Tragically, the sheer scope of this pandemic means that the full spectrum of human fears, emotions and reactions have surfaced. These range from Conspiracy theorists who believe Covid19 doesn't really exist, and is merely a subterfuge to control us all under a 'New World Order', through those who believe it to be a very serious Flu-type outbreak, and treated accordingly, to others who are panicking hysterically unless compulsion of every sort is possibly irrevocably introduced as though the mortality is 100 % !! @Fed up: I think you did entirely the right thing. @Stan : When 'compulsion' comes in; 'free-will' flies out the window...... And can you get it back?
Stan, they are supposed to be compulsory here on public transport and elsewhere both indoors and outdoors if you can’t keep the social distance of two metres. The trouble is that, like you say, many are not adhering to the rules and that includes a local policeman I passed the other day. He was standing in the middle of the pavement chatting to another man and had his mask in his hand! Did he move out if the way to let me pass? Nooo! I had to walk into the road to get past. A great example!!
How I wishthe masks were supposed to be compulsory here. I bought quality masks from my local Pharmacia. Cost €6. But I am mostly on my own when out and around who is wearing a mask. My theory is the mask stops any virus droplets leaving your mouth. Also the good quality mask will prevent any inhalation of any virus droplets. So I wear my mask ALL THE TIME.
