Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Some questions aimed at those that do not have a valid reason to not wear a face mask...

1 - Do you wear a face mask when required (on public transport, in shops, when not seated in a pub or restaurant)?

2 - if no, what is your justification for not wearing one?

Yes and even when walking about outside sometimes, if the area I’m in has a lot of people about.

I wear one - but not happy... Not because I don't like wearing one - it doesn't bother me.. but I'm worried that it makes people less attentive to social distancing - and the evidence that face masks significantly reduce transmission is thin to say the least...

Yes. If I'm outside my apartment complex my mask is on, unless I'm changing masks to go into the gym or eating/ drinking (minimum five metres away from others).

Yes, I wear a mask where I am required. Unless you are exempt because of health reasons I can’t think of any justification for not doing so

I understand your concerns that masks do breed complacency but surely common sense dictates that wearing a mask adds another layer of protection that social distancing alone cannot offer, particularly when there seems to be a minority who have little respect for mask wearing/social distancing?

Yes I wear one. Having something on my face does make me feel very close to a trigger point as I don’t like too much stimuli especially if other things are going on around me. I have come close to ripping it off a few times and not wearing one for a bit but so far resisted the urge.

I wear one because I'm compelled by law to do it.

The evidence to suggest it does anything to slow spread is almost undetectable but if anybody has some cast iron science papers that are peer reviewed telling the opposite I'll change my stance.

In Germany, it's a requirement for everyone to wear a mask/face visor/mouth guard. There doesn't seem to be much of an issue with people complying and I'm sure that if you cannot wear a mask, a visor will not impede your ability to breathe.

Does having the rule that you need to wear a mask except if exempt allow for those who wish not to comply an excuse not to?

I wear one as its getting cold outside now.

I'm still not sure of the reason for wearing a mask. Since it's become law, the infection rates have gone up. So they can't be very effective?

Yes I wear one, although I don’t know whether I’m convinced on it actually minimising risk.

I wear one mostly to not cause any issues, or have someone shouting at me to put my mask on when I’m shopping.

Not a witch hunt, sheer curiosity..

Ever one is entitled to an opinion but no one is willing to discuss the fors and against like reasonable adults... It always descends into a bun fight...

If those that do not wear a mask when they should are willing to put their personal point across, it may allow others to understand why...

This is their personal preference to do so; it's not causing harm to others so why should they be shunned for doing so?

No I demand freedom and haven't sold it off ,like you, in exchange for a supposed safety the government claims it can give your but it can't. Do you really think a cheap bit of cloth or paper you bought from a shop will stop viral particles?

I'm sure this will be seen as persecution or virtue signalling. I don't give a toss. All comments are general.

Every person who doesn't do their bit increases our risk. Increases the illness rate. Increases the death rate. Prolongs the amount of time we have to deal with this shit.

This isn't about personal choice. This is about communal responsibility.

If we suck it up we can put this behind us.

I wear a mask at all times lol except in a bubble. Stick the rules mainly. Extreme Exceptions younger case, can track and trace.

Can make excuses but any excuse is no excuse as it is wrong regardless of the excuse.

Maybe I think if I am clear everyone else is OK, lessons learned.

Quite.

This shouting about freedom is nonsense.

If you want pure freedom go live somewhere without a government. I don't think you'll like it.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

One person willing to state a personal reason..

"Do you really think a cheap bit of cloth or paper you bought from a shop will stop viral particles?"

This is a valid point.. a paper or cloth mask won't stop a viral spore 20microns in diameter.

Flip side to this, have you asked yourself why medical professionals have worn face masks for many many years now?

If they didn't offer some form of protection, surely they would have been done away with to save money..

Tbh I think Toffee is just trolling and on the wind up, we all know that he really wears a mask, he is just looking for an argument or some much needed attention.

"Some questions aimed at those that do not have a valid reason to not wear a face mask...

1 - Do you wear a face mask when required (on public transport, in shops, when not seated in a pub or restaurant)?

2 - if no, what is your justification for not wearing one?

I don't need to justify myself to anyone and neither do you.

What's all this justification bull?

Why don’t you wear a mask Toffee?

I choose not to.

Do you have medical reasons for not wearing one?

Nope.

Ah, so your ‘special ‘ then? Or maybe you are just a rebel without a cause?

Please. Stop it.

Freedom? Does the mask make you feel ‘enslaved ‘ ? What makes you so special? What do you know that everyone else wearing a mask doesn’t?

Yes it does. The question why doesn't it make you feel that way?

I'm special because I'm an individual not part of any fikin collective .

I know a lot from my personal scientific background but even if I knew diddle it's my choice.

I think what really pisses people like you is that you can't stand someone not doing the same as you. Does it annoy you that people exercise free will?

1. Don't tell me what to do.

2. This isn't a serious pandemic but you believe it if you wish

3. The only selfish people are the ones who want to force others because they had anyone being different.

4. Do as you are told. Ffs can you hear yourself. Whi the fuk ars you or Johnson or sturgeon to order people around? This isn't a police state. Don't tell me what to do .

Virus is mostly transmitted via small particles of spit which come out on the breath. The masks remove much of this when breathing out.

The virus doesn't fly out of your orifices on its own.

You are correct and in addition, your breath being moist gets absorbed into the material turning it into the viral equivalent of fly paper.

Human saliva is also quite toxic to germs and virus, again making the mask a hostile environment for the nasties..

What made me laugh the other day was a mate who was telling me about the lad he works with, they are builders and do a lot of demolition work, the lad was moaning about a mask saying he has asthma and doesn’t have to wear one, And he can’t wear one.....yet as soon as he goes into a site where they are striping out plaster and cement dust he Happily puts on a full respirator for an 8 hour shift

I have no issue if somebody has a genuine reason but there appears to be a lot of “I have an exemption “ going on right now, maybe if they wore a mask this thing might be over sooner

If they are so marvellous at trapping particles in my breath how come my glasses steam up. If my glasses weren't there my breath would have escaped. Perhaps we should all be made to wear googles as well ? Maybe a snorkel ?

