The NSW government and the Federal government fail to accept responsibility and accountability for this utter debacle, preferring to point the finger at each other. No leadership at all. They must fear what is going to happen to them because of this.

Reminds me of the NSW government and the dangerous iPad chargers being sold. An innocent young woman was electrocuted and they lied to the public to protect their own own arses.

So we know about these major stuff ups but I'm sure there a many we don't hear about.

Missus was listening to a worker at kmart. She was saying a 90 year old from an nearby retirement village visited the store on a bus every day. When asked why she hadn't contacted the village or informed the gentleman of the dangers he posed to his village, she responded that she had to follow protocol and inform her supervisor, which she hadn't done ::)
My father in-law's village is in total lock down, or so we are led to beleive

Wear 'em if you got 'em. Can't hurt.

But if you're really smart you'll grab one of them big 5 gallon water bottles and wrap it around your head instead.  :-+

Imagine that $$ court trials in US when someone gets asphyxiated while wearing a mask made of a CocaCola bottle.. :)

I honestly have to say how impressed I am at so many of the contributors here. I mean, it was all I could handle in college to get just an Engineering degree. I was totally tapped out. I can't even imagine how some of you managed to get TWO degrees, Engineering PLUS Medicine or Virology Research or whatever the hell it's called.

Wow. Just wow.

I would like to think this case would be different but in the past I have been a good example of a bad PPE user.

When I started wearing a helmet for snowboarding, I started crashing more because I felt safer and did stupider things.

I've barely seen anyone wearing masks where I'm at.  Haven't really gone out much though.  When I wear masks it's for home renos and I touch my face a fair bit because the mask is annoying.

I hope when masks are encouraged, the encouragement comes with instructions for proper use.
