A comment on London put in emergency lockdown as U.K. fights new strain. Parent comment
When hardly anyone is wearing a mask you feel a bit weird or silly.
When half the people are wearing masks you look at the people who are and aren't and can't help but wonder which side is your in-group.
When fines are enforced, everyone has an "excuse" to wear a mask. Darn fines.
