The old folk still wear the mask in our big Tesco. of course it is around their chin. Totally pointless.
Yes, that is what I'm seeing in in my local Tesco too. 90% of my fellow shoppers are unmasked but there are a few residual customers who are still masked up. I think it's a permanent change for those folk, and they are overwhelmingly elderly customers.rolex said:

The point i make is what is the point of wearing it round your chin.
That’s it’s there for when you need it. Isn’t wearing it on your chin just a way of having one handy.

The point is we don’t really know why someone is wearing a mask or wearing a mask around their chin.
Same as the example before when someone was complaining about two people in a car wearing a mask with the roof down, perhaps one person was very vulnerable and the other was giving them a lift somewhere so it’s safer to have the roof down and both wear a mask? Who knows.
This ridiculous anti mask polarisation, particular on things like this thread always seems odd to me, we have no idea why someone might be wearing a mask or wearing one on their chin, everyone’s circumstances are very different as are how we see our roles in society or view the world.

Very true. The only thing we do know for sure is that they don't work. Which brings us full circle to, why wear one then?El stovey said:

And when they get to where they (think they) need it, you can guarantee that they'll take hold of it with their dominant hand (the one they've been pawing door handles, rails, bannisters, petrol pump triggers and everything else that a thousand other people have touched that day) and drag it up their face to cheerfully breather in all the bacteria and germs that they've just neatly transferred to it. Isn’t wearing it on your chin just a way of having one handy.
Whole thing is such a farce.

Interesting constantly traveling abroad and still seeing high % of mask wearing in some other countries and it still being required in some hotels and airports etc.
Really feels like going back in time.
Which countries please?Really feels like going back in time.
Masks where still required on the flight... Well, I say required, they staff at the gate wouldn't scan your boarding card unless you had a mask, the flight crew said "we know, but it's a requirement, please don't give us hassle as it isn't us setting the rules" but on the flight back today they half heartedly spoke to a couple of people about putting on a mask while on the flight but seems pretty much 90% of the flight didn't bother.
But rest of Holland is back to how it was pre covid.
Many of the mandates for flights in Europe are being dropped as from today.

But some countries are keeping them because, y'know, The Science TM.
Also: aircraft operators, during their pre-flight communications as well as during the flight, should continue to encourage their passengers and crew members to wear face masks during the flight as well as in the airport, even when wearing a face mask is not required,"
They do love their little masks!

We've missed you..! 
I'm sure you have.Since the mandate was lifted here, I don't think I've thought about masks at all.
Oh, actually, apart from visiting a friend in the death star hospital in Glasgow, where we had to wear a mask until we were inside her room.
Point is, you didn't want to be told to wear masks. You wanted it to be optional.
That is now the case. So why are you still berating those that choose to wear them?
