I was in Tesco last weekend, doing a shop. It's still much less busy than it ever used to be, so I quite enjoy it - it's quite relaxing. Don't tell TW though.
I noticed two men, separately and not together, wearing their masks wrongly. They had their mouths covered but not their noses.
I don't understand the point of that. Either it's reasonable to wear a mask, in which case wear it properly, covering both nose and mouth. Or it's not reasonable to wear a mask, in which case don't wear one. It's not like anyone is going to stop you. There were big articles on the news about how it was going to be impossible to enforce the wearing of masks.
It's not like they were wearing glasses, either. So they didn't have that excuse - that their glasses might steam up. I wear glasses for reading, and actually this has been a good thing for me because it means I have to only wear them when I'm reading a label or looking for a specific item in a shop. Normally (is there a "normally", any more?) I might leave my glasses on, and after a minute or two I would realise that I was still wearing them. Now, if I don't take them off, I can't see what I'm doing or where I'm going, because my specs are all fogged up.
Of course I didn't say anything; I didn't accost them or harangue them for not following the rules. I'm British; I don't do that sort of thing.
I guess I can't figure out why somebody might go at this half-arsed. There is still a killer virus out there, and although it probably won't kill me, there are steps I am following to reduce the risk. Why others aren't doing the same is, and will probably remain, a mystery.
TTFN.
