Ok, so this nonsense is still going on then, ie where you are perfectly safe from floating germs while SITTING at a table, but at risk if walking PAST a table. It's stupid and needs ditching. I hope most establishments are being a bit more sensible about it now, not that I will be frequenting many bars and restaurants during my next visit from early October.
Here in the UK it is a very hit and miss situation on mask wearing. There's plenty of "we advise you to wear one" notices but many, thankfully, are taking the sensible option and leaving it in their pockets, or at home. I took a train to York yesterday and visited the National Railway Museum and walked a bit on the Roman walls. I saw very few people wearing a mask outside although there were some on the train wearing one. It's got to the stage now where you either wear one or you don't - it's down to personal choice and I am happy with that. I won't bother anyone hiding half of their face for no good reason and I don't expect anyone to bother me for breathing in the fresh, Autumnal air.
Life is going on again but we still have nonsensical situations like Glastonbury is cancelled and yet the IOW Festival went ahead last weekend (50,000 or so in Seaclose Park enjoying open air music). I've been in several big football and cricket crowds lately and feel perfectly safe doing so. Normality reigns once more. Well, NEARLY normal, but you know what I mean!
