Grannynannywanny who have I taunted? All I have said is I don't believe the masks most people wear don't work , so why should people who don't have any infections wear them. They make me panic
... when you sneeringly suggest that those who still wear masks and who might well be at considerable risk should they catch the virus, are using them as 'comfort blankets', and say - as you did - that government have "got it made"... implying that people are stupid for following previous guidelines; then you are in fact taunting them.
I've read many comments on other social media sites using the same rhetoric. Anti-maskers start from a point which consists of insults and slurs... "wake up sheeple"... "still wearing your 'face-nappy'?", are two of the typical attacks from your brigade. It's not a convincing argument - and certainly not a science-based one...
I sympathise with those who don't like wearing a mask for whatever reason (does anyone like wearing them?)... I don't like wearing them either. But that is not the point.
I don't see anyone here demanding that young people are denied further loss of education - nor anyone who doesn't want some form of return to normality. They are asking whether it's reasonable to ask that, in certain environments like close contact in a shop, hairdressers or opticians, masks should still be worn. Those working in these environments also have a right to protection. My local chemist demands that everyone entering it wears a mask to protect themselves and their customers. And they have every right to do that.
The disparity between the law and guidance has created confusion, but it simply means businesses, not the government, will be responsible for making and enforcing any face mask rules.
