I do not have diabetes
The responses have been great. I am still reading them. Thanks to everyone. I've read different views which is what I hoped for so I can draw on that. Also I hope it has been useful for others to share and read.

I caught covid then had both vaccinations after it. Suffered with long covid all year not being able to work since April. I have made the most of no restrictions. Carry on as normal now. Don't think I have much too loose now.

I think at the height of covid last year when shops/supermarkets were wiping down trolleys and baskets they were cross contaminating! All the stupid people who collect a trolley then go in and then sanitize the trolley are stupid, as you’ve already touched it! I hate covid so much, the annoying masks, although are optional I still have to have stuffed on my face 11 hours a day for work. People that still wear them now when they don’t have to. Just makes me angry!

Hi,

An 11 hour shift? What do you do for a job..?

I have to admit, I don't see the mask wearing as protecting myself, it's more safeguarding some potentially vulnerable worker or has someone vulnerable they may care for at home without the fortune to either change job or Jack it in..?

I've got friends who do 12 hour shifts in different jobs. It's not as uncommon as you might think?
