Some retailers are making a killing on the masks, capitalism never stops, some are real bad quality but better than nothing of course. There are retailers who took peoples orders and promised to ship out when in stock too, it seems. It's all surreal I never imagined we'd be grabbing masks before going outside.

We’re a kpop loving household so my kids have had some rad masks for a couple of years now. Only as fashion items until recently obviously and, even then, barely wore them because, as cool as they look, few other kids would ever wear anything similar. So the upside of the pandemic is getting use out of the kpop masks.

Strangely enough many of those make the up the most vulnerable section of the population - the over 75s, the ones who have actually been doing 80+% of the dying.
There is the small matter of cost too - or not so small if you're poor, on a state pension, unemployed, just been made redundant or are facing that prospect in the next few months.
If you think just a couple of quid is easily afforded then you've never been there.
The absurdity of this legislation beggars belief where shop keepers/workers can refuse customers or even report them if they are not wearing a mask yet they themselves do not have to wear them.
Then there's that whole hospitality industry thing where suddenly everyone is exempt for, practical reasons, in pubs, clubs and restaurants but staff are wearing masks. That was used as a selling point in one restaurant advert I noticed.

Even those who are laid back about this matter have to agree it is a complete dog's breakfast and like most knee jerk reaction legislation it will have to be completely rethought at some point.

They hate that so they flex there muscles in a vain attempt to appear competent.
