Do you think that we should all be wearing face masks wherever we go?

Depends.

Useless when driving around in your car by yourself.

Vital when in a small shop in close proximity to others.

I think common sense is more important than a face mask.

Of course, my yep wasn't in reference to driving alone, however I think one should be kept in the car just in case you get pulled by the police or need an unexpected repair

Yes. They reduce the risk. They don't eliminate the risk, but it everyone wore one, we'd reduce the risk of transmission.

It just seems like a no brainer and I can't fathom why people are against it.

Even 'macho man' Donald trump put his on this weekend.

Exactly. Transmission isn't something that can be denied either. We've all done it im guessing where even something as innocent as clearing your throat when you're perfectly healthy and a totally unexpected loogie flies out and you're all I was NOT expecting that!

If that can happen when you're perfectly healthy then imagine what can happen when you're unwell and don't realise.

No. That would be very unhealthy as we need to breath in fresh air. I need to wear a madk at work and will wear one in shops but other than that i will not be wearing one. To me a mask feels like someone is covering my mouth and nose with a hand which feels awful. Yesterday in a hot shop i felt like i was having a panic attack because of the mask. I suffer from hayfever and felt i was unable to breath.

I hear you , but try different masks. One of mine is horrible, looks great but I feel like I can't breath or speak. The other one is much better.

I think we do need to wear them.

Just a matter of finding one that works for you and getting used to it.

Yep. I found a local woman making three layer masks, in lovely fabric. Washable at 60 degrees and feel really comfortable to wear. Better than the others I had tried by a country mile.

That's true.

I always used to have a little roll of the eyes when I saw Chinese people wearing masks at old Trafford, but they've lived through these kind of things before, and now continue to wear masks.

I think many will continue here.

I think the misconception was they were wearing them to protect themselves. They wear them when they have a cold to reduce them passing it on.

Absolutely in indoor or crowded places.

Masks aren't for protecting the person wearing them, they protect other people and we all have a responsibility to the people around us and the vulnerable people in our community to try to reduce the spread.

I wear mine all day at work as its a Hospital and obviously mandatory. I also wear one in shops, at the hairdressers etc. Everyone has a responsibility to do their part and try to help reduce the spread. Just because you may get off lightly if you caught it, does not mean the person you could spread it to does

It's not yet the norm in the places I'm visiting, but nobody looks at me oddly for wearing one.

What I have noticed, particularly in supermarkets, is that people seem to be using them instead of distancing. They have no issue leaning right across you because they're wearing a mask.

Yes in shops, crowded places, its common decency to show willing to protect other people.

Unless theres a specific serious medical condition not to wear one then there is no excuse. The only way to reduce this horrendous virus is to do all we can to minimise the spread.

How? You can still see the eyes. You can even get ones where you can see mouths (plastic shield) for the hearing impaired.

I think serious illness or death is way more dehumanising. And taking care of our community is what makes us human.

In most cases we can and should make our own decisions. In the case of public health, an individualist do what you like approach is profoundly damaging and does harm to others.

Folks are forgetting, the original lockdown only worked mainly because of the good will of folks to flattern the curve and stop hospitals getting over run, this mask farce is already pissing 40% of folks off,and they will vote with their feet, especially when there is a blurring Hypocrisy around pubs and bars, I've been out two Saturdays and a Sunday night with not a mask in sight around town, so if it really is about safety. any mandate would have to also include bars as well, which it can't, folks ain't stupid and will call bullshit on masks.

This virus is airborne. We can slow the rate of transmission but it will bubble up in clusters for ever, even if we lived in permanent lockdown. I am not for or against masks, either may will make a very negligible difference in the final number of infections and fatalities.

I am in two minds. There is no doubt that indoors where people can't stay 2m apart, masks help prevent spread of C19. They can also be of use outdoors where people are close together...if worn correctly. In four months I have seen precisely one person using a face covering correctly. Everyone else I have seen with one either has it round their chin, fiddles with it, has their nose out, has huge gaps between mask and face, takes it on/off to "take a break" or to eat/drink/smoke. Most people seem to think they protect the wearer. The understanding around how important it is to change masks if you do take one off and to wash them between uses seems lost. I've seen masks clearly stained and worn multiple times on successive days without washing.

There is absolutely no point in me wearing a face covering when I go for my walks as I'm in a field and the wide grass path to that field is 20 seconds from my door. I am yet to encounter more than five people, and it is very easy to stay 100 metres apart let alone 2m. There's also no point if I visit the local camera shop as there's rarely more than three people in there and the walk there is also easy to keep distance.

