Mask or no mask when restrictions are lifted? Poll added

[bluealf]

I hate to break this to you but pubs have been back open for months mate

Did I say different?

Maybe if you used your brain you could put two and two together and make four.

Of course, if you had one of those you would have noticed the same poster saying in this thread that he delivers to restaurants and other food establishments.

Never mind you got a like from the clown.

Yes, when moving around the venue.

What's the point though if there are no restrictions in the venue? Unless you are still restricted in the venue and have to sit at your own table, it wouldn't make any sense. I'll just put my mask on to enter the venue, then remove it as I stand next to people at the bar, but must put it on again to walk to the toilet.

i deliver to a house and a young lad answers the door with a mask and gloves every time. another fella carries round his own disinfectant and cloth and wipes every surface in the shop before going near it. at what point do these people stop.

when they feel safe to do so
how do their actions affect you?

The current restrictions should remain in my opinion. Table service has been great anyway.

Do they only do it when your there ? Probably think you’re riddled.

You seem like one of those "truth seekers"

Maybe i am, i do not know, so how does medical advice saying you should open your windows in the middle of winter to let covid OUT sit with you?

Baffled why it's not such a big thing in the UK to start with. Table service not only keeps big crowds congregating at the bar and invariably pissing people off when the person next to them gets served before them but it's much better for business.
In general a table won't get up to go to the bar until the last minute and when there's football on many will nurse their drink until half time.
My staff are trained to get an order as soon as they see somebody's glass get to around a quarter full. You tend to find even those who were umming and arring over getting another drink say yes as an automatic response when a server asks them if they want more.

Is there actually any real evidence masks prevent the spread of COVID?

I've seen articles about how the particles (not sure if that's the right term) are so small they easily get through a standard mask. There are other people saying they stop you spreading it, but not catching it etc.

Also, in the places where I'd be likely to wear a mask (public transport, football, shopping), is there actual evidence that COVID is spreading in these environments? It's likely spread in households and closed spaces - so is there a need to wear one stood on the South Stand for example?

I'm not against wearing a mask. I don't like the environmental impact of wearing something once then chucking it though. If the science is clear and obvious that it stops the spread then I'll wear one - but I'm not convinced it does. It's probably good for other things (maybe it stops other colds of bugs going round?) But do we have actual evidence to prove this?

I do think there is strong evidence that with any airborne disease, good ventilation should be a requirement.
