WHO advice is wishy-washy half-baked nonsense.  It disregards the risk of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic spreaders of the virus. 

 

Lots of countries are ignoring it and making masks compulsory, it's outdated already even though it was only updated recently.

Have to say, I'm all aboard the face-mask train now. I went to Aldi on Saturday dinnertime and I was one of 3 people who had a facemark on. It was pretty busy and the only others were two old women in there together. None of the staff had any on either. Must have been about 60 people in there. I think people are thinking its all but gone. 

 

Ive seen friends post pictures of themselves on holiday on Facebook. What the fuck is wrong with people

Face mask train? Sounds like a murder mystery excursion.

Mandatory on public transport in Rep of Ireland now as well

TK421 ahead of the curve. 

 

Come back to your post, TK, all is forgiven.

Almost overnight everyone you see in shops here is wearing a face mask. It feels much better.

 

But can anyone tell me where everyone’s getting the black washable ones from?They can’t all be buying them online

[BeefStroganoff]

Load of fucking nonsense.

 

They are talking about a spike in South Liverpool and having a conference on it now.

 

Nothing makes sense. On the one hand they say the virus has risen, but on the other hand they are not really testing people and they are saying when they do the data is unreliable.

 

How can you know you have an outbreak again if no one is being tested? My sister is a nurse in the Royal and only got tested 2 weeks back. My mate who is in having a back op, only got tested at the weekend having been in hospital for two weeks.

 

Nothing but nothing makes any sense no matter where the info comes from, WHO, the government, fucking bill gates, whoever. What a shambles.

If its airborne, like they've suddenly decided, you'll be getting it either way. You can wear a mask as much as you like.

Chevron Clothing in Wrexham. They even have Spiderman ones.

I’m wearing a mask to provide some protection to others and if everyone does the same it makes things a bit safer for all of us

I have already over the last three months received about 10 washable masks, one of which has replaceable filters that should last a month's use each or so between washes of the mask. I can use all ten of these in rotation between washes. I have just ordered 500 disposable masks that can be used for light use for a day and each 50 cost £2.99. Between £5 and £15 the washable ones. The more you pay, the better the quality is the general order of these things.

 

@TK421 was all over this early and I jumped on board very early. I have been using a mask for every shopping trip I make. But certainly not everyone has been. In fact the first week of pubs opening people were leaving the pub and coming into the shop drunk. Twats.

If you don't have a disease, how is anyone safer for you wearing a mask?

Seriously? You're infectious before you show symptoms and some people don't get symptoms. It's just erring on the side of caution.

Maybe I should wear a radiation suit too, just in case I've been involved in a Hulk-style gamma ray accident and never realised it.

[Bjornebye]

I'd say I'm surprised but I'm really not.

If that had happened recently to millions of people around the world, then yes, you probably should.

If there is no one crossing the road at a red light, how is anyone safer for cars stopping?

Can we take this the 'riddle thread' guys.

I really don't understand the problem. Just wear a mask in shops or on public transport and don't get too close to people. It's not exactly onerous.

Is that for the benefit of @Bjornebye or @Strontium Dog™?

Where are the 50 for £2.99 please mate.

If a tree falls in a forest, and I'm at home in bed, do I still need to wear a hard hat for protection?