There's no need to wear one in the car with members of your household but if you drive to multiple shops and take the thing on and off, again you're not wearing it correctly and are increasing your risk of spreading the virus.

Some shops are certainly different. I've been in B&M where people were not distancing and the staff are not provided with screens at the checkouts. All the supermarkets I've been to have been great for distancing but if the weather turns in September/October we will want more people in the shop and less queuing outside. And for the time being the only way to be safe inside with more people is if everyone wears a mask/face covering.

In theory I'm still in favour of people using common sense. Eg there's really no need if you have countryside near you and you're going for a walk/cycle...or if you're walking to a local shop and you know they're good with distancing. Shops could also be given the right to enforce a policy regarding masks/coverings. If a shop decides they want to insist all customers wear one, that could be put into law before the summer recess.

But then I also wonder if it's not just better to mandate masks/coverings in shops. And have a *massive* public awareness campaign on how they should be worn and used. Because honestly, the number of people I see in masks and gloves adjusting the mask to scratch their nose is just horrific. Masks can give a false sense of safety. The litter caused by people discarding masks and gloves is becoming a problem too. It seems people don't understand you can safely bag single use masks...or bag and wash cloth ones.

Either way, we need a big public info campaign, in a time where (understandably) many people don't trust the government and might decide not to follow instructions simply because they come from Boris. It's tricky.

Unless you're wearing a balaclava masks don't cover that much of your face.

Exactly. While it may look odd to see someone driving wearing one, once it's on it should stay on unless you carry multiple masks around with you.

As I said above, sadly in four months I have seen just one person using one correctly. The principals of how to wear and use one are extremely simple yet people just don't get it.

China, Japan and other far East countries have *long* had a culture where anyone who is ill with cold/flu/cough/sniffles wears a mask in public...in cities at least. It's been the norm there for decades, and they are used to it. They also know how to correctly use and wear them.

It's unbelievable how easily folks are slowly being conned into communism. And even worse think it's all just fine, and seem to be loving it, The mask farce and accepting the "new normal" is just the beginning.

We have become a country of whingers. People want to do things in their own way and don’t want to be told what to do. Ffs, I don’t care if people don’t like the feel or the look of these masks, if they feel their civil liberties have been infringed or anything else.

Every time people are asked to do anything by the gvt in this country, you hear so many people whinging about the nanny state. Well, countries that have nanny states everywhere in Europe have got fewer deaths than us- a lot less!

Masks have been compulsory pretty much everywhere but here. Not in the US, the country that we seem to copy in every possible stupid way. As always we’re three months behind everyone else.

I’m really sick of people who think that social distancing doesn’t apply to them, that they shouldn’t be wearing masks, that they don’t get vaccinated. Just get a life. Forget about your me, me, me, me attitude and do the right thing. Otherwise, go and live in the woods!

Funny how being told to wear a mask is now a sign of communism. When the right wingers don’t like something these days, they describe it as communist. Pathetic.

"Folks are forgetting, the original lockdown only worked mainly because of the good will of folks to flattern the curve and stop hospitals getting over run, this mask farce is already pissing 40% of folks off,and they will vote with their feet, especially when there is a blurring Hypocrisy around pubs and bars, I've been out two Saturdays and a Sunday night with not a mask in sight around town, so if it really is about safety. any mandate would have to also include bars as well, which it can't, folks ain't stupid and will call bullshit on masks. "

Instead of telling us what you saw on Saturday and Sunday, you may want to forget about your belly button and look at other countries, the ones where the death toll and the number of infections is lower and sheer masks are mandatory in shops. So far, every decision that has been taken in this country has been x fiasco so instead at looking what’s happening here, look at what other countries . I know that we’re told the best in the world at everything but we all know it’s complete bullshit.

Falling sick and or dying of the various is far more dehumanising than what you’ve mentioned above.

Not looking forward to wearing a mask, but in small shops, public transport, I understand it maybe necessary for others to feel comfortable and safe.

Question is where does it stop? In bars, restaurants, schools, outdoor exercise etc.

And how long would this be for?

I can't see the public accepting this as a forced way forward, you just have to look at the number of people who broke lockdown rules. You think masks are going to be worn by these people?

Drinking and driving has become socially unacceptable...it didn't happen overnight. But this virus is going nowhere for a long long time...so we need to adapt our living to it and masks Will be a part of that I can assure you.

