We have a pandemic of stupidity as well I think, as yet no known cure.

I don’t get it either. Those that are exempt.....fair enough needn’t wear them but others are making much ado about nothing. I wear one and Pete will certainly give them a go. Xxxxx😘🌈

Both myself and my husband will wear them those who think it makes them look stupid are being stupid. I'd much rather look stupid than contract this terrible virus. Have a good day and take care 😊 Bernadette xx xx 🌈

I was at Hospital Like you Last Thursday, I had a Mask on over my Cannula 24 /7 Oxygen. I had adjusted the Mask as seen on a Video on here, And I had Soaped & Rinsed my Glasses , I had No Steaming and the Mask stayed in place. Regardless of me being exempt, I shall always wear a Mask when I eventually go out properly. Common Sense & a Reason to Live. Stay well . C. xxxx

Absolutely! Also there is a video on you tube, which shows how to stop your glasses from steaming up. If this is what will keep us safe I will always wear one, wherever I go.

Hugs and love, too honπŸ€—β€πŸŽˆ

Oh goodness, don't get me started. It's not an issue here, but I saw in London there were protesters protesting about wearing masks. The level of "moron" is just mind baffling. I hope they have their names taken down and recorded, so that when the vaccine comes out we can assume they won't need it , because they think they are immune anyway. xx 😠😑

Good reply, Cas.

It is very moronic. People talking about their 'freedom' to not be controlled by the government......what that kind of attitude is supposed to be doesn't bear thinking of...lol

Have a good and safe Tuesday, CasπŸ‘πŸ½β€πŸŽˆπŸŒΉπŸ€—

Two responses I have heard:

What if you are wrong? I have just been wearing a mask needlessly, you may have killed people.

And

If you think you look stupid in a mask, how do you think you will look in a ventilator?

Gingerapple profile image
Gingerappleβ€’ in reply toValsha

Yes, I agree with that, rather a mask than a ventilator!

It has to be lack of education about the virus! I insist my four year old children wear mask, although it is not compulsory for their age group but who cares about that! I blame the government for toing and froing about making a decision on this - total buffoons!

Is it true masks are not compulsory in offices? Tc🌈

Gingerapple profile image
Gingerappleβ€’ in reply toBionicLady

Yes, I read that yesterday, it's just illogical and I don't think they care one way or another what we do, they have 2 rules (gov.) But I will not go out without one! People think it's a hoax or they think it won't happen to them..πŸ€”Have a super Tuesday πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ€—πŸŽˆ

We've been wearing masks for our trips to the shops, admittedly they can get hot after wearing them awhile, but you can also forget your wearing them.

I think people like moaning and complaining, just wear a mask, if able to x x

Gingerapple profile image
Gingerappleβ€’ in reply toShirleyj

I agree, people like to moan now and again especially with this crisis, people don't like change. I know they get hot after a while. Whilst I was in hospital last week I wore it constantly and it's an N95 FFP3 and it's hotter than the normal surgical/medical masks.

I just wouldn't enter anywhere without mask protection.

Have a great say ShirleyjπŸ‘πŸ½πŸ€—πŸŽˆ
