Re: Maybe I have missed the point
What precautions were you taking back then
Regularly washing my hands, working from home when I could, generally avoiding large crowds. My wife is in the vulnerable category (asthma) so we were both being sensible.
or did you laugh to yourself and mock anyone who looked a bit daft in a mask.
No, I just felt vaguely sorry for those who thought it made a difference, when WHO guidance was (and still is) that anything less than a PP3 mask is useful only to stop infected people spreading the virus, and even PP3 masks should only be worn by people, like medical practitioners, who are in close regular contact with people whose state is unknown. Ordinary masks don't stop the virus, are worse than useless after half an hour when they've become damp, and encourage people to touch their face more often, which is counter-productive.
