So you wear it to protect you from other people. But the purpose of them was to stop you unwittingly infecting others. Not the same thing.
The other morning I was coming down western Ave from Eastern Ave just near Tesco and there was a man walking along the pavement wearing a mask. He was perhaps 40 odd years old.
The thing was it was about 8:15 AM and there wasn't another pedestrian within 200 yds of him or anywhere on the street (I don't know what that is in metres, sorry!). Completely pointless!
It just shows how stupid and ill informed people can be.
