Face masks......where to buy them??

[lane]

In what situations are you not allowed and who or what forbids it?

My daughter is not allowed to wear a face mask in school so in this case it is the school. My wife is not allowed to wear one at work - of if she wants to has to go through a process of seeking permission and have a good reason but the expectation is that will be the exception so could be refused. I am aware of other situations I do not want to go into detail on.

Mark, if I sneeze or cough without a mask on is more snot going to come out and travel further than if I do with one on.

I am from the Wirral and we dont have snot
We have pleasant smelling droplets of mucus that smell like rose water.
However, I am in agreement with you. The mask will help prevent others being affected by your sneeze.

Is any of that mandated by central government? Because by 'ourselves' I am including school governers, headteachers, PTAs, employers, trade unions etc, not just individuals.

Feeling a bit daft really, but I just could not come up with the right word to use, missing have a break over your way a lot at the moment, sure is a great place to be.

I find it interesting that you folks are dealing with rules that actually forbid wearing a mask in some situations. I’m not aware of any rules like that in the US. We just seem to have the opposite problem of idiots feeling their rights are being infringed upon so refuse to wear a mask. And because of them and our screaming orange sphincter muscle, we have maxed out hospitals in Florida and Texas.
The latest is that drumpf has ordered hospitals NOT to report their stats to the CDC and instead to report them to Washington DC. This is how he’ll keep us from knowing how bad things are so he can try and win an election. This guy is truly the most vile disgusting piece of garbage on the planet.

Sainburys, Morrisons, Tesco, & Lidl all saying they won't enforce mask wearing so I doubt the police are going to get involved.

Thanks, I thought you were suggesting there was some legislative force behind the situations you were alluding to. It's merely the decisions of individual organisations then, decisions which I'd be asking them to justify. I can see no harm arising to a school or business in someone choosing to wear a mask/face covering to minimise the spread of Covid.

I wish that people who don't want to wear masks would just be honest and stop coming up with BS excuses. We know why, stop pretending it's for scientific or even altruistic reasons, or that it's too difficult or some sort of assault on your freedom. It's not.

Wear a mask.

They taste lousy, leave a lousy taste in your throat, which they also dry out. And those with the metal bridge strip for the nose, have left metal stuck in the mouth.

Don't judge everyone on sight.

Our coop in Scotlandshire will not allow you into the shop without a mask so definite enforcement. Any argument and I think the other customers would probably turf you out. No idea of other supermarkets as I did not try any of them.

It certainly is and improving every year.
Some fabulous vehicle free cycling as well.

A face covering is not a landmine. It is not dangerous. It is a slight inconvenience but the overwhelming evidence shows that it is effective at source control for preventing viral spread. There have been no (high quality) studies from Asia (where masks have been worn traditionally) showing harm.

Something as simple as a buff could get us out of the dangers of a second wave and a tanked economy but people won't wear them. I find it completely incomprehensible. As for the shops - I think they'll have a few H&S court cases on their hands when staff end up on ICU having caught Covid from mask-less customers.

If doing something so simple protects others, it seems to me hugely selfish to refuse to do that.

Shop staff don't need to prevent mask-deniers entering, just refuse to process their purchase at the till. Folk in the growing queue will soon tell them to fark off.

Meanwhile as guy refused to leave the shop the right way died, the story is the store was operating a one-way system & one of the two men refused to use it, they got into an altercation & one sadly lost his life.

Round these parts you're sure to be told off pretty sharpish if you try to be an arse about it.

I dug a couple of almost forgotten about buffs out of the wardrobe today, they'll do if Wales make mask wearing compulsory.
