Masked Normality: Life in Cork One Year After COVID-19

Street photography showing a man wearing a white face mask and tan jacket with black backpack, sitting on a concrete street planter on a busy urban pavement in Cork, Ireland during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A year after COVID-19 hit Irish shores and people were still being extra careful, even wearing masks outside where there was little risk of infection.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Here we are in 2026, and people are still denying that COVID-19 was a problem, while there’s a screenshot going around of a tweet by an “MD” who predicted that everyone who got the vaccine would be dead by the end of 2025. We’re still around. LOL.

  1. I think I'll post these to Facebook without comment. The last time I mentioned anything that could be weaponised by crackpots, I got some nasty comments.

  2. @donncha Covidiots are still there. I made the mistake to read the comments under a news sites post earlier this year.
