Under 35 I'd say. So probably less likely to have been double vaccinated as well. Not all, by any means and they weren't the only ones not wearing, but that was my observation.

I went to my dentist yesterday, they still require patients to wear a mask . Seemed rather pointless as had to take off for the examination

Doctors last week, receptionists demanded that people had to sanitise hands wear masks, Dr came out of the room and asked if anyone has a cough, after a round of no's he asked everyone to remove their masks if they wanted.

How long does it take to catch coronavirus depending on the type of mask you’re wearing?
Surgical face coverings are not designed to contain infectious aerosols that accumulate in enclosed spaces. Experts recommend N95 masks, which are better fitted and have a higher filtration capacity

Not sure if this link has been seen but in Spain to protect oneself it is important to choose correctly.
Personally I have very low immune system so need to protect myself from not only covid but other air borne dangers so have had a 4 TH injection already but must wear a mask in all social occasions.

I know how you feel mate, people think being a very good looking bloke is a gift but in my experience it's a curse, my missus is always getting annoyed when good looking girls throw themselves at me and beg for sex. :)

I think it is nice that it has become an acceptable choice for people and no one looks at mask wearers as strange as happened pre pandemic.

Still wearing mine as a family member is undergoing cancer treatment and it's critical it's not delayed.
Have to say I have had a few people come up to me and cough on purpose, as well as being really stupid it's also unthinking as it could well be that I am the one who has covid but thinks wearing a mask out to the shops makes it all ok to carry on doing what I want.
Given the amount of people who won't even wash their hands after going to the toilet, I'm comfortable with my choice. Probably the same lot who roll forward at a junction in their car over the white line and onto the green bike area, believing that because the have four wheels they qualify as a 'double bike' with a hard shell rain canopy.

With you all the way on the mask but I don't agree with your bike moan. The councils got grants from the e.u for putting in bike lanes. They were paid by square metres installed. In Holland they dug up areas and laid proper cycle lanes away from the cars. Us crafty bastards simply painted huge areas green and stuck a white bike on top. They then realised they could get more money by sticking the green bits atctraffic lights. It's a con. A pedal cycle should not be in the middle of the road when there is a cycle lane 3 foot to his left.

I agree with you completely, but I still will get frustrated the next time a car comes to a stop square over a bike sign. Just as I will when I next see a cyclist ignore a red light because they read something about it being ok in America or just can't be arsed.
I'm not actually a cyclist myself, to be honest as a car driver and pedestrian I'd say cyclists are often the biggest danger (if not their actions and unpredictability then the sheer fact that our roads aren't always suited to cars, bikes and pedestrians all using them simultaneously) but I do appreciate that they are doing something positive compared to driving and it's not their fault our road systems are unaccommodating for bikes in many places.
On a connected safety note, partly related to the masks subject of this thread, I see a growing number of cyclists without helmets nowadays. Worries me, earlier this year a teenage lad got knocked off his bike with no helmet on at the road our road, apparently he was on the pavement and crossed the T junction without slowing but the driver,one of our neighbours, was given the blame. She's since sold her car and hardly leaves the house anymore, sad state of affairs for everyone.
