Face Masks No Kidding Matter
Went to Pak n Save, Upper Hutt today and several kids aged anything from 12 to 16 not wearing a mask.
The store not taking action despite the presence of a Pandemic security person and service desk staff annoyed me.
Asked the youngest of a group of three how old he was and he said 12 and then quickly changed it to 11.
Went to service desk and told them - but the two people manning the desk said kids aged 12 don't need to wear a mask. They said they would check up on the others but never did.
Not only are children aged 12 and over regulated to wear masks in places such as supermarkets and public transport but it would be quite sane for children younger than 12 and say older than 5 to also comply as they can pass on the Covid virus just as much as older kids and you and me.
There is an element of insanity about the system that has developed in NZ despite all the good work been done.
Masks and distancing are a must for all ages and children are no exception.
Pak n Save, UH shame on you.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
