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...

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

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.

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

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

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.
