Face Masks On Buses

[smurfchops]

Saw a few people on buses today without face masks. Nothing done about it. And nothing will be done in shops either. Another Boris Bumble.

How do you mean “airborne”?

Virus travels through the air indeed

[Baldric]

Bueno, thanks for that at 0008, hadn't realised but to be fair we don't use public transport.

[fiction-factory]

By airborne I think it's been suggested that as well as being passed by droplets from someone sneezing/coughing near you it can also float around in the air, perhaps in places which recirculate air but also outside

[ichkeria]

Ah ok.
Which would if you think about it make mask wearing largely pointless unless you had one on all the time.

[diddlydo]

Ichkeria - indeed. So why comply with this stupid face mask rule?

[ichkeria]

I'll comply as I'm a good boy :-)

Everyone in the supermarket this morning was behaving as far as I could see. ...

[david small]

I don’t do buses darling.

[TonyV]

Had mine on this morning, feels very oppressive, but cannot get into shops without one on, feel sorry for assistants that have to wear them for the whole of their shift.

[TonyV]

Ichkeria will not be leaving house without one on, although they are not very efficient.

[ichkeria]

I think shop assistants are exempt, tho encouraged
I agree I couldn't wear one for a while day unless I had to for a job treating people

[TonyV]

A person at my local shop does not wear one, instead a full face mask.

staff at our Waitrose seem to wear face shields rather than masks, which are probably more comfortable if you have them on all day

[ichkeria]

Many will be behind Perspex or whatever screens anyway

[jno]

they are, but they keep the shields on when stacking shelves etc.

I was in Morrisons at 09.45 today, apart from some children everyone was wearing a mask or face covering, including staff. I was pleasantly surprised.

[ichkeria]

Is that genuine?
It’s never a wise move to tell someone to calm down when they aren’t at that point het up :-)

[Bobbisox1]

Of course it's genuine ( ;0))

No matter what happens Boris will describe it as another "Stunning Success"
