Almost full lockdown coming for a while...

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.

So I go back to the question I keep asking - why do medical staff bother wearing masks?!

The medical quality with carbon inserts, one you can buy are junk, you can get ppg masks but they are expensive and you would be out a fortune every week.
A scarf of one of them pull down wraps would be just as good.

Most around here are obeying the rules, we can shop without anyone intruding on our space, at last seeing someone without a mask is rare but you still see the odd young people without obvious reasons, one of our neighbours works at the airport and he is exempt from wearing a mask but the bus drivers still refuse him as a passenger so he walks to work, they have CCTV cameras on board so they are not afraid to refuse you but I don't understand why if they cannot wear a mask they don't wear a visor, more guidance/rules needed from the government in my opinion

i really dont understand why anyone should be exempt from wearing a mask on public transport........i know some folk have breathing problems ..however ..if they are well enough to travel by bus and in the above case do a days work......i see not reason why they should not wear one for the short journey by public transport...or as you say..at the very least a shield.......not only to protect others but also themselves......

That's the real bugger on top of the virus, Ian.

They're still doing cancer treatments here. I'm due in for my six-monthly, half hour zoledronic acid infusion on 7th January.

Phoned the ward to double check yesterday and they're working as normal - except now down to a mere third of the capacity they had before the virus arrived due to the new C-19 precautions. Unfortunately it's impossible to push out the existing hospital walls to make more room to fit everyone in :confused: 😢

The vaccine program needs to get up to warp speed to prevent further damage, imho.

zoledronic acid sound like something out of doctor who. Never mind you will be in and out quick :)
 
I visited the toilets in Sainsbury’s yesterday. As I stood at the urinals, a man washed his hands and then proceeded to dry them using the fast air hand drier. He stood looking down at his hands without a mask (exempt? I know not). God knows what that does in an enclosed poorly ventilated space. He certainly did not get my sympathy. I cursed him liberally under my breath.
I look at anyone without a mask with suspicion and some contempt. I wear a mask in full knowledge of their limited efficiency. I regard it as a sign of solidarity with my fellow citizens. That being the case I cannot understand why those who are genuinely exempt do not at least wear a plastic face shield as a token of solidarity and to reduce or remove the resentment that many of use feel towards non mask wearers.
