especially on the roadside that runs by one of our biggest hospitals and healthcare complexes. Litter has long been a problem here so it's not surprising.

Nasty ass people... I am still decontaminating and using a single surgical mask.

At some point, yes it will go.

It kills me hospitals are begging for PPE and these idiots do what they do
