..... bit at least I get more exercise.

@Petter yes, here you can go into pubs without, so on my walk yesterday had a drink in the pub instead of from the shop. I really have nothing to complain about

@girlwithsmiles Here, in pubs and cafes, you are not allowed to remove your mask unless you are seated. You are also not allowed to walk in any street without a mask, even if you have parked right outside the cafe/bar/restaurant. Very strict. Nor may you smoke or vape if in the street, if inside any building or if anyone, even a fellow smoker, is within 10 feet of you.

@Petter that makes more sense to me, I usually wear mine inside, until seated, simply because it makes more sense. Outside I wear it if the person density indicates someone is likely to come within 2 metres of me.
I’m glad they’re taking it seriously.

@girlwithsmiles Here, yes. But in some areas rules are being ignored, mainly in the poorer parts of big cities. Madrid now accounts for one third of all new infections in Spain.

@Petter that’s sad, i think that’s how it’s happening here too. Population density and education are bound to be factors in something like this I suppose. Reading and deciphering reports and statistics isn’t for everyone.

You press your masks? I am not sure whether to be impressed or befuddled LOL.

@ReadyforaChange By pressing them I make sure any possible germs are gone, gone, gone. And my masks have ties, so it makes the ties tidier. Why ties you may be thinking. I also wear hearing aids, and elastic on masks will dislodge the hearing aids when I remove the mask.

@HippieChick58 I live in fear of the new (tinier!) hearing aids getting lost in the car!

Only when I'm not going oit!
