In the height of the mask-wearing phase when it was a requirement to wear masks in public places, we'd see people wearing these standard masks that were clearly not tight on the face, and a countless number of people with the mask under the nose. No-one ever seemed to challenge anyone about this.
I still believe that the change of government advice in favour of mask-wearing was simply PR, designed to get people who had been scared to death by the medical rhetoric out of their homes.
It is untrue to say no-one is making us wear them. In too many situations, it is still a requirement (GP surgeries, hospitals, chemists, aeroplanes, etc.).

I was referring to the person wearing the mask - sorry if that wasn’t clear.

They’re not making you wear one…

Some people seem to have objections to others wearing masks.
It’s interesting that you don’t think people should wear masks to GP surgeries& hospitals, where it’s likely that the people there would be vulnerable - can I ask why you think that?
