I predicted there would be a face mask fetish once the corona virus crisis was over. It's already begun!

When you do a search for face masks and corona virus there is a lot of divided opinion in the medical world. The final outcome appears to be that they are not sure if it helps in everyday circumstances. . But it wont do any harm.
But someone will make a fortune out of it.

The reason you should wear a "mask", is if you think you may have, or, do know you have, symptoms of the dreaded. They WILL NOT STOP YOU FROM CATCHING IT!!!!!

See so many people using them when they don't need to. Going on public transport? Probably a good idea.

Absolutely. Only a respirator - not a cotton mask, surgical mask, or mask of any kind, worn with eye protection and a full head covering protects the wearers.

Masks and face coverings are thought to have a slight benefit in that if the wearer is infected it reduces the chances of them infecting others, but the effect is very minor.

The biggest effect, as old Boris has said, is psychological. They may give people the confidence to get back to work etc.

The lack of protection they give is indeed very, very well established. Many Doctors and pundits are suggesting otherwise, but none have yet to produce any authoritative evidence. The advice from the W.H.O. is, and always has been, that tasks have no protective effect and should not be considered as PPE.

The people who sucdenly kicked off the trend form wearing masks are the same eejuts who panic bought all the big roll. They're best off ignored.

A face covering is already a recommendation whilst in public in Scotland and it's inevitable to be compulsory in the workplace especially those places that struggle to maintain the 2m rule as there is evidence that it reduces the distance required to stay safe. As for the OP, the girls in the pictures are obviously very pretty but to me they look more designed to make mask wearing cool as it is to pander to any desire to satisfy any weirdos fetish.

Any other fetish predictions you would care to share with us after your extensive social service net trawls?

I'm not sure the Prof would agree with you........and the WHO advice for Covid is at odds with its advice on pandemic 'flu, where it does recommend the public to wear face coverings. This is worth a read:

https://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/369/bmj.m1435.full.pdf

'Masks are simple, cheap, and potentially effective. We believe that, worn both in the home (particularly by the person showing symptoms) and also outside the home in situations where meeting others is likely (for example, shopping, public transport), they could have a substantial impact on transmission with a relatively small impact on social and economic life'.

Why thank you sir, do you want the password?

Try this, light a match hold a piece of kitchen roll in front of your mouth and blow the match out. Now if somebody clse to you sneezes or coughs would you rather them have something covering thier mouths. I feel a mask helps protect others but not the wearer and I am certainly all for protecting others.

I’m not sure it was a WHO recommendation that Scottish people should wear masks.
