Something Is Not Right

While surfing the Internet today, I had seen some people use face masks in the wrong way. Others are using face masks as if they are going to dance in a ballroom. I think they need to have Face Mask 101. If they continue this, then how can they refrain from COVID-19.
Have you noticed them?
Do we need to educate them?

I went to a diabetes class today, Masks were required. One gentleman came in late with the mask not covering his nose. That bothered me but he was a good twenty feet away from me. Then he pulled it off his mouth to talk. I grabbed my stuff and walked out the door. I called the lady teaching and told her that I felt I could not stay in that room since the man was not wearing the mask as required. I refuse to take unnecessary risks with my life.
Yes, lots of people don't wear them at all, and many who do wear them wrong. Making the mask useless for protection.

If I were in your shoes, I will do the same thing. I can't be sure if he is not inflicted with COVID-19. I am just worried about those diabetic patients. They are susceptible to be infected with the virus. People are trying to be creative but they don't.

@Shavkat I have rescheduled my class to an online video conference. That is acceptable to me. It was available before, but I was assured everyone had to wear the mask. Yet, the lady that was leading said nothing to the man who removed the mask to talk. Unfortunately, that says to me the lady does not take the risk seriously.

maybe this man thought that the virus cannot enter into his mouth but only though his nose.

yes. I have seen still worse kind of people who pull down their face mask while talking. It's they who are responsible for the virus spread and must be penalised.

Its a common sense and i don't think I need to learn as they see others and have to learn by themselves.

@birjudanak Perhaps they are just not being serious.

@Shavkat Maybe they didn't see themselves in mirror or not take things seriously.

Or they just don't care. We're running into that more and more here.
A few days ago when Pretty and I were out getting groceries some people told their kids not to get too close because we had coronavirus because we were wearing our masks correctly while they weren't wearing masks at all. *shake my head*

I also am annoyed with people wearing face masks the wrong way. They didn't know they are exposing themselves or exposing other people to that virus if ever they are carriers.

It is really hard to tell them or educate them sometimes. Most of them here are not coverinh their nose especially for a cloth mask and their reason is that it is giving them a feeling of hard to breath.

Yes. I have noticed many people like this. They don't take it seriously. The just wearing face mask to escape from police penalty. If people do this continuously, it is not possible to control the pandemic. People should also behave with some social responsibility.

It is crazy how people know so little about face masks. I haven't seen it in person because I haven't gone outside since the beginning of April, but my mom sees people wearing masks improperly or not at all and she avoids those people as best as she can. She hates wearing a mask, but she still does it.

@Shavkat I have seen some persons who cover their mouth and keep their nose open.I use my handkerchief as mask .However I don't feel comfortable with covering my nose.It's so suffocating.

@nawala123 I think it is fun to have them. Perhaps I can only use them at home.
