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.

So why did we have PI films for such as the Green Cross Code back in the day? If it is important as we are being told and understand it to be, then of course we can have PI films on how to wear a facemask and what do do subsequently - after all the government managed to find money in the lead up to end Jan telling us and business about something else about to happen and what we should do.

But wasn't the Green Cross Code campaign aimed at the under 10's ? (Do kids that age even have to wear masks)

This was mainly targeted at the young because of the rise in car ownership and traffic in towns.

Wearing a mask/face covering is surely common sense because the names/words themselves are pretty descriptive!

Why are you arguing against something that quite obviously could be of use in containing the spread of the virus - that would hammer home the message.

I am not ''arguing against something that quite obviously could be of use in containing the spread of the virus'', and you know it, I was questioning why you feel the government should make a film teaching us how to wear a flippin mask.
On the contrary, I always wear a mask on the rare occasions I leave the house to buy food.

Because it appears that many people 1) do not know how to wear a mask properly and why it must be worn so 2) what to do once they strop wearing the mask, and 3) as many seem reluctant to wear a mask, or still don't understand why they should... it seems sensible to hammer home exactly when we must; when we should; and when we are not required to do so.

To teach under 10s how to cross a road safely in a decade where, social media, newspapers and Google didn't exist.

We are now in the 2020s, any such PI video would be an absolute waste of money when there are already 1000s + free information articles about on the subject matter already. You're quick to say government should and must do these things but they're already out there you just want spoon feeding where to find them or merely want another cause to moan about something that's already adequately placed for all to see.

When I read these recent posts on the need to be shown how to wear mask etc I thought it was a wind-up - I'm rather aghast and dumbfounded that I was mistaken.

Doesn't seem that long ago though we were being instructed, by seemingly everybody and his mate, on how to wash our hands in the correct manner... And, my lad advises, when he or any of his team attend site H&S briefings/courses correct manner/use of masks is now included...

By our PM amongst others - did he think we were children? And indeed as you lad finds indeed it should be, but somehow the public doesn't need continual reminding and the message hammered home - even better if it is pushed to them by other-than-politicians.

If your understanding of the issue is that it is droplets in your breath carried out by speaking, singing; shouting; coughing etc that carry the virus - then you might not think you have to cover your nose - and even if you did realise that you had to cover your nose you might think it less important to do so as covering your nose makes breathing through you nose a little more difficult and we tend not think of ourselves as breathing out droplets through our nose.

Look just get a few celebs explaining, demonstrating and reminding us of the basics - we are used to getting basics explained - after all we all have to watch the exit doors and life-jackets video every time we go on a plane.

You are creating a debate I was not entering. Note that at no stage was I talking about the efficacy of face covering for either the wearer or the public with whom they interact i
