Why try and pick hypothetical arguments about it? The guidance is quite simple. Indoors, wear a mask. Just do it and everyone can get in quietly. because i think its a valid arguement about the subject. stopped using supermarkets weeks and weeks ago, along with othere i know, due to the restrictions put down for regulated shopping. over the last few weeks we have seen a few steps forward but now a big step back. will wearing of gloves be compulsory next inside places. what would you or anyone class as the final straw in being told by the government what you can or cannot do. I don’t think it is a valid argument. I think this government is a shitshow and embarrassment but can’t argue with the wearing of masks. It’s not to tel you what to do, it’s to help stop the spread. How valid the mask is, I don’t know. But it certainly won’t make things any worse. And it’s to protect other people, not inconvenience you. If you stop going to supermarkets because you have to queue for five mins midst a global pandemic then I’m not really sure how to help you.

Wearing a mask round Tesco isn't a challenge to personal liberty, it's common courtesy to the other people in the shop fine, but what about where you are the only person in the one out one in corner shop. still waiting for someone to persuade me of the total nonesence about that one. The shopkeeper not in there with you? Just put a mask on for five minutes it’s not going to kill you - though ironically not wearing just might.

The virus spreads by oral droplets, can hang around in the air for up to an hour. If everyone wears a mask then the chance of someone with the virus spreading it is greatly reduced. It's not about you, it's about all of us.

The rules in Spain are much clearer. We know were we stand. There is very little confusion. its the same though in this country. its more about people being wound up by anomolies in things . its written in black and white what you can or cannot do.for getting petrol, what does annoy us non mask wearers is having to wear one in a corner shop where they have a one in one out policy. that is so different than going into a large supermarket. as for getting fuel, why cannot they just open an outside pay point like they used to do or do so at night for security. saves a lot of ill feeling both ways. You may not be able to wear a mask in every situation you find yourself in, but each time you can and do helps in the prevention of a possible spread of the infection. I find it sad that some people seem unable/unwilling to do a simple thing that could benefit the wider population with little or no negative impact to them for doing so.

Good British Common Sense.
Or in other words when / if it all goes tits up the Great British Public will be the architects of the disaster by not using Common Sense.

Anyone else getting tired of the conspiracy theorists and ‘project fear’ brigade?
Some right morons on Social Media that don’t have two brain cells to rub together that have turned in to COVID experts and have come to the conclusion it’s the government trying to have a blanket control over everyone and we’re all sheep for following the guidelines.
Wearing a mask is no different to wearing a hard hat on a building site. Nobody really wants to do it but guess what? It’s better than not wearing one and ending up being a statistic for the reason why you should.

Wearing a hard hat on a building site only protects your swede if half a brick lands on it from 30 feet. Very rarely does it protect other workmen nor does it protect the families of other builders from falling masonry and scaffolding within the home.
It's fookin obvious though isn't it?. 50,000 people are dead and those mourning the loss of loved ones have to listen to fookin idiots trying to come up with excuses for not doing something that might stop others going through the same shit.

think at the end of the day people on my side of the fence will just do more on line shopping with a really big supermarket home delivery. actually think we will be entering a new permanent way of life for the forseable future. once winter kicks in there will be the usual flu outbreak where restrictions may be used again as corona will be still about in some form or another. for me a precident has been set and will we ever see the old normal back for years if ever.

One thing the govt has got right is the plan to offer the flu jab to half the population which will ease pressure on hospitals.
