Do you wear one at the moment? Will you do when it becomes mandatory? How will it be policed? Will the government change their minds again before then?

I tried to buy some facemasks in April and I couldn't find any available in the UK at a reasonable price. I had to buy from China and it took 3 weeks to arrive.
If the government had said it was mandatory to wear a mask in public in April there would have been utter panic, the vast majority of folk wouldn't have been able to leave their house even for basic essentials.
Yes, they get steamed up and I can't see a thing.@xmiles wrote:I agree with okocha that this is all about getting people more confident about going out and buying stuff on the high street.
The medical logic is all over the place though. You don't need a mask in a pub or restaurant or school but you now have to wear one in a giant supermarket although the staff don't. In my local supermarket most of the staff are filling trolleys for online shoppers, hardly any of them are behind tills so the queues at checkout are worse than the queues to get in.
Not happy about the compulsory nature of this but I will comply. It is particularly irritating if you wear glasses.

I guess that means they died for us defending our freedom to act like a twat?

The need for physical reassurance (grooming in monkeys) is ingrained in the British psyche which is why we have more deaths per capita than Brazil, the USA, Spain, Italy, Sweden, France - in fact more than every country in the world apart from Belgium which has a population that's a sixth of ours and is practically surrounded by foreign countries.
We're a small island FFS!!! HTF can the government fail to control it in what is effectively a lab?

I'm assuming that its because offices have to be made Covid compliant.@xmiles wrote:
And you don't have wear a mask in an office. Even though you are in close proximity to others in a confined space for long periods of time. Can't see the logic or the science here.

"There is a difference between visiting a shop for a few minutes and working alongside colleagues at a desk for several hours," he said.
"When you're in close proximity with somebody that you have to work closely to, if you're there for a long time with them, then a mask doesn't offer that protection."
