Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

Love the irony on a golf forum that people can argue the need to wear long socks, dress codes in clubhouses etc (because it is the rules) but not the need to wear a face c covering during a global pandemic because they cannot see the benefit, but it is the rules. (not aimed at anyone in particular just speaking generally)

I've seen a study that said that there is a strong correlation between those that think they do not need not wear a mask and very selfish right wing man babies who think Toby Young talks sense and do not care about anything unless they personally benefit. Think it was published in The Lancet. Or Viz.

Cases up the last two days. Tests up as well, apparently, so hoping that accounts for it but a bit worrying.

The same people who will shout at you for telling them to wear a mask will also shout at you for not wearing a poppy.

Track & Trace in Scotland is going to be easy as it appears that one of the call centres up there is under investigation for suspect out break of Covid

Still not as bad as those who lie to their work colleague to get them to remove their poppy!

There's a study that suggests those who refuse to wear face masks have lower cognitive ability. It's been published in The Sun which is possibly because only those with lower cognitive ability read it.

Seen so many people wearing a mask incorrectly with the nostrils uncovered so basically offering no protection to the virus entering the body via the nasal passage. Yes it is uncomfy and yes it is a pain but it is something that will be here for a while so if you have to wear one surely you'd ensure it was on properly

Like any protective gear, if you dont know what you doing it's more of a danger than nothing. How many people will immediately wash their hands when they remove the mask.

That's a damning inditement ?

I agree 100% but there has been so much publicity across the press and TV media and social media on how to wear the masks there really isn't any excuse. I would suggest that most people aren't washing their hands regularly at all let alone after touching the mask. That message we had all the time at the start of the outbreak has gone by the wayside but definitely needs reinforcing

To be honest I have not seen a single public information film on TV telling me how to wear a mask properly - and then what to do when I take it off (disinfect hands asap). And I am not thinking of some minister on the news or in a briefing telling me I should wear one in scenario X but don't need to in scenario Y. Should I not be seeing these (getting deluged by them) on TV, on YouTube, in the newspapers, and all over social media? Maybe they are there and I've missed them. And I am not aware that I received something through the mail from the government explaining?

All this for just looking to flatten the curve

Should you be seeing them, or should you simply be reading the instructions on the packet it came in.

The amount of money it would cost to make a public film would be a waste of money and resources. Plus it wouldn't stop morons wearing them wrongly.

Do you really need to be taught/shown how to wear a mask?
Haven't you seen any pictures of nurses wearing masks in the last 4 months?
Let me help

I’ve worn a mask when going to the shop since lockdown began, I’ve washed the shopping before putting it away, I religiously wash my hands, but until this weekend had not heard either on here or anywhere else about making sure you wash your hands after removing the mask, maybe people will do it subconsciously, but many may not.

How many people won’t carry gel etc in their car or in a bag etc so won’t be cleaning their hands when they get back in in the vehicle and take off the mask when travelling from place to place.

I was under the impression that the mask was worn to prevent you spreading anything into the air around you, not to stop you breathing in anyone elses breath.

Agreed, but you could be passing it on or it picking up via the hands.

I have also seen plenty people wearing masks incorrectly on TV, some even dropping them down to talk to shop staff.
Perhaps a simple public film would help but there again if they are that stoopid perhaps not.