I went to France last weekend. I went to quite a few shops. I didn’t come across ANYONE not wearing a face covering. The French are not renowned for being the most disciplined nation and people often like doing things the way they think is right. That’s why they don’t take any crap from their gvt unlike us, sheep.

However when it comes to this, they are all doing. They don’t whinge about their civil liberties or I don’t know what.

But of course, if we believe some people here, France is as communist country...

To me a mask feels like someone is covering my mouth and nose with a hand which feels awful. Yesterday in a hot shop i felt like i was having a panic attack because of the mask.

I agree.

And how is a virus that has no respiratory function. No reproductive function. Able to be 'airborbe'?

Have we all forgotten that we've been lied to over and over?

600k ppl passed away on 2019

That's more than 1.5k a day!

There have been no significant increases in death rates.

But lots of ppl are not getting the care they need under normal circumstances.

The government only recently admitted that "under normal circumstances 10k ppl a month die in care homes!

I can go to a shop when it's quiet, keep socially distanced when shopping and not having to interact with anyone else, and yet people are suggesting that face coverings should be mandatory. Ok I may be fortunate in living where I do, but I will only visit a shop when it's going to be quiet. If a shop insisted on wearing one, I'd buy goods from another retailer online.

I could go to a restaurant, pub, etc and not need a face covering. There's far more risk in pubs etc which I've seen fairly busy, little to no social distancing and not a face covering in sight, nor anyone suggesting coverings should be worn.

Seems very much like double standards and probably many of those phoning in to the local radio talk show moaning that people didn't cover their face in a shop will themselves be out on the piss or stuffing their face in a restaurant and not even think about it.

Well done. Thanks for confirming that I didn't say 21%.

So, to explain without an abacus, if 99.79% recover, that leaves .21% who don't, yes?

And .21% of the world's population is in excess of 22 million people.

"We have become a country of whingers. People want to do things in their own way and don’t want to be told what to do. Ffs, I don’t care if people don’t like the feel or the look of these masks, if they feel their civil liberties have been infringed or anything else.

Every time people are asked to do anything by the gvt in this country, you hear so many people whinging about the nanny state. Well, countries that have nanny states everywhere in Europe have got fewer deaths than us- a lot less!

Masks have been compulsory pretty much everywhere but here. Not in the US, the country that we seem to copy in every possible stupid way. As always we’re three months behind everyone else.

I’m really sick of people who think that social distancing doesn’t apply to them, that they shouldn’t be wearing masks, that they don’t get vaccinated. Just get a life. Forget about your me, me, me, me attitude and do the right thing. Otherwise, go and live in the woods!

You make a good point about the USA. It currently accounts for 25% of all Vivid 19 deaths worldwide.

This, from the country where people are taking to the streets to march and campaign for not wearing masks as it infringes their civil rights and "masks don't save lives"

FFS.

In th US certain States have compulsory mask wearing, LA for example. Just pointing it out that all the US dosnt do the same thing in each State.

Correct. The USA is still responsible for 25% of the world's Vivid 19 deaths though. "

Not doubting the severity of this virus but not every death which is labelled as a 'Covid' death is down to the virus. It's part of the cause, not the whole cause in many cases. Spoken to a few that work in the medical world and they say that if a patient who has sadly passed on and has Covid it's put down as a Covid death, irrespective of other illness. So on that basis I don't think the figures are wholy accurate.

Masks may help in some circumstances, I personally will wear them if required to but not through choice.

Also, stories are increasingly coming out about people who are surviving, but not recovering.

Death is not the only bad outcome.

Wait a second... 0.21 % won't recover... that's you claim is 22 million... so that means everyone needs to be infected... right?

0.21 %of 7billion is 22mill.

People normally have colds when they're stressed, the body is not functioning right.

Christmas time .. its wet cold. Lack of sunshine vitamin D. And under stress. Sleep deficit even. A cold is the result. Its your body telling you you need to take time out.

Or... you've worked 12 weeks straight.

You know you have a week off coming... strangely on that week you get ill.

The body here relaxes and detox itself. "Coming down with something" is what they call it. Buts just the bodies naturally healing process.

That's what i believe. I could be wrong.

99.97 recovery rate means that of those infected 99.97% will recover.

22 million that dont recover i.e

0.21% is only 22million if the whole world population of 7bill is infected.

You're wrong.

You become infected with a virus when a virus gets into your system and an infection takes hold. Covid-19 and four strains of common cold are corona viruses. (SARS and MERS are the others)

Stress, diet, exercise etc may have an impact on whether an infection takes hold. But if you don't get an infectious dose of a virus, you don't get sick.

