K.P., 26, a software developer engineer in Gdańsk, Poland

Masks became a routine so ridiculously fast. A year ago if I wear mask in Poland it will look at least suspicious. Nobody care, and even understand, the purpose and need to wear of it before. But now, man, everybody is looking at you with the will to tear you apart if the mask is not properly set on your face. A friend of mine starts every our convs with: in the tram I saw again a person without mask. What a pig!

I have a bunch of masks already, company I worked in made them as merch and sent to all employees. Another one I have from my mom sent me from my home country (and it is a bit illegally to send masks over a border, at least the big amount, I got only one:). I even made a couple by myself! Can you imagine 😁
