@ozzybmx Yer, in SA.
It has been since July lockdown, masks are strongly recommended inside. Since then, shove a few spare ones everywhere, a few in the glovebox, a few i the workbag, a few in the riding bag etc. Inside mask-wearing is 'strongly recommended by SA-Health atm , where I work, is a joke, people wear them to their office, don't wear them in their office, they wear them for 5 mins traveling moving to meeting rooms, then have meetings with 2-40 people, sit in the same room for 2 hours, with everyone mask off.
It's not too hard to have a few masks in the glovebox, in the bag you take to work, in the riding bag, if you can carry a tube, you can carry a mask. etc. It just gets trying when masks have been a part of the culture here for a long time. Plenty of time to organise yourself, it's not your first day on earth.
@Dales Cannon I am glad #1 is alright, hope it all comes good. Don't feel bad about not having a mask, esp when it comes down to that sort of situation. I am a Dad now. When I was a kid I had a serious accident, my Dad saved my life and while doing so, he broke serious rules by running red lights etc. (he was not wearing a mask in 1983 either). There are reasons to break rules, also I am tired of standing in a line with a knobhead that forgot their mask, while they cover their snoorter with a scrap of a t-shirt.
I get it, people forget, esp when focused on something else, the difference is there are the ones that make the effort to get a mask to wear, (most venues have them under the counter in SA), and the ones that won't.
BTW I do not like masks, they screw my breathing, they make the red blotchy skin flair up like mad.
The current restrictions in SA are pretty cruisy...
