Have you even sneezed into your hand and immediately regretted not using a handkerchief as a big blob of wet snot lays nestled in the lines of your palm?

Oh, and a mask with a valve only helps the wearer, not the poor sods you breathe your germs on.

I wear a mask in the supermarket to save the staff and customers feeling awkward
I rarely bother in the petrol station except one I went in with big mandatory mask signs, asked for a couple of free ones if he had them for me and my mate. Sure he said, **** then charged me £1.25 for 2 blue paper ones and about 6 people came in without one

Presumably that's 15 to 20% effective in prevention of infection for the wearer but its logical that it would be much more effective if worn by an infected person to prevent transmission at the source.

Oh good grief...

Still the same guff about masks?

It's simple. A mask is 0 per cent effective if not worn. Once put on then there is a measurable increase in the efficiency in terms of transmission for the wearer and for others. And any increase is a good thing.

Ffs

Condoms aren't 100 per cent effective either - I expect if some of you asked your parents they'd back that up...

Don't wear them any longer and if folk have a problem with that then they're the ones that continue to be ruled by fear. I suppose in a way it's a positive moving on from behind that sofa.

Alternatively if one wants to wear one then crack on.

Was thinking of dressing up in some sort of astronaut clothing with signs of ‘covid won't get me' on my back. All for charity though, anyone be interested in sponsoring me?.

You might be joking but... I genuinely saw an advert for '5G protection suits' with a photo of two loons in what appeared to be hooded versions of the overalls I used to wear in the shipyard...

It's ironic that apparently the ones who wear the masks are living in fear, but the big brave antis are too scared to take a little jab, funny old world ain't it

,,'living in fear' or 'basic common sense '

I guess it depends on your personal perspectives eh?

I wear a mask, just do as asked.
I don't give a hoot what Boris / government is accused to have done, at some point they'll fall on their sword.

I've not even had a cold since this covid has started so it says to me masks must have some effect, I've not had covid either.

What a daft nonsensical comparison.

You crack on with your endless boosting like a heroin addict to the moon and I'll just sit back all comfy and watch the live test experiment unfold.

Still not getting it.

I can't remember where I read it but some 5g protection bracelets were actually radioactive
I don't think it's fair to brand somebody a coward for not having the vaccine. It's not about bravery

I totally understand people not wanting the jab, personal choice. But refusing to wear a mask is just stupid. It takes **** all to wear a mask. Most people spend their whole lives doing something they'd rather not (work). So why kick off about a mask? Even if it makes 1% difference, just wear the thing ffs.
And as for people who take the piss about those that do I.e. "face nappy" (TeeCee).... **** off you absolute ****. Grow up.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
