I've been back in the office in Manchester (well, the large building I work at) twice this week. On Monday I went straight in on the train and straight back out again. Today I thought I'd have a quick look for a couple of things in the Aldi and Tesco that they haven't had in at my locals.
This involved walking through the Arndale, which has signs up everywhere saying masks must be worn. I was shocked to find myself in a minority wearing one correctly. I'd estimate only half of the people in there were wearing one at all. Of the rest it was mainly teenagers to people of about 30, who clearly thought the rule didn't apply to them, and a few of your middle-aged overweight gammon types who didn't wear a mask at all. Then there were the people wearing them as chinwarmers, or below the nose, and the amount of people I saw who pulled them down to talk... Dear god, the general public are unbelieveable. This virus is being kept in circulation and spread around by shear idiocy and selfishness.
