Covid-19 Megathread

I wonder how a substantial minority of people in the UK whom consider the idea of wearing a face mask in public to be a burden on their "freedoms" would have coped during World War II?

"I'm not fuckin' getting my KFC rationed! It's like Nazi Germany!!"

These last few months have seen those whom previously talked a lot about the "Blitz Spirit" turn quickly into the biggest snowflakes imaginable.

Or indeed wearing a gasmask, as was required during raids in the blitz.

My best friend of nearly 40 years was complaining online about this "socialist" government taking away his "right to karaoke".

We see each other probably twice a year. Since the referendum on leaving the EU, even that has often seemed perhaps a bit too frequent.

For some bloody reason libraries aren't included in the mandatory mask deal. 

Fuck knows why.

It would require the government to give a shit about libraries, which they haven't done for the last however many years...

I mean, I expected them not to include libraries in the announcement but not to actually state that it doesn't apply to libraries. 

I work in one. I've already lost a colleague (and friend) from Covid and my employers are already cutting corners. I really can't stand to lose anymore.

Unsurprisingly I'm not the only person who's concerned about it. It also turns out that some libraries are still saying visitors need to wear masks. 

The head of my library service has tried to quell fears by saying:

"I hope (and expect) many visitors will wear masks."

Well hey, I'm very comforted by the fact that you *hope* that's the case.
