Much ado about face masks


We wear masks to protect not just ourselves but others as well. But after months of mask-wearing, the urge to compromise is growing as complacency sets in.

I ADMIT it. I’m getting rather careless. After months of diligently practising the recommended Covid-19 SOP, the desire to cut corners is growing.

And it largely has to do with the face mask. After six months of wearing them, I believe many, like me, have a big pile of used ones. I keep mine in a Ziploc bag. I do that because I find it hard to add them to our already horrendous mountain of trash created by our single-use habit.
