I witnessed an elderly pair shouting at a jogger for running near them, with a face of anger more than fear. Clearly returning to normal will be difficult for many and so maybe wearing (pointless) masks will be necessary to reassure a frightened public its still safe to out.
But masks and gloves are mostly a placebo, in respect of viruses, because viruses are microscopic and by the time you put on the mask it is covered in viruses, as we are literally surrounded, in the air, by billions of viruses. And viruses ‘live’ on gloves, but our flesh contains ‘anti-bodies’ to kill viruses!
