As some of you know I work in pharmacy and one of the services we provide is for people to collect a test kit to take home. In the last week as the cases have soared the frequency of requests has noticeably increased, but today it's gone to another level, verging on mass hysteria. It was a Morrisons I was in, I'd say more than half were wearing masks and folk were not congregating close together in the queue to pay.

I have to wear a mask every day I go to work due to the NHS edict on prevention and control of infection; I've gotten used to it (even with my glasses on Mick ). I don't like them though and as has been said they don't protect you from someone else's germs, they are a personal choice. Unfortunately though, common sense is not very common - if I had a cough/cold or some other respiratory illness I would put one on. Respiratory bugs will make a comeback which could once again stretch the NHS - the nation needs to calm the fk down and be personally responsible for their actions.
