vikingTON Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 4 hours ago, Snafu said: As you are probably aware both the leadership in Scotland and in Northern Ireland have been recommending the wearing masks for a few weeks now so at the moment it is up to the individual because its advised rather than mandatory and with the lack of face masks worn earlier on in the crisis or rather the shortage of masks many companies who's staff deal with the public have already taken steps to protect their employees with screens and also the use of gloves when handling cash. I'm with you there on the UK government should do, but will they? They resisted pressure in April to even consider the public should wear masks because the 'science' didn't support this despite the WHO at the beginning of the month recommending the use. A month later and 'the science' has told them to advise the public that masks should be worn in public places where social distancing can't be maintained. What science are they following here?? Do you wear a mask in public spaces? Yes, though as masks are mandatory in work anyway it has mostly been for public transport to and from there during the lockdown. The Science is a moving entity that governments use to cover their back. The facts show that countries who adopted widespread face mask use early have come through the spring outbreak very well indeed. The UK on the other hand has made just about every wrong call possible, all of which are apparently based on the same science available to those pesky continentals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pandemic has showed up that attitude at the highest level and to the highest cost imaginable. I think a lot of folk will hopefully be re evaluating what's possible in life and seeking to protect themselves accordingly. Theres also the way in which lots of companies have already acted and much more to come on the back of it. It's good sense to prepare for the war to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beria Cummings I think he's a ringer for Brain from Pinky and The Brain, though he has glasses and less brains of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
