I'm pretty sure it's in place now.

Took dog down beach yesterday lots of cars and people around probably a lot more than a normal winter's day - the problem is nice day everyone is out
I always wear a mask , BUT in reality its equivalent to trying to stop a mosquito by putting up a chain link fence , viruses are very VERY small .
I'm sure the argument is possibly true, but can you tell me why medical staff bother wearing PPE in that case?
After all, they've been doing it since long before this virus appeared, so there must be a good reason, apart from making money for PPE manufacturers?

Pretty much the long and short of it.
Happy to wear a mask, doesn't bother me at all, I now have more masks than underwear. Other than make my day easier I'm under no illusion they are of much use. I'll have the little bit they may offer though, beyond that I couldn't care less if others wear one.

Me too Mark, I've got 3 masks now!
You have to handle the mask and bugs live in your old breath that you leave in it from the last shop, and its in and out of dirty pockets, i have had two lip infections and a nose /ear infection since wearing them, dont bother now.Depends on the mask...
Explain the cold sores nose/ear infections scenario please?
They are medical masks and not cloth rags sold in shops, even medical ones dont last more than 20 mins before they start to be ineffective.Not really correct as it will be attached in the main to moisture or mucus droplets which are much larger than the virus itself. The material also inhibits the projectile force and therefore distance of exhaled breath. The effectiveness of various mask materials does vary a lot though. Even the best masks the public wears are not anything like 100% effective but go a long way to inhibit spread. Occupational mask wearing for long durations I suppose could lead to some minor problems, but for the average member of the public it is no more than a minor inconvenience.
In such a serious situation as we find ourselves in I think it is irresponsible to post such dangerous and inaccurate info. as "Masks don't stop the virus." They do.
Think of the poor buggers in the NHS working in PPE all day for long shifts.

And you smoke.Me too Mark, I've got 3 masks now!
What cut up my undies.Get some nice silk ones, very comfy.
We have had a text message from our GP practice to say that NHS England now say all non-essential work is now stopped until further notice.
It stops them giving anything to the patient. And better masks IIRC
I saw a demo and they only kept the spread back about 1 foot, the spray pattern went more up than out forward, but it was and did escape, so in fact it still spreads.There you go then. Masks must be of some help, even if not perfect.
