I don’t dispute that.
However, the effectiveness of a face mask is not clinically proven as a measure against the spread of virus.
If it slows it, great. Use a mask.
But you can’t expect the government to endorse something that has the potential not to work.
That is the only reason they are not pushing it and clearly why they didn’t order/make any.
Just washing your hands alone doesn't stop the spread of the virus but that is endorsed.
Washing hands, wearing gloves and wearing a face mask will help protect you alot more and it should be standard advice from the government.
Im not going to start an argument with you about hand washing vs a face mask and the effectiveness they have. That is just silly.
There is, very very clearly, 1 winner in that debate.
Well there are lots of things that are not clinically proven including 2 meters as a distance. They are being used because on the balance of probabilities they will reduce transmission. That is probably true of face masks as well and seems sensible as a public health measure.I don’t dispute that.

German police officers WITHOUT masks attack man for not wearing mask in supermarket
LOL whatever fella die on that hill if you want.
Hand washing, the world over, is accepted as the most effective measure in stopping the spread of disease.
A face mask is not.
I’m not going to get involved in the pedantic nature of you’re argument because it is childish.
It is indeed very sad.The Prime Minister said there have now been 144 NHS workers and 131 social care workers whose deaths involved Covid-19.

This is shocking and makes me very sad
There are also 52 transport workers in London alone
People doing their jobs ,i went out to the local shop today and said to him thank you for working,i said it to the two chemists i use as well and to all the home shopping delivery guys,all of them look taken aback and said thank you that really is appreciated,whilst we were in lockdown those working kept people like me going
I might be a soppy cow but I like to make people feel appreciated for going above and beyond
Or is it because they got caught with their pants down like the rest of the ppe and like most government departments are fucking useless.I don’t dispute that.

That is so lame,the masks and respiratory masks they use in hospitals and the face coverings the public use are like night and day,one will save your life the others won'tJust on my way to MRI to tell them they only need to wash their hands as Proy says face masks are a waste of time.
Did you know Stockholm is as densly populated as Manchester, but Manchester is only the 27th most densly populated authority in the UK.Let's not forget Stockholm which is more overpopulated

the most effective thing to do is washing hands and keeping your distance

Sweden with big jump in deaths.
Not a conspiracy theory just an observation but I'm sure tests into facemask use would have been carried out before this pandemic and instead of saying they were waiting for evidence, they should have known either wayThat is a political conspiracy and not one I believe.
I do love a good conspiracy, but on this occasion my opinion is that the choice was made not to use them because they didn’t believe in the effectiveness.
Still going with the personal jabs then,thought a pandemic might have taught you somethingKaren you live your life on here don't start telling people what is lame.
