The masks are never coming off. Ever.
Pandemic aside, it actually amazes me that we in the west haven't been using masks
before this.
Of all the trips I took on Ligne 13, sometimes being bathed by the sweat of the
occupants in a rammed carriage in the summer, it now makes me think why I would
have allowed those same people to breathe on me (don't get me started on the physical
contact and pickpockets).
And actually, we've not seen here in France the flu hitting as hard as it did in previous
years (in 2018/19 we saw the whole country except Bretagne become a massive red
zone).
Don't get me wrong, the flu is still around but it's not getting the leverage it normally
has because of social distancing and masks.
Purely on a Parisien level, I think we've all re-calculated our personal space requirements from what they were to what any other country would consider as normal
