On the subject of masks, I noticed that YouGov on Twitter (no idea what relationship it has with HMG, tenuous at best surely, given that they seem to concern themselves with such mindless trivia as how often people change their bedsheets) is claiming that the majority of people (61%) would be in favour of the government re-introducing compulsory mask wearing on public transport!

Having travelled quite a bit recently, it seems strange that, if true, 61% of people on public transport are not actually choosing to wear masks themselves. I'd say it's 3% still clinging to the belief that they make a jot of difference at the most...
You probably need to dig into the demographic of the typical YouGov participant to get your answer wink

And then ignore.

I was in Mexico at half term, no mandates in place for vaccines/testing or masks anywhere but the airport. You could fly 10hrs in a metal tube with 400 other people unmasked but to walk down the gantry and into immigration required a mask. No-one bothered.

Anyway, quite a few staff at the hotel wore masks. made communication quite difficult, they mostly spoke good English but an accent and a mask made some hard to understand. Facial cues and lip reading really help communication.

I Just assume anyone wearing a mask these days must have Covid or be rather odd so just give them a wide berth either way!
Ah, Deepti Gurdasani. If being a Covid fruit loop was an Olympic sport, she'd be the undisputed gold medal winner. I'd like to think that everyone has, by now, realised what a loon she is, and will ignore her for ever more. When I say 'everyone', I exclude Susan Michie and Stephen Reicher who would be silver and bronze medallists; perhaps they have some WhatsApp group where they huddle together to exchange stories about being 'Covid cautious'.
