That's the one.

In column 10/4, 606 on 14 April is shaded grey but 624 on 15 April is shaded white. Why?

A dr on question time saying no to face masks as you think you are safe and forget the rest of the restrictions,you touch your face putting them on and off,there be a small benefit that you might not spread to someone else but not much help to protect yourself,WHO say no still

Tory mp says they don't have clear evidence for the public to use them

Talking out of their arses.
As usual, the Germans have it right. They should be mandatory on Public Transport

Fergal Keane's report on BBC news tonight is moving and profound - given the fella took a step back last year due to PTSD concerns is remarkable.

On this we disagree

New York also making them mandatory on their transport.

You can put a face mask on without touching your face.
I can't think of a reason not to wear one, but I can think of a lot of reasons why people should, if they can.
Not a dig at you kaz x

What will drag the UK out of its herd immunity inspired lethargy is that economic rivals are coming out of lockdown. That will get a mass-testing strategy up and running soon enough.

Working well in Spain that policy isn’t it?

Frontline staff put them on and particularly off very carefully and they don't keep ajusting them,you have to use them wisely and carefully and maintain social distancing and hand washing or there is no point

This is quite an extraordinary thing to say.
I'd take any small benefit right now.

So why are the travelling community still allowed to move around in a lock down ?

They come here every summer

You'd almost think they don't think the rules apply to them...

Yes I realise they don't make you immune. But my point still stands, give me a reason not to wear one?

Like SARS, Coronavirus is airborne as well as on surfaces.
Masks give you 70% protection if you take them off properly and dispose/wash them properly. But that's not the point.
If you're on public transport they stop you passing it on to every one else in the bus/carriage if you talk or cough. You simply can't be 2m apart in these circumstances.
The same probably applies when you go shopping.

You have to weigh up risk v reward for all things medical,also the cloth ones the public can get are not medical grade,they do not give you the protection the frontline health workers where,it is a false sense of security

I know all that, not sure it answers my question

There you have the crucial words,taking them off properly,dispose/wash them properly,the public won't do it

This is gobsmacking. Unreal stupidity and the police aren't even arsed.

Ok, given that I'm not daft, and I won't have a false sense of security, do you think wearing a mask is a good thing or a bad thing?

Ive had one on when out in work this week and youre right, you cant help but fiddle with them and bend then round the hooter or adjust them round the mouth far more than you consciously think you are, probably because you aren't used to wearing them and because after a while they are very irritating on the chops.
