalant I am, but partly out of the pure joy that comes from being able to refuse the muzzle with the full support of the law.
My Everyone Dies t-shirt arrived this week, so I'm sure things will be a bit more dicey when I go shopping this Saturday. I've worn it out a few times this week and people have been looking at me like I'm an escaped mental patient.
Alas I seem to be the only maskless person in shops these days.if anyone is giving me dodgy looks through their masks i dont notice anyway and just carry on.one exception in the coop the other day an unmasked man in the queue gave me a huge grin and I gave one back.sadly seeing a smile these days is getting rarer but some hope at least.
😀 😀
Ps my everyone dies t shirt made me smile ..
Yay! I joined up.
I’m in my late 40s and never get challenged. I like to think I look MUCH younger so I am not sure it’s all about age.
Either way, I’m usually the only unmasked person in my local Tesco. But nobody bats an eyelid.
