Maybe the guy had breathing difficulties which can be exacerbated by wearing a mask

If he had a condition of breathing difficulties problems, then no way should he be out, he should be shielding still.

Not standing in queues, to go into an indoor area unprotected.

Going after drug dealers is the most backwards thing imaginable. America, with all their resources have been fighting this war for half a century. Crazy that the US is more tolerant of drug use than us.

The vast majority of people complaining about masks have no reason to and are being pure drama queens. If a piece of loose fabric is enough to give you troubles breathing (and you're not just saying so to get out of being mildly inconvenienced for the benefit of everyone around you) then you shouldn't be out. If you're an exception then fine but most people who whine about masks are just being selfish bitches tbh.

Medical staff have managed to keep people alive and perform surgery with double the PPE on so the vast majority of people have no excuse.

Then he shouldn't be out there considering he's at risk. There are plenty of alternatives for people to get food and other services delivered. If you have a condition, stay tf home.

And by the way, the UK not enforcing masks in public transport is the worst idea they've had in a long time. Here in France it's mandatory and one seat out of two is blocked from sitting on it. It's a great idea and makes people think twice about doing something stupid. Although we've seen fights in the tube or in buses because passengers told other passengers to not sit here etc etc

This a 1000%. Surgeons/medical staff work for hours with masks on and yet none of them seem to die on a regular basis from wearing them.
People are pussies. Grow up, it's not high school anymore. I don't get what's so complicated, it's literally a piece of fabric that does nothing but to protect you and other people.

We have tax dodgers getting a free ride, and in the midst of BLM and the way black people are treated differently when it comes to drug use/distribution, this is what she wants to do? It's to look tough on crime whilst continually picking at those on the poor end of society.

They could raid all the bankers, journalists, and politicians and really put a dent in the cocaine market, but we know that's not going to happen.

Try lifting a 75 inch tv screen and its box it's in up 4 flights of stairs after you've dragged it in 28 degree heat round a couple of corners in the centre of london.

Then having to put a mask over your sweating gasping mush before walking into a muggy flat.

Dripping half of your life away on a Persian rug as you get the job done.

Your back to the customer, but feeling the eyes burning into the back of your head making you ooze more juice over the floor..


I swear I nearly squeezed a good LT sized nip from my silk mask during the heatwave we got last month.


So I hate them, I wear them on buses, not been on a train for a bit nut I wont be wearing them in the shops

I've seen to many people flouting the public transport suggestion.

It's the stairs, the tv, and the muggy flat in that scenario that's the problem, not the mask.

But what I'm saying is that after that, the nightmare of having to restrict your face further can be an issue that probably puts them at more risk cause of all the dripping grease I'm leaving in thier house if I was a corona carrier.

On the mask though, i might get one of those John McEnroe headband sweatband things for the next bout of heat...

You are wrong as well...cause its purely the heat and mask that's the problem cause I ain't sweating when its mild.

Masks are mandatory on public transport in the UK there is a 20 person limit on double decker buses and 10 on single deckers

Well no because there's as yet no evidence of virus transmittance through sweat, and in fact little evidence of it spreading through anything other than mucus and cough/sneeze droplets. So fear not Parmy. It doesn't matter how much you're sweating - you are doing your best to protect your customers by wearing a mask.

In the shops it’s not an issue for me given they only leave a certain amount in at one go but I wear one any way

Oh....


So if it's not in your faeces, then I can actually ask to use the toilet...

Obviously saying "really quickly" so they know I mean a pee..

Not now though I can **** guilt free again.

in some countries like Germany, Austria it has signs to wear face masks if there are more people than you near the restroom

i'd suggest using one of the sitting toilet areas to pee in public, as with that door closed you can take off your mask once just to get some air too before exiting that with mask on again

but also standing toilet areas in those countries are marked with 1.5 or 2 metres distance between them with a X
