And what about the other obvious issue? If you're not army, trumpton, health service or dibble,you won't have been trained to remove it safely. The risk on an untrained person contaminating themselves upon removal, or cross contaminating upon disposal, negates the point of wearing masks or gloves at all.
It was wee Jimmy Krankie that recommended it, although she probably took that guidance from Gok Wan for all the science behind it.

do you have a vid of the approved removal system?

Hello decadence
My mask protects you, yours protects me. If I’ve got Covid (and are asymptomatic or symptomatic) I can’t reinfect myself by taking my mask off in the wrong way or in any way.

Not sure I would wear the pink shoes in the first one with a green bike and socks.
Lets put the numbers in to context, as it stands we know known infected cases stands at 0.27% of the population, those tested represents 1.78% of the population also most of those other than those infected will be those in high risk areas. As infected cases stand this ranks us 19th of all countries and city states. Deaths stands at 0.0419% of the population 6th highest, what is condemning is the death rate per number of cases and this stands at 15.72% the only other country/state (above 100 cases) higher in deaths/cases is Belgium where it is infected cases 0.43% however per% tested it is twice the number we have tested, so why is our deaths per infected so high compared with other places, is it masks, no this is % of cases that have been infected and died, that is down to care or ones own physical make up at the time of infection, and I don't think it's the care people have received.
If this virus kills certain groups, and others outside that, why is our %/cases so high, here is something for you to ponder, I read a report the other week, that over 80% of all covid-19 deaths were from areas of high pollution, namely nitrogen dioxide, in urban areas where the pollution was difficult to disperse, I have only seen the UK's area deaths once or twice, but the areas with high death rates London, and the Midlands seemed to back this up a little.
So back to the masks, what might help more is a serious long term reduction on pollution, and one wonders as cities go through a period of restricted travel and pollution does reduce, the death rates go down, I will leave you with that as to what will happen once everyone starts driving again ect.
One other thing about masks look up pictures of the Spanish flu and how many masks you can see, quite a few from images I have seen, offical figures puts the death toll at 30-50 million, some sources reckon up to 100 million world wide, this may be less than 1/2 million might be much more than that, but likely not the same as Spanish flu, however since the begining of the year 1,612,000 million have died from hunger related deaths 6.5x more.

This is why they are now compulsory here on public transport and in shops and I think schools. They'll certainly be mandatory at work. The goal is that if you are carrying the illness but aren't aware of it you don't then spread it onto others.

If the OP actually believes that this wasn't some folks' thing before Corona virus I'd suggest they know very little about fetishes.

Can you recommend any instructional video for this? I'm interested in how it's done.

Don't know if any folks on here remember the wondrous Laurence Corner.

Over the road I seem to remember they had a separate shop (or was it another bunch) that sold medical surplus clothes and gear, some of it rather serious and even alarming looking. Can't remember if I ever went in (too busy at the main shop perusing various uniforms, combat pants for wearing on my vespa, camouflage net (for decorating student house share) and one careful owner parachutes) but I always reckoned its primary market was medical fetishists.

If a fart can make it's way through a pair of underpants and jeans then how can a piece of cloth stop the corona virus?
Rocky
Hello decadence
Because a fart is basically methane gas and Covid is spread through water droplets sneezed or breathed out. There's a huge difference in size between a molecule and a water droplet. If a mask stopped the passage of gasses, then it would suffocate you....which is not particularly desirable.

What I love about this place - in amongst the pontificators, game players and like-hounds there are folk brave enough to break out of the bubble and dare to ask the questions that need to be asked.
edit - i see that it has been answered - but still well worth asking.

TBH, if you think you 'may' have the virus, you shouldn't be out anyway. Certainly won't be using public transport any time soon. PS the news is relatively encouraging about Roche having a reliable anti-body test.
How effective they are depends on what you are reading.
I think one of scurges of this period is that the pavements are littered with all the masks and especially the plastic gloves that people throw away once they come out of the supermarket. Don't they know what a dustbin is?
I can perfectly understand why someone might like to wear a mask to go into a shop but I do wonder about all the people I see driving with all the windows closed and wearing a mask. Inside a car on your own you are sufficiently far away from anyone else and I would have thought that the car's pollen filter system would probably be sufficient to trap Covid 19 anyway.
Then there are the girls who work in my local supermarket, many of whom wear masks but then remove them to stand in a group smoking outside the shop doors where customers have to walk past them