Face coverings are pointless and ineffectual in most situations and in some cases can make things worse.

I think they are only of merit in situations where it's impossible to keep a reasonable distance from others (such as on crowded public transport)

How do you know? Mask wearing is to slow down the rate of infection, do you have evidence from a similar nation that doesn’t wear masks to compare with Spain? Btw, just wear a mask, it really isn’t that much of a hardship

I don't need to justify myself to anyone and neither do you.

What's all this justification bull?

Why don’t you wear a mask Toffee?

I choose not to.

Do you have medical reasons for not wearing one?

Nope.

Ah, so your ‘special ‘ then? Or maybe you are just a rebel without a cause?

Please. Stop it.

Freedom? Does the mask make you feel ‘enslaved ‘ ? What makes you so special? What do you know that everyone else wearing a mask doesn’t?

Yes it does. The question why doesn't it make you feel that way?

I'm special because I'm an individual not part of any fikin collective .

I know a lot from my personal scientific background but even if I knew diddle it's my choice.

I think what really pisses people like you is that you can't stand someone not doing the same as you. Does it annoy you that people exercise free will?

this is nothing about people doing as they are told.

this is about you deliberately baiting someone on the forum.

i.e. bullying.

he has a personal choice and he has made it.

he even asked you politely to stop but you continued bullying him.

you are not in authority here, or in charge to give orders to others.

you may think your funny but the guy clearly asked you to leave him alone but you cannot do that.

if you dont like his non wearing of a mask, tough!

i actually thought the other guy was more aggressive and bullying if anything.. some really funny bits tho

Technically there's plenty that people can do about it.

Your friends could try talking to you about it.

People could suggest you educate yourself about what wearing a mask does to reduce the risk.

Shop keepers and bus drivers could ask you to leave.

The police could fine you.

As some examples.

"Yes I do

I have no issue if somebody has a genuine reason but there appears to be a lot of “I have an exemption “ going on right now, maybe if they wore a mask this thing might be over sooner "
. The problem is that there is no way to. Police persons who say they are exempt. You just have to accept their word. They d ont have to show anyone anything to confirm. Thief exemption. Now I know there are a lot of persons who for one reason or another are exempt and thus is not directed towards you but there are also a load of undesirables who blatantly disregard the rules for their own selfishness. This needs to change for the good

Definitely not

And never will.

1. the guidance (which is not law anyway)says face covering, which means you can put anything you like over your face, even a soggy lettuce leaf will do, which to me means its about compliance and not safety. and to stop the spread of information rather than the spread of a flu bug.

2. There has been no science forthcoming from the so called scientists, whom comrade doris is supposed to be taking advice from. I can point any one towards around 40 peer reviewed papers stating "face coverings will offer you no protection, there is even one where surgeons did a study of surgeries with and without face masks, wound infection rates dropped when surgeons didn't wear masks.

3. Comrade Doris has done no risk assessment on the wearing of masks/face coverings, and under current UK Law doesn't have to until after 23 July 2021.

4. If a surgeon wears a mask, it should be touched twice, once to put it on, the second time to put it into a bio hazard bin for incineration. I have seen people pulling them out of pockets, cleaning their phones with them, picking them up off the floor etc etc.

5. Face coverings lockdowns tier 1 2 3 and god know what else they got planned for us, are all designed to divert our attention from what these corrupt politicians are really up too,

EG selling off the NHS voted for in July 2020, not a mention in the press

and yesterday the CHISBill (licence to kill bill)

My guess, if we did provide science, you'd strawman it, and say you "I trust it". So pretending your issue is a "lack of science" is a little disingenuous.

Based on what you're saying, what do you think is going on in countries that aren't enforcing lockdowns etc, like Brazil, Sweden, or parts of the US? What you seem to suggest points to a global coordinated effort, but that isn't what we're seeing, because most countries are doing things differently to their neighbours which doesn't scream "cabal of evil politicians creating a fake pandemic to do evil political stuff".

Just a few things to think about.

Surgeons where masks. They do this to protect the patient from germs they may breath out causing an infection the the patient. Are surgeons riddled with infection? Probably not, but there is a small possibility they carry an infection that when breathed out will harm the patient.

Do you cover your face when you cough or sneeze? Most people do and it is a common courtesy as you may spread germs.

Do you wash you hands after going to the toilet? Most people do as it ensures any germs are removed from your hands so you don’t then touch everything else. Another common courtesy for the protection of others. The connection between poor sanitation and health goes back to Florence Nightingale!

So I ask myself two questions.

Can I categorically, 100% know that I do not have Covid?

If I do not wear a mask where I am obliged to do can I confidently say that no one will be at all concerned?

Personally, while the answer to either of those questions is No, I’ll do my bit, act out of courtesy and wear a mask. That’s my choice. Feel free to create and justify your own standards.

exactly.the rates have gone up since they became compulsory I wear one because we have to, nothing more. I don't really believe they are much use. The science told us they were of very little benefit way back in April then said we had to wear them

I wear one all the time when I leave the house. There's only two possible outcomes of me wearing a mask.

1. It's done nothing, but it hasn't hurt me by wearing it anyway.

2. It is doing something and it's helping protect me and those around me from catching a rather nasty virus.

I'm not saying I know which of the two it is but I don't mind either way.

Kids aren't getting the blame for the spikes, it's all the pub goers.

Now logically of course kids being back packed into classes like sardines, claiming kids are carriers, everyone could see that cases would rise with the school's reopening. Well most people could
