I followed all the suggestions and didn't see family or friends until the vaccine was out. One thing that I find odd now is that there are people that mask up still, which is good, but their nose is hanging out. Like, dude, we had years of this, and you're attempting to be conscious, but how have you not learned how to wear a mask properly?
Thankfully where I live, that sort of thing didn't happen much during the pandemic itself. Most people understood how to properly wear a mask and why it was necessary. Nobody enjoyed wearing one - I didn't either - but they definitely made me feel safer in situations where you couldn't always avoid being near someone, like public transport.
Though it's certainly odd that people who wear them NOW use them wrong. That's a head scratcher for sure.
