Face Masks In Supermarkets.

[diddlydo]

It appears that all the major supermarkets are asking/advising/guilt-trapping people into wearing masks after Monday. I for one will not be taking the slightest notice. If other shoppers give me a wide berth because I'm not wearing a mask all well and good. What about you?

I will continue to wear a mask, my cousin is double jabbed and has just caught Covid, she is very ill.
So I will continue to protect myself and others

//Wearing a non-medical grade face covering provides little, or more probably no protection to the wearer.//

Stated as its fact but its just your opinion. Your choice but I prefer to listen to the advice of the medical professionals rather than bar room lawyers and even if it only helps by 25% its worth doing in my books.

Not as a fact, bob, but as the repeated opinion of most studies that I have read.

//Your choice//

It isn't. That's the whole point of this thread. The PM has said that the national (England) legislation on wearing of face masks in shops and on public transport will lapse on Monday and will not be renewed. However, if I want to travel on a TfL bus or train I will continue to have to wear one or risk being either refused permission to board or be thrown off if I do manage to get on. TfL is not a private company. It is a local government body operating under devolved powers from Westminster. It has received huge sums from the taxpayer to keep its services operational over the past year or so. There is no reason for it to impose conditions which do not prevail elsewhere. Shops are different. I can pick and choose where I shop if I am denied admission. And I shall.
