It was about two days ago that I noticed something rather uncommon at a bus stop.

That's right, it's the fabled masks of +1 infection prevention. Of course, some will think it's understandable that these are discarded, due to their very limited period of effectiveness; however...

However the main problem with this scene (which I didn't have enough time to capture on a photograph) is the fact that a trash disposal bin (the logical container for these objects) was a mere 2 meters and 60 centimeters (approximately) away from the scene.

Regardless of the fact that wearing these masks doesn't help much with protecting oneself, it still makes little to no sense to simply leave them unattended at a public bus stop. The fact that they were used makes them suspicious and potentially volatile, endangering the health of other daily commuters that pass by there. Now, I am very well aware of how selfish some people can be (though I've merely seen the tip of the iceberg), yet I still can't help but feel disturbed to see something like this during a global crisis. And I'm not talking about the economy crisis here.

Anyone can probably figure that taking two extra steps to dispose of these masks properly and ecologically isn't a sacrifice at all. One could even consider it the only logical, as well as possible, solution.

People will never cease to surprise me.
