Below is what I put on my town face book page in response to those who make excuses to not wearing a mask.

I did have a lot of people back me, but a few villages are missing their idiot.

I want to explain my anger towards those who don't wear masks, regardless the reason.

On the 17th of March I picked my mum up from her sisters, we went into Sainsbury's (not much choice due to panic buying) and while walking around I said to her that as of tomorrow ill do all the shopping and when I've eaten my tea at night ill go and stay in my room to avoid contact as I was working and god knows what the idiots at were doing to prevent spread.

On the 18th of March I was up at 6am and went to work I got in at 6pm and my mum said she had to sit as her legs were very painful. Well after several attempts tooing and throwing between 111 & 999 an ambulance arrived, and she was taken to hospital as she had no movement below the waist.

At 6am on the 19th I had to call my sister to ask can she take over as I had been up 24 hours, she took over at 730am, and I was in bed by 8am. I was awoken at 9am with my sister in tears saying that mums O2 had crashed to 50% and I should get here. I did but had to get my dad as we were told to prepare for the worse. I eventually got to bed after being awake for 38½ hours.

On the 26th of March were told that she had the Coronavirus and I had to leave work immediately and self-quarantine.

Days after this I was furloughed.

On the 14th of April we were told that the Coronavirus has left her paralysed.

On the 15th of April she was moved to a nursing home some 30 minutes always.

In that time I have only seen her 3 times, once her wedding anniversary and second birthday.

Now the home is allowing only one household to visit every 3 weeks. So I have told my sister to do it.

I was made redundant on July 1st which means I am at risk of losing my car.

We are currently in the process of getting her home, I spent 9 weeks sorting out the house in 30c heat during the hottest days this year and a bed has been delivered and the mattress is being order, then it's the care package, it will mean me getting up at 3am every morning to move her to another position in bed.

If I knew then what I know now, perhaps she would still be walking, so forgive me if I say there is no reason not to wear a mask or stay at home if you don't, as I wouldn't wish my nightmare on my enemies.