Covering your nose and mouth is the most effective way of stopping yourself getting Covid-19 (or, if you unknowingly have it, transmitting it to others).

Yes. And as the poster I quoted said, 99.97% of those infected will recover.

If they get it, they will recover. Those who don't recover won't.

22 million plus does assume everyone will get it.

Say I give it to 1 person, who in turn gives it to one person, so every day the number infected doubles.

Get your calculator out and multi 2 x 2 for 30 days, see what the number looks like.

This is one of the most infections diseases we've ever encountered.

If you don't think it is, look at the population of the USA, work out what 25% is, their current number of deaths, and how many days it's taken to get to that number.......

The corrupt China WHO, today are already setting the stall out for a lifetime of this bullshit, for a virus with a 99.79% recovery rate.

That bullshit you speak of, you do realise the .21% who won't recover represents more than 22 million people worldwide.....

As long as you're ok with that.

Being conned into communism my arse.

21% dont recover from having the virus ?

WTF

Where on earth did you get that from?

I didn't say that. hmmm

That bullshit you speak of, you do realise the .21% who won't recover represents more than 22 million people worldwide.....

Well done. Thanks for confirming that I didn't say 21%.

So, to explain without an abacus, if 99.79% recover, that leaves .21% who don't, yes?

And .21% of the world's population is in excess of 22 million people.

Haha I never saw the dot .

But you assume everyone will get it

I'm assuming nothing of the sort.

The poster I quoted said 99.97% would recover.

What do you think happens to the .21% who don't recover?

Recover... thats the key word... to recover you need to be infected.

Yes. And as the poster I quoted said, 99.97% of those infected will recover.

If they get it, they will recover. Those who don't recover won't.

22 million plus does assume everyone will get it.

Say I give it to 1 person, who in turn gives it to one person, so every day the number infected doubles.

Get your calculator out and multi 2 x 2 for 30 days, see what the number looks like.

This is one of the most infections diseases we've ever encountered.

If you don't think it is, look at the population of the USA, work out what 25% is, their current number of deaths, and how many days it's taken to get to that number......."

A recent article printed in the new york times was about a study on the blm protests. It concluded that they found no evidence of the protest leading to more infections.

Another study published in pubmed that examined a group of people confirmed with covid 19 and exposed to 400 odd people and non got infected.

In march day before the lockdown.. the UK government relegated covid 19 as not highly infectious.

93% of infections occur indoors.

The UK government has been wrong about almost everything during this pandemic.

Please don't make me copy and paste the science around infections and why some people are more succeptible than others.

How do you think the 25% in the States got it?

Thankfully I work in wild areas and open spaces and thankfully my partner does the shopping. If masks become compulsory then I shall be bailing out of those areas etc that stipulate mask wearing and shall return totally back to isolation amidst nature. And if necessary I will consider my future.

If the government insist on face coverings in shops and high streets, since I hate these places I wont be going.

Try wearing one of these masks whilst wearing spectacles. It's a foggy mess and might as well be blind.

I'll wear one in enclosed spaces with others, I'll wear one in the grocery shops if I must. I wont be going into town and I wont be going anywhere with crowds.

It's not a case of wearing them all the time. It's a case of common sense.

"Do you think that we should all be wearing face masks wherever we go?"

No, only in enclosed spaces where social distancing is not possible (such as busy trains and buses).

There is an imminent decision re wearing face masks so you won't have a choice soon.

Plenty of articles online on how to avoid foggy glasses with a mask on.

There you go. They are announcing tomorrow that masks will have to be worn in shops from 24th. That was quick. I can never understand why they make a decision but then say do it in a couple of weeks

To give them time to publicise it and make people aware of it.

Not everyone follows the news closely

Hopefully we'll get this thing under control.

In parts of the US where masking is widespread, they're saying "I protect you, you protect me". I like that.

Will wear one inside when shopping, as will soon be the requirement, but outdoors will remain at the 2 meter distance.

For those of you who wont wear one, please keep your distance from those of us who do.

Wear them or don't wear them.. You won't die but you might take in too much co2 but no one has security on doorways to stop you from buying your cereal but you might get dirty looks if you do or don't wear one and in a years time I wonder if anyone will care or not if you did or didnt.

Just make sure that if you do.. Its stylish

Yep don't get it, why not from end of this week to allow a few days to prepare. People should be wearing a face covering on public transport already, so should have one with them most of the time as it is now. We say very loosely "should be" as not many are following this guide and no enforcement. Let's see how shops and enclosed places manage this and how many people won't be wearing them unchallenged .
