If you have grown that kind of facial hair you won't need a stupid face mask....you would scare all the other shoppers away and have the shop to yourself.

On the issue of face masks....for them to be effective against you transmitting viruses/bacteria/infective agents, the mask has to fit closely to the contours of the face....so the bearded ones out there are still transmitting....but that is ok....the face mask is a visible sign that you are compliant and it makes it look like the government is doing 'something'.
It is not the right thing.....the right thing would have been to stop importing the virus into the country in February by making incoming passengers go through health checks and even making them quarantine for two week...or they get back on the plane that they landed on.

It makes no sense at all to allow people to go to the pub....no mask required, but twenty minutes shopping in Asda, social distancing, hand sanitising but you have to wear a useless mask.
Totally inconsistent, but then this is the blind leading the blind and impressionable.

The government have identified factories to produce five million masks per week....these are to be sold to the mugs who think that wearing a mask will protect them(and there are a lot of people who think that wearing a mask will do that)....they do not realise that it will only stop them from passing on bacteria....viruses may still be passed.....they are much smaller than bacteria.
And, once the mask is moist from exhaled air,it becomes a gateway to your respiratory system for all kinds of pathogens.
