    Went for a walk today in my Melb suburb, with facemask on all the time, as required by Vic Govt. I observed about 30% of the people I passed on the pavements had no masks on at all, about 30 % were carrying masks but only put them on when they saw me a distance (50-200 metres) approaching, the rest had them on I could see in the distance. What does this tell me... it tells me people are getting fed up with all this shite and internally are questioning the validity of all these rulings. Now comes the issue of joggers... they pass by me within a metre, expelling breath and inhaling air as hard as they can but they are not required to wear masks, and I have to walk through the breath they have been expelling as they pass by. Is there a logic to this I am missing. Or another example prior the current lockdown is you go into a restaurant and must have a facemask on whilst walking from the door your table, but once seated you can remove it. WTF. Does this mean the virus only infects people while walking, but not sitting? Little wonder fewer and fewer people it seems to me over the course of this last year are paying less and less attention to government edicts which seem incomprehensible, and who can blame them. Socialist policies of some kind I suppose that only they understand ( or think they do)
