1308. When Will They Learn?

As from today most mandatory cautions/behaviors regarding Covid have been lifted in France, including wearing a mask in public places and in shops, restaurants, etc.

Now, following a post at Rick's that made me crave for a homemade pizza I went for what I was missing to the grocery store that's only a five minutes walk from my place.
On my way there I wondered what would be the ratio of customers taking advantage of that mandate's lifting. I thought "there will be a few of them, of course".

As I entered the mini market I took a look at the several store cashiers and noticed none of them were wearing a mask and, while running my errands I estimated that a third of the customers tops were wearing one as usual. Yes, only one third...

So yes, here's the question I had in mind when exiting the store:

When will they learn?!?!

For the last few days there's been a raise of the Omicron variant spreading among Western Europe's population, wearing a mask is still mandatory in public transportation as well as in any healthcare building (from hospitals to retirement homes), a fourth shot of vaccine is to be available within days for people at risk...

After exactly two years of this pandemic I would have thought most people would know better and would act accordingly. But, not so surprisingly, people’s herd stupidity proves me wrong.
