Also, we do not want to end up as a long hauler. This is a scary disease, one in which we don't have a vaccine for. A few minutes in a shop, or on public transport, and people feel put out. Well, I couldn't care less how you feel so hard done by with mandatory masks. I do not want to catch this disease, I do not want symptoms that last for weeks or months, I do not want to end up in the ICU, I do not want to end up on a ventilator and nobody should be allowed to infect others with a disease like this. Just wear a mask, please.https://english.elpais.com/science_tech/2020-07-17/over-half-of-coronavirus-hospital-patients-in-spain-have-developed-neurological-problems-studies-show.html?fbclid=IwAR3841UNn09-Wv8CF4gYKe768yPiD0iZZKR8XxlRii_SAe7ourlc1bANof4

And why do the same people dismiss masks straight away? Is the concern for others so little no thought is even given to it?

I've my party hat pretty much hung up, there's a few generations behind me that deserve to be having the time of their lives. Donning the mask is letting Government off the hook until god knows when. It's not a country I want to bring my kids up in. I'm jumping ship at some stage with my family if this goes on too long. When do you stop wearing it? What do we do with bare faces and the people who it triggers a first official mental illness in like me, seriously, what's the plan here i'm not seeing it.

By contrast those urging people to wear masks - and in their ranks are the healthy and vulnerable - stress their fraternity and solidarity with all in this crisis.
