I could never fathom out the UK governments reluctance to insist that people wear masks, when the rest of the world were! Then they relented and joined in on recommending them, then later making it mandatory that “ face coverings” be worn in certain areas, not necessarily masks. Almost a year on I would not be surprised if they insist on masks being worn everywhere, even walking outdoors, yes, almost a year later, let’s see. They also went out of their way to make the general public embarrassed or guilty if they wore anything more than the basic surgical mask. Maybe that was due to the fact that at the time they were struggling with even providing adequate PPE to front line NHS. Now almost a year later, I will not be feeling guilty, nor should anyone else wearing an N 95 or N 99 mask, what ever keeps you safe. The Government has had long enough to ensure that by now NHS staff are provided with the best PPE. (Ha Ha). But tomorrow you will still see people in the supermarket with a rag wrapped around their face, just to meet the basic mandatory requirements, or as we have all seen prior to the lockdowns, pissing it up in the streets, or out shopping with no masks, or social distancing at all. Irrespective of which party is in control in the UK, their biggest enemy is the general public, and that is why lockdowns are necessary. Sorry, didn’t intend to making that into a rant.
