I was in a cafe in Pateley Bridge last Friday when I saw my Covid hero. I was so impressed I wanted to go over and shake his hand, but I don't think he would have welcomed that. He came in, smart black mask strapped tightly over his mouth and nose, he sat down, he looked around, picked up the menu and perused it, all the while mask still tightly in place covering his face, and so it remained until his cup of tea arrived. I was in awe, at last I'd seen someone who clearly believed that masks work, all the other maskers I've seen in the last 18 months have taken them off as soon they've sat down, and as they cannot believe that the virus will differentiate between a standing and a sitting victim, they cannot truly believe that the mask offers them protection, or as my hero did, they would keep them on until their scoff arrived......wouldn't they ?
