I have actually heard that - while not ideal - wearing a mask over the mouth only is still far better than not wearing one at all, at least in terms of protecting others. Most of the infection comes from droplets and those come from the mouth. Far less protective for the wearer. But I guess that's their choice to an extent.

People who refuse to wear masks are utter children. It's utter selfishness and it's pathetic.

Wear a mask in shops or stay the **** home.

Most sneeze particles come out of your mouth Ammi, if a sneeze came out of your nose the sinus pressure would pop your eyeballs out of their sockets .

This is sort of my view on it. People can debate effectiveness etc. and there's certainly a discussion to be had there but... It's such a small thing to have to do. It's barely an inconvenience, take the time to try out a few and find one that fits well (as admittedly, as a tall male, I had issues with them riding both up my chin AND down my nose) and after a whole you barely even notice you're wearing them.

So I just think even for those who are skeptical about them, why NOT wear one just in case? Why the defiance? It feels like "teenage rebellion" stuff... Just "I don't wanna because I'm being told I hafta" and that is just childish .

Surely the only adult responses are either "Yeah I believe it'll help so I'll do it" or "I don't really know how effective this is... but whatever its not a big deal".

All up his back. Me and my friend were kicked out assembly because we we had completely lost it, I could barely breathe with laughing. Ahh good times though.

These days it would be a full on biohazard, they'd have to evacuate the school .

..yeah can you imagine...it would be like something you would see in a movie when a ‘clean up team’ would be brought in within a few moments and with one phone call...


...(...that reminds me of this scene actually..)...

I met someone yesterday that thinks it's a covid conspiracy his aunt who is a 76yr old ex district nurse was diagnosed with Covid and the worry made her more ill with the stress of having covid... he didn't believe it was an accurate test.

This is what we're dealing with people. ...:/

I read recently that it is a bad idea to hold in a sneeze.

Noticed quite a fair few customers in work haven’t really bothered to wear masks. The thing is though is that we aren’t allowed to challenge them but I do find it a little selfish still I mean, they’ve only got to wear one for about 5-10 mins as opposed to us who have to wear them for 6-8 hours.

My wife always has a go at me for what she calls "performative dad-sneezes". I fully DENY the allegations that I try to make them as unreasonably loud and silly as possible.
