Would you attend an indoor baby group where face coverings were optional?
I’m not sure whether I’m being unreasonable or OTT here. I went to a baby group yesterday where masks were optional despite it being an indoor activity. It’s the kind of activity where the babies are moving around and therefore so are the parents - in other words, distancing isn’t really an option. And very few people were wearing masks. In fact, after the leader announced masks were optional, the ones who were wearing them removed them, leaving me as the only person wearing one.
I feel really uncomfortable with this, and not sure if I’m overreacting? Although the space is well-ventilated, it just didn’t feel like a good idea to not be wearing one. I’m not sure what the rationale is behind it, but am wondering whether others would feel the same way and whether it is worth raising it with the organisation, not wearing a mask next time, or just not going back. Any thoughts?
(Just for the record, I’m not a member of the mask police or anything and I absolutely respect that lots of people have valid reasons not to wear them, and may choose not to do so when it’s not mandated, just as others may choose to. I’m just interested in the opinions of others.)
