Re: Corona Virus

Apparently if you visit hospital, are in hospital, or work in a hospital.....the rules are you must wear a mask AT ALL TIMES.....really?
Poor patients, poor staff....how will they go on at meal times?

This edict might have been useful at the start of the lockdown(though there is some who believe that the peak had already passed by the time lockdown started) but now?

And anyone wanting to get on a bus or train will have to wear a mask.....well, no....not a mask, but a face covering.
How does that prevent the spread of the virus?
The answers is it doesn't...but it makes it look like the powers that be are taking some decisive action.
Wearing a mask will not prevent you picking up the virus(it might even make you more likely to get it...people warring masks, face coverings touch their faces more frequently so may transfer the virus from hand to their mouth accidentally.

Once a mask or face covering becomes moist with exhaled breath, it makes it easier for bacteria and viruses to pass through it.
