I just don't understand why you would do this (and trumpet it so proudly) at a time when covid infections are rising and we should be doing more, not less to protect the most vulnerable in our society.

We're putting an end to compulsory mask wearing in care homes in time for Christmas.

I hope this means thousands more people in care will get to see a smile this winter: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mask-and-outbreak-guidance-updated-in-care-settings

Weird.

If you posted this on twitter, the replies would be 50-50.

50% saying, "this is probably a bad idea". The other 50% far right nutjobs. Not wearing a mask in an enclosed space with vulnerable people should be as antisocial as smoking in a lift.

Why are some twitter accounts turning effective virus mitigation measures into a political argument?
