Face masks again

Never thought to look.

It was just after 6 and I was only buying a sarnie.

 

If you’d have sat down, in the aisle, and eaten your sarnie, you’d have been exempt from wearing a mask anyway.
The rules on this are crystal clear....after being vaguely clarified about 16 hours ago...

 

Sarnie was crap by the way.

Ham and Mustard.

3/10.

 

You all seen the rules for public transport in Wales? No running for bus, no reading a newspaper. Keep telling us it’s ‘reasonable and proportionate’:

Looks like a lot of places aren't forcing it going by MSM articles and you can't blame them. It's not worth the hassle for staff to make someone do at a time we are getting record low death days to do something you didn't ask of them at the peak. High street media photos in the coming weeks will look even more dead then they have for the past month.

 

Just had my first trip to Asda since masks came into force.
Arrows for one way system have been removed. This coupled with the masks seems to mean social distancing is no longer needed. Everyone just as close as normal now they have mask on.
Great to see the staff wondering around the store not having to wear them. Presumably they can't infect anyone as the virus will know they are at work.
Also be careful by the doors as it seems as soon as people cross the threshold to leave they rip the mask off and take in a nice deep breath.

 

All staff had them on when I went in and so did everyone else. The 2m rule no longer seems to apply though?

 

They didn't all have them on, some had them around their necks if that counts. Not sure the 2m ruler ever applied in supermarkets but people seemed noticeably closer to each other.

So Spain have had thousands of new infections even though they love a mask, which goes to show how useless they are when you're told not to wear a medical one. For all the Covid that could be on them when you remove them we still don't have Covid bins out and about so the binmen know they are handling rubbish that's got them in, which if it was so dangerous you'd expect to be a thing. People in masks get more complacent. I have found it's those in masks that don't social distance as well and the idea of making people wear gloves as well would just be plain stupid and make people more complacent when it comes to washing their hands.

Some shops still not taking cash but happy to touch what you're buying off them and for you to tap numbers into the keypad that have been touched however many times. The mess of 2020 will never be forgotten and with legislation in place for at least the next 12 months, those who wanted face coverings made mandatory can now see it's not going to be a short term thing.

 

I had to venture out into shops to day as part of work which meant wearing a mask. What I noticed was just how many people were walking around constantly touching their faces. Either pulling masks up and down, on and off or just generally tugging at them rearranging them. I'm the kind of person who looks around a lot and notices things like this but it was really quite astonishing. I saw a couple of people touch their face, adjust the mask they had been breathing into and then immediately pick up food and put it back down for someone else to pick up.
Also couldn't help but notice just how close people suddenly were to each other. They were so close that if half of them had got erections they'd have penetrated the person in front.

And don't get me started on asking what's the point in shoppers wearing masks and being told to use a one way system if you've got shop workers walking mask free in through exit doors and up the down aisles.

A school forcing kids to wear masks all day long and WHO telling us we aren't going back to old normal. Get used to less freedom and more of a communist China feel because as more and more rules are brought in and more so called experts who haven't had a clue during all this keep speaking, the more I think that even with a vaccine the old life we loved will not be allowed to return.

 

Went to get a few bits from the shops in South Elmsall yesterday. If mask wearing is now mandatory it seems that this snippet of information has not yet reached our little corner of West Yorkshire. At a guess, I would say mask wearing was at 40% tops.

 

Was that in the shops or just outside?

 

Both. There were probably some that were putting on and taking off as they went in and out of stores. Some with it half on not covering their nose. And most of the shop staff didn't bother.

 

Masks brought in at the wrong time.

 

7 day rolling average for UK (Ok, England) has ticked up from 60 to 65 deaths/day in last week and averaging 760 positive tests /day.

And just to show that it isn't just killing people, 20% of those in USA aged 18-34 are not recovered after the normal recovery period (2-3weeks), with 35% of all cases - up to 1.5m people in the USA alone, and the list of long-term effects is very sobering:



"Cognitive effects are as common as a cough"

 

Sorry - are you really putting up the ramblings of one random mentalist on Twitter as serious evidence of all these bizarre symptoms? Honestly?

 

I've been arguing that masks can reduce your own viral load from the beginning...thus at least lessening severity - and now the experts are belatedly coming to that conclusion as well.
