@skinnylatte That ship quietly sailed away a long, long time ago. In late 2024 or early 2025 when I was mid-chemo, someone at Tesco told me "It's gone, you know, you don't have to wear that now".
I told the bloke it was nothing to do with him. He started spouting some nonsense or other but I cut him off with "I'm having chemo for terminal cancer, I'm immunosuppressed, I don't want to catch whatever you have, how's your day going?"
To say he looked embarrassed would be a massive understatement.

@skinnylatte The nail in the coffin for masking was the endless news stories about our political leaders ignoring the rules altogether. They weren't doing it, so why should everyone else?

@greem that was a horrible experience to have. I’m glad you told him off but also, wow.
