• I think you have to view those in the context in which they were made; everyone was supposed to be at home, except when getting food or doing their one daily exercise. Nobody was in the pub. Or the office. Or on a bus. There was a shortage of PPE for health workers.

    Also don't be an insufferable cunt.

    This, but also this thread was closed for good reasons.

    It was not responsible to advocate mask wearing then because the chronic shortage of PPE meant healthcare and other front line workers had to improvise with what they could get. Your 3M mask sounds exactly like the sort of thing these front line workers were having to buy at the time, so I don't think you can lay claim to any high horse.

    I agree with you about irresponsible runners and cyclists, but I don't think asking people to wear masks while doing intense exercise is practical. I think these runners just need to give people space and slow down sometimes to do that, but for some reason a lot of runners seem to have a problem with slowing down. Just like a lot of cyclists don't seem to realise that pulling up way less than 2m from someone panting at the lights is a good look.
