But surely if social distancing is done properly there is no need for masks? Just as everyone does not have to wear disposable gloves every time they leave the house, as regular hand washing is the advice given? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wearing a mask too (but no visor). Are you asking people to wear masks in cinema b4? Well as it stands at the moment some do and some dont we have asking guests to do so but we cant force but as of next week that might change.

I understand that not all can wear a mask, it is not clear why you are not keen on masks. out of interest where do you stand on vaccination ? I wouldn't choose to wear a mask, it's not a massive thing just that it's an unnecessary annoyance. But I would if necessary. I just don't think there is much evidence it is particularly useful and with the other interactions people are having, passing someone momentarily in a shop seems very minimal risk, as compared.. to my kids in school, me in an office, people sat in pubs, visiting friends /relatives, congregating on parks. I have started doing much more online buying of clothes etc and this will increase my aversion. My kids are fully vaccinated and the scaremongering about them really bugged me in the past. But if we hastily rush them through, it would give me more pause for thought if kids aren't generally getting 'ill' from Covid and we are pumping them full of anything remotely unknown to prevent them getting it.

Mucker1884 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It beggars belief just how many folk have been bombarding their doctors surgery with calls on this... Just received this auto text from "NHS-No Reply"... Please note we will not be issuing doctors notes regarding exemption from wearing masks. The government expects everyone to act reasonably and patients just have to explain to the transport operator, shop or the health care facility why they are not able to wear one. Thank you.

Dear, oh dear! To be fair, it's dangerous trying to set fire to mobile phone masks. One of them sparks hits your mask, goes right up in flames.

Fair points and it does not bother me that much although where i am now in 30+ degrees heat it does get warm on my face. I just think it's not the be all and end all but if it helps even a little it's worth doing until we get a vaccine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 The country is now being told to use common sense in how we as individuals deal with this pandemic. Good to see the people who have been claiming to know how to deal with the coronavirus are now passing on this responsibility to the general public. But going by how a number of snowflakes are reacting to being asked to wear a mask. It looks as if common sense is in short supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nothing would have been done about it because of fear of a response from people like you and these are the results that we get. Give it a couple of weeks and you will be moaning that not enough was done to protect these communities. Reap what you sow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the article I didn't see anything racist just a statement of fact and helping draw attention to the fact that certain communities seem to be at greater risk. Funny how people can read different things into the same statement. I don't remember anyone calling it ageist or sexism when it has been highlighted that the older you are the greater risk you were at or that men seemed to be more vulnerable (don't know if that's still the case).

It looks as if common sense is in short supply Personally snowflakes would be the people demanding everyone wear masks in shops 'just in case' whilst everywhere else where people mix in much closer quarters, no one is bothering. Then spitting their dummies out if anyone questions the point of it. But, that's common sense isn't...nothing common about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
