Re: Corona Virus
I look forward to the day when people on the news will be able to meet their guests live in the studio rather than talk to folk via a webcam.
Why? Because I'm fed up looking up peoples noses it seems that the angle they place their cameras is perfect to focus on those errant and often bushy nasal hairs that have been allowed to grow wild during lock down. https://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/img/ieU...6-50-pro-2.jpg |
Re: Corona Virus
Less, do not mock those uncut nasal hairs....given a smear of Vicks,(or Vaseline)they are ideally placed sentinels to trap harmful bacteria and viruses.

Re: Corona Virus
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. |
Re: Corona Virus
Yes, well, this move to make them law will have a negative effect on me going shopping (after all in normal times it wasn't something I ever did for pleasure), they want me out there buying as much as I can from shops then make entering these establishments restrictive.
All through lock down I went out and did my shopping kept within guidance, but now I intend to do my shopping online which won't help the local economy at all, after all I'm free in the pub but as you say shops will no longer will be comfortable. |
Re: Corona Virus
Less, I am with you on this.
I did what was required during the lockdown. I think that I went out for less than an hour every two weeks. But I will not be wearing a mask to go into any shops. If this had been implemented at the start of the pandemic that would have been different. We were told by scientists at that time that masks had little or no value in curtailing the spread of infection.....so what has changed. Was it that Nicola Sturgeon brought in mask wearing and Boris felt sidelined.....or is it just a knee jerk reaction?. Whatever, I think this will be the nail in the coffin of shopping on the High street. People who have shopped online will go back to that. Shopping is joyless and has no pleasure in it at all....I never thought I would say that. |

Re: Corona Virus
Cashy I think things have eased greatly since those early days.
Daughter did an online order this morning and it is coming tomorrow afternoon. |

Re: Corona Virus
It is the mask wearing that is the problem for me.
So as Less said, going early makes no difference. My daughter orders from Iceland and Ocado.....she has had no problems getting her family groceries. |

Re: Corona Virus
I have today, been speaking to the staff in shops and have been assured that if I can identify as having a problem that means wearing a face mask is not possible....I will not be required to wear one. You do not need confirmation from a doctor and you do not need to disclose your medical issue.
So I will be making myself a badge that tells everyone I am exempt....and I will take it from there. |
