Little Nemo Mar 2022 8:09am, 27 Mar 2022 12,854 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo I'm hoping that having had it in July I can miss this wave. As one of the few people still wearing a mask on the tube and in shops, it seems like nearly everyone else in London has given up.
HappyG(rrr) Mar 2022 8:11am, 27 Mar 2022 41,850 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) Still 100% commuter wearing and 80% plus shop wearing up here in Central Scotland I'd estimate. Still hoping not to get it thanks! G

He's diabetic, so a bit concerning, however he is boosted and already has a CPAP. Probably a maskless meeting was the cause. Still mask wearing in communal areas at work here.

JRitchie Mar 2022 2:55pm, 27 Mar 2022 3,015 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie We had our delayed Christmas party last Friday. It was nice to be out - all the folk attending are working in the same open plan office space so felt no additional risk- however as an event it was flatter than the normal office dinner. I think more to do with folk just being really tired and busy. Attended a graduate recruitment evening for my work which on reflection was probably the “covid riskiest” event I have been at for 2 years. Everyone in masks but a lot of mingling and chatting with 90 odd under grads and post grads. There is an interesting observation coming the grad recruitment process is that a lot of grads are not actually applying to firms just yet. We are getting a lot of post grads and other non-traditional routes into the firm. I think it’s due to the fact that the Uni experience has been so out of sorts past 2 years that grads are looking at doing something different for a couple of years or so (more post grad) before moving into career perhaps because the experience of that phase of life has been missed.
Bazoaxe Mar 2022 7:25am, 28 Mar 2022 22,332 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Quite a significant non mask wearing contingent on the bus today. Including one guy wearing as a chinstrap band pulled it over his mouth as he headied for the exit.
Tim of Fife Mar 2022 10:19am, 28 Mar 2022 3,791 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife Mask wearing still 80-90% near me. Yet Scotland has highest case rate. Odd.
Fields Mar 2022 10:23am, 28 Mar 2022 3,739 posts	Quote Pin Fields [Scotland just doesn’t include what you define as “near you”, also people may wear masks more because the rate is so high]
