COVID-19 Rules - Love them or Hate them?

I very much see the world in black and white (right and wrong), so I love it when there is a clearly defined set of rules to live by. I'm also indifferent about people, so there has been no real downside to the social distancing rules for me personally. That said, I hate rule breakers and I cannot help but say something when people are not socially distancing from me. This has led to a number of confrontations over the past year, that could've have been avoided, if I could only manage to keep my mouth shut! Overall though, I would say that the COVID-19 rules have been good for me personally, as they align with my general outlook on life. What about you lovely people?

  • I've loved the past 18 months! Apart from the rule breakers, that is! I'm with you on that, I have to say something if someone comes too close, which gets me into trouble usually. I also get agitated when I see people in masks with them pulled down under their nose! What is the point!? Talking about masks, I've loved them. I'll be very upset when they're no longer required. I feel 'hidden' in a mask, I feel safe. During proper lockdown it was great, no one came knocking at my door unexpectedly. Heaven. Basically, I'd been in training for the past year all of my life.....

  • Don't feel obliged to stop wearing masks just because the government says you don't have to. I will be wearing a mask for as long as I feel I need to and I'm sure that there will still be quite a few people who choose to do the same.

  • No, I rarely listen to the government! Lol! I started wearing masks before it was mandatory because it made sense, I wear gloves too, though I do stop short of a full hazmat suit! ;-) I'll carry on wearing them whilst Covid is still a threat, not least because I'm immunocompromised....and yes, I know they don't really protect me, they protect other people from me, but the wearer does get a little bit of protection too, so I'm good with that. I had noticed that generally, normal flu and little coughs and colds were all but wiped out during the first lockdown, when people took it a little more seriously. So I think we should stick with it, and keep all transmissible diseases at bay! Lol!
