For no apparent reason I am once again thinking of the French Revolution and how the rich would burn through money on silly toys whilst the poor could barely afford mouldy bread to eat.

Just went through that process. I feel your pain.

When it's pouring rain you use an umbrella. You don't decide based on how many people there are without umbrellas getting wet. Why would you decide to base your health protection on people not masking, who are simply looking at other people deciding if they should mask. MASK UP

A WARNING Don't sacrifice your life for peer pressure or mass ignorance. Masking is the correct thing to do for an airborne virus killing and disabling millions. #MaskUp

Remember being told "If All of Your Friends Jumped Off a Cliff, Would You Jump Too?" That cliff is Covid and if you're not masking you are jumping off the cliff just as foolishly, doing what everyone else is doing regardless of safety. Long Covid

Mask up
