It’s a sad sad sight

Sitting on riverside watching the old folks walking around with masks on, what they thinking?
I know a few oldies in NZ and AUS who are to scared to leave their homes since March.
I used to think mountain climbing, diving, shy diving was dangerous but not now, going to the shop to buy milk and bread you’re risking you life if you catch this chinese virus.
I know many people are also mentally drained with all this shit, I’m one of them. Yes life could be a lot worse but I can’t see a bright side to this shit.
Watching people and myself included walking around with a mask with the fear of catching some virus that may kill you is not fun.
Is beer at home the only answer?

past few months, only time i wear a mask is entering a mall,( an being inside one) or a 7/11
i'd say here in Phuket, less than 50% of locals & farangs wear them as well

I still find it amusing tho seeing a thai driving a car alone, wearing a mask

mask aren't to protect the wearer
but to stop them spreading it if they happen to be infected

consequently, wearing a mask says 'i am being careful not to spread it, if i happen to have it'
and not wearing a mask says 'idgaf, suck my virus'

Mate give them a break, they have very little to protect themselves, they need to do all they can.

It's just weird and unmanly having to go out with a mask on, maybe I'm getting old but it just doesn't seem right.

I want to die fucking, falling off a cliff , driving to fast, in a plane crash going on holiday, not catching some virus at the shop.
Let me choose the risk

You’re not alone in feeling the absurdity of it all.

I’m in France at present, and the paranoia is rife. Measures are one thing, but some of this?

I’m in a hotel in Marseille. There are only aircrew here; Ethiopian, some DHL, and us. I think less than a dozen, all in. Yesterday was a wonderful, calm, sunny day. Edging into the twenties, Celsius. The hotel is deserted, and regulations say we are confined to our rooms, except to go to work, come back from work, to visit reception to order food, or to venture out within 1km, for exercise, alone. Enforceable by police presence.
