It's ludicrous, the whole crisis-management aspect alone of this virus, but worse is seeing people's visible confusion when actually out and about, away from the political peackocking of our nations' leaders.
Partner flashes a message on her phone stating she's exempt from wearing a mask, no one bats an eyelid, usually to the chorus of "Oh....ok!"
I throw her some shade and proceed to actually wear a mask
I don't wholly object to donning a rag to my face for a couple of minutes here and there, like at the vet's today + cab, annoying, but no harm done end of the day, it gets shit done
What IS annoying is seeing Joe Public and staff/ shopkeepers show mixed messages, it seems like a bit of a free-for-all, not really a 'combined' effort, is it
And even more grating is the effect on public services, THAT's where everyone's got themselves in a flap, running around like scared sheep when some common sense would be useful.
Like a small thing like the vets, open FOUR HOURS A DAY with appointment wait times of over a week, and there's countless other examples one could cite! Gym staff dicking around without a care in the world etc.....so if they don't care, why should anyone else? Is anyone remotely interested in adhering to a team effort? I think not, it seems each man for himself
On the plus side, the vet was extremely fit, I got to give my eyes a treat when I was drooling beneath my mask. Just as well my partner wasn't there to see that state of affairs! In fact I'm not even sure what the vet was saying in the end, but I'm sure it was interesting
