    Yeah the UK is as much a joke as Australia and NZ at this point. Absolute nanny state, with few people putting up any resistance. Australians because they're so soft because life has been good for so long so they don't see a need to resist, and the UK because they're so browbeaten in to conformity over centuries.

    I wear it only exactly when I'm explicitly required to, that's my little resistance against it. I'm walking across the grocery store parking lot, the only one without a mask on. But I'm not being a jerk, nor am I breaking any rules. I'm just re-normalizing lack of mask outdoors. Feels like a good balanced approach lots of people could take without causing friction

    Shay's rebellion was damn cool but people forget their enemies.

    At the door of the grocery we add the mask,

    Don't you mean you wear 4 masks, and follow Faucci's fables?

    Quoting socks:

    You said this:

    I support personal freedom.

    Which means that you would want everyone to have their 'personal freedom', right?

    That works when people wear masks, which is so simple that anyone can easily do it without any problem. Case closed

    Righteous!

    Edit: socksbot continues to double down into absurdity. Disgraceful.

    It's worth a read.

    ..Are we supposed to be wearing the damned things outside too? I don't really give a crap about wearing it inside, if anything it's keeping me warm as long as I'm not doing anything outside of walking. I could imagine it getting hellishly hot for anyone overweight though.

    I think we are expected to wear it outside when we're closer than 6 feet to someone, such as outside a bar, or coffee place, or where others are standing or walking or on mass transit. If I have to walk through a group of people standing around outside, I'll put the mask on just before walking through them. In the US this might not be common in places where people drive to their destinations.
