Well apparently its the WHO that has changed their advice, they said at first face masks were not that helpful ,they have now changed their minds so I don't know what the government is expected to do

it's not just that, if boris had said a few weeks ago that masks were compulsory, labour and the rest of them would have been saying did you consult industry before doing it etc etc. Face masks make no difference whatsoever if you social distance, thats plain and simple. Making masks compulsory means they will squash more into enclosed spaces, and that will ultimately be worse

USA, Brazil, UK are among those so yeah i can think of their disappointing reactions having played a part too in Boris's decision to step it up with the face masks being a must in shops too

i do know info on other countries Germany has also given advice to its people who are on holiday in other countries such as spain to wear face masks (most do, but some others don't who find them too uncomfortable) my own country, hmm nothing on this yet, however we are taking other precautionary steps in terms of that upcoming second wave, like what i said in other coronavirus thread here ''local lockdowns, not another national lockdown'' more like strict observation at all times, and immediately contain the infected, since this virus is no longer a surprise now (unlike start of this year)

The masks do work, it's a proven fact and has been for a while. I'm sorry that your government messed up so badly, I hope everyone now follows the guidelines and that new cases stop popping up soon.

Also it was 37º here yesterday and I wore a mask in the hallway of my apartment building, walking out on the street since I'd be passing a lot of elderly people's houses and in the supermarket of course, there's no excuse.

That is true however the WHO changed the advice several weeks ago and the UK has been dragging their heels deciding on whether or not to implement it being mandatory. This isn't a Scottish brag either - it was only made mandatory here at the end of last week. It's been mandatory in other European countries for much longer. |

Honestly I suspect they were waiting to see how it went in Scotland before deciding. They were worried about the backlash/non-compliance so they waited to see how it went down in Scotland. So far it seems like people are doing it without too much grumbling, so now England is going ahead with it. If there had been a lot of trouble over it up here, I don't think they'd be doing it down sarf.

He’s said he’s hesitant to implement a mandate for masks because the behaviour of people wearing them changes, our medical officers have been paying attention to places with mandates and mask wearers show signs on negligence when it comes to social distancing because they feel safe wearing their mask, I personally thinks that’s a dumb move, but we’ve got a significantly lower death and infection rate than England, we’d be better off to still introduce a mandate though

They only had a notice outside saying things like one or two in the shop at any time. With markings showing 2m distance. All I saw was that complied with and people queueing correctly to get in. I see no problem, if someone is genuinely shopping, they'll be willing, even if not happy to do what are the rulings. Some places have refused to handle cash, saying non contact payments only, if they can manage that, they can surely manage facecoverings too. I just don't get the opposition to them. I didn't like it at first, now it's just routine for me. Anything in my view that may save even just one life unnecessarily lost is worth that little inconvenience to me. If someone threw a stink bomb in a shop, people would be looking for anything to cover their noses then, I dare bet. Last edited by joeysteele; 14-07-2020 at 10:35 AM. |

Completely hyporthetically, I think there's probably a good argument for that, as the virus is mainly transmitted through droplets. I'd rather be 1m from someone coughing into a mask than 2m from someone coughing into the air. |

During the traditional Bastille Day interview with the President, Macron announced the masks will be mandatory in shops and closed spaces on August 1st. Excellent news!

I'm just glad covid has agreed to a 10 day moratorium to allow us to just chill for a bit first.
