If You Saw A Re-Usable Face Mask On The Pavement.... Would You...

...pick it up, take it home and put it in a hot wash and wear it?
Pick it up and put it in a bin?
Kick it into the gutter?
Or just ignore it?

No way! That could be very risky to anyone who decided to pick it up.

I would leave it where it was...

Too right Mags.
I wouldn't touch it either. Surely no one would?

Ignore it. I'd treat it as clinical waste. If I saw a syringe I would feel the same.

I saw two good ones on the pavement this evening. l did wonder if anyone would pick them up, take them home and put them on the boil!!

Before tissues, some people would pick up hankies off the street and take them home and wash them.

A woman stranger, asked if l had a cigarette the other day. I said, l didn’t smoke and pointed to one l had seen a woman discard before she got on a bus.
Next, thing she was looking in the gutter, found it and lit it up!!

Anything like that makes me worry about STDs. Ok we have Covid to worry about too now but Herpes or HPV or even worse some tropical disease. They used to incinerate such things in hospitals. Not sure what they do now.
