Who's In Favour Of Mandatory Face Coverings?

[diddlydo]

Looks like we'll have no option after 24 July - or is this the time for civil disobedience?

I will be a lot more likely to go shopping if everyone is wearing a face mask. So yes, I will be wearing mine.

[TonyV]

It is just common sense to use one when out and about. IMO.

[youngmafbog]

BA to 10C.

No I am not in favour of them now. Sacks of more control of the masses.

Of course could be to do with the fact the Governemtn have poured a bucket load into the UK to produce masks and now dont want it to be a lame duck. Whiles true youdont have to wear an actual mask most will go that route.

"It is just common sense to use one when out and about"

In the early days I may have agreed with you, now no.

All this will do is drive angered people away from the high Street and scare witless a laod more who wont go either as they will believe the 'second spike' is about to happen. It is doing the opposite of what Rishi is trying to do with the economy.

BEST ANSWER to 10CS. For his last 4 words, that is.

[douglas9401]

Utterly clueless.

[Canary42]

Any measure has to be mandatory otherwise all the 4Ds just ignore it as we've seen time after time.

[TonyV]

ymb people are still dying with cause being diagnosed as Contra virus.

[dannyk13]

Tony, ymb will ignore anything that does not support his argument.

[ToraToraTora]

I hardly ever go to a shop in normal times anyway so this will just make sure I don't. Bleedin ridiculous, 10CS at 07:35 is bang on. Never thought I'd be saying that but these are unusual times. It's like the flat earth society have taken over.

[youngmafbog]

"Tony, ymb will ignore anything that does not support his argument."

No I dont, just because I dont reply on here is because I have work to do, cant just sit on here all day and its difficult to type on a roof.

People are still dying but it is now very small and debatable whether its covid. In addition most deaths are in care homes so not contracted in shops. Open you eyes and stop being spoon fed by the MSM and Government. Are you going to stop going in cars because you have a far higher risk there?

Jackdaw33. I am having my hair cut today and have been told to wear a face mask.
I do wear a face mask when I shop and I wear glasses, so it's not ideal, so I have ordered a face shield to try that instead. That being said, although I am extremely vulnerable etc. other people not wearing face masks doesn't bother me, as I only shop when there are few people about. Maybe I'm lucky where I live though, and other people can't do this.

[bhg481]

Can I believe what I read? Is TTT saying that Boris is issuing bad advice?

[New Judge]

//OG, and when the death rate escalates, what then?//

Strangely they've been on the decline for quite a while. The measure does not come into force until 24th July. What will happen between now and then?

[youngmafbog]

It will just drive people into a panic thinking the 'second wave' must be coming. No thought whatsoever it seems from Boris.

[dannyk13]

NJ, at thye moment there are at least three towns/cities (on e is mine) where the number of cases has increased and it stands to reason that the more infections the chance of more deaths.

[Jackdaw33]

Precisely. If it were that necessary it should have been implemented immediately. Instead we have to wait a fortnight. Ludicrous.

[tiggerblue10]

Yep, anything that stops bad breath reaching my nose is all good ;o))

[youngmafbog]

And on the subject of thought, no one seems to be thinking of the deaf.

One of my daughters is deaf, she lipe reads. Well not now all she gets is angry Hitlers in Hi Viz vest shouting at her because she cant understand what they are on about. She is also pregnant and its a right nightmare. As she works in a Care Home, where no one really bothered about the workers there, she now has little time for Bojo and Hancock - and she has been a staunch Tory all her life.

[youngmafbog]

"and it stands to reason that the more infections the chance of more deaths."

Well only if you ignore the fact testing and tracing has increased and oddly enough that will find more cases. But hey why let little facts like that get in the way of a good panic?
