I've been yearning and praying for months that something like this would happen and tonight, as i was taking my daily walk through the park close to my workplace, it finally happened!
Some older gentleman saw me walking without a mask and instead of staring, checking to see his mask is on tightly or even crossing to the other side of the road...he pulled down his own mask and for the first time in months, breathed God's air!
Very very small in the grand scheme, but after more than a year of disappointments, this was amazing!
Are they not doing the same in S.A.? They are certainly trying the same here in U.S.A.
Yes, but far less people are having it and I feel far more comfortable and prepared to fight back. Plus masks are not a part of South African culture like it is here.
Makes sense now that you say that. Good luck with your trip back!
