RJRB Â Â 677 #133 Posted July 13, 2020 The increase in using masks is probably necessary and overdue if you take any notice of what seems to have happened in the U.S and other countries who failed to control relaxations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You said there were 4000 cases that could be trebled.  that would mean there were 12000 active cases of a virus in a city of 500000 - so circa 1/45. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not even a little bit.  I’m simply providing you with facts.  You seem to find them difficult to deal with.  You’ll be wearing a face covering  within a few days, just like all Europeans.

janie48   92 #138 Posted July 14, 2020 We British have a tendency to be too self-conscious about our appearence, and how we appear to others. I can be just as guilty, it's a form of vanity in a way.  Felt a bit silly wearing a face mask at first when I went into Town the other day on the bus.  Soon got over the embarrassment when I saw so many other people wearing them though and knew I was doing the sensible thing, by protecting myself and others  So start wearing that face covering Makapaka, you'll soon get used to it.

iansheff   83 #141 Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Well I did my shop this morning not that many people wearing masks though, took me a little longer than usual as I had to keep stopping and taking my glasses off, they kept steaming because I was wearing a mask.

Correct. It's interesting to note that despite all we've done to mitigate the effects of the virus, the falling number of deaths, the actual average R rate across the UK is still the same as it was a couple of months ago, 0.7 - 0.9.  We are still perilously close to giving the virus the opportunity to run out of control again.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
casualbystander   0 #143 Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) So we are going to be dictated to about face coverings then??? simply a comfort blanket for the anxious pretty much especially as it wont be compulsory in other places like pubs, restaurants, gyms etc. what is the point in shops when most places have the plastic barriers anyway. in any case the virus is not as widespread now and 98.5% of people recover without problem, so what is the point? it seems also to be a political decision to appease.
