H Wragg Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Aye same. I’ve also only saw one driver wearing* one *by wearing I mean he had it around his neck Drivers aren't required to wear one if their driving cab has a screen between them and Joe Public. I suppose it could be argued it would be a better look if they did but just in case you're thinking they're flouting the law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes the assistants. The mix of those who do wear the masks seems to be quite diverse. Not at all confined to just older people. Occasionally see people wearing gloves, but no mask. I don't use public transport at the moment, so can't comment on that. When shopping, I use a mask and gloves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why does it only last 20 minutes? True. You touch item and put it back and then you touch your face , next customer picks up item and puts it into trolley , person at the cashier ( pending if you do scan as you go ) then touches it and puts it back into trolley. 4 people have now touched as the filler who put it out also. Our masks according to guideline we wear for 20 minutes. Dispose and put a new one on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your dragon breath melt the masks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through out this they have did what they wanted and pretty much carried on like normal regardless of what guidelines were put in place. I use click and collect shopping. Simple and home within 5 minutes . Downside being dates on items potentially being shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disposable ones get moist really easily from your breath and when they are wet they don't offer any protection (I think) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just always find it bizarre when I see folk wearing them around their neck. I saw him again 15 mins later still with it around his neck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Does sanitising your hands regularly not do the job if you don't touch yourself afterwards? Well, not until you get home, at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be much easier just to sanitise your actual hands. Gloves are pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves are pointless.Some evidence that wearing gloves makes you less likely to touch your face (in a self conscious mind of way).Other than that, no difference. But your hands get pretty fucked when washing and sanitizing so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still shit . ( could buy my own granted) but then it's not me who is moaning about wearing masks in my work place. Sturgeon should have said to make it mandatory to wear one. She hasnt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your hands get pretty fucked when washing and sanitizing so much. I'd agree with this pretty much. What gets me is when you see someone pull into a garage, put gloves on to handle the pump that's had god knows how many hundred mockit folk handling it then keep their gloves on to go and pay, then get back in their car and drive off with the gloves still on. These folk will usually, but not exclusively, also have a mask on with their nose hanging out over the top of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if my skin has adapted or not, if that's even possible, but I use hand sanitiser quite a lot at work and at the start of this my skin was that dry that I ended up with the skin broken a bit on my knuckles.I'm still using the stuff just as much and my skin is fine.Is it possible some of the early stuff was produced in a hurry and a bit too 'crude'?
