Wearing Masks On The Rise

[newbie99]

What do people think of the people wearing masks?

[emmie]

it's up to them, i wouldn't do it be to honest...

[bhg481]

I haven't seen a single mask-wearer to date.

[emmie]

i know some in the capital have been wearing them, i have seen it on the news report.

[Bobbisox1]

I’d rather wear a cardboard box with cut outs for eyes :0/

[Arrods]

I read somewhere that it was better for those with the virus to wear masks than those without.

[woofgang]

apparently its not protective.

[georgesgirl]

Have yet to see one person wearing a mask.

I loved the Lone Ranger when I was a kid.

Advice from GP's I work with is that they don't really help as they only protect for a brief time. Once they are damp, even from your own breath, they no longer work. So pointless all these people wearing the same mask all day.
Best to leave supplies for health professionals who really need them i think.

Denton - it shows how effective masks are then because he never caught coronavirus.

[Denton]

Too true,bhg.

There was a guy in Sainsbury's wearing one this morning. It appeared to have some sort of filter

[fiction-factory]

A lad at school was sent in one by his parents. He spent all day lending it to his mates who wanted to have a turn at wearing it

I was in the Accidents and Emergency department of a local hospital, about 3 weeks ago, and there was an oriental couple there, both with masks on. My opinion is that the wearers are to be applauded, because they obviously wish to be seen to be 'doing their bit' and are being as careful as they can.

[Old_Geezer]

I like the Guido Fawkes ones.

[douglas9401]

Do they have to be removed before paying for petrol or entering a bank?

[Theland]

We Scousers have been wearing them for years for making cash withdrawals from the bank :-)

[rowanwitch]

Idiots mostly as they are wearing the wrong sort unless they are protecting others, stops their droplets coming out, will not stop the virus getting in only a respirator type level 45 I think will do that.

[waterboatman]

I'll go along with that rowan.

[douglas9401]

Possibly more to do with proclaiming a sense of civic responsibility along with a deep seated need for attention.

Like volunteer litter pickers and their wee armbands.
