At the height of the pandemic, it was the greatest provocation: boarding a train without a mask. Today it’s the other way around. Anyone who defends themselves and others is considered a fearsome exotic creature. Like a walking reminder of a time no one wants to relive anymore.
But reality is not a dream concert. It’s autumn again, viruses are circulating. Celebrations are cancelled, which seems to affect every second person in the office. Transport companies in Zurich are having to cut their schedules because too many tram drivers are on sick leave. Federal figures also speak for themselves: the curve of visits to the doctor due to coronavirus and flu-like symptoms has been moving sharply upward for several days.
Sick people who wear masks in busy places should be rightly congratulated. They act rationally. But it’s the other way around: it feels like you’re standing on the south turn of FCZ’s rival city with a GC scarf. In the most harmless cases, you will get angry looks and jokes.
Isn’t this depressing? In reality, we all want the same thing: no blanket mask requirements. The fact that those who most effectively pursue this goal by wearing a symptomatic mask are now treated with hostility is not only completely absurd, but downright stupid.
