--- Quote ---I think most people are aware that face coverings are to protect others, rather than the wearer. --- End quote --- Well, no. The issues arise because they don't realise that. --- Quote ---Medical professionals don't wear surgical masks to protect themselves, but their patients. --- End quote --- Yes, indeed, but my point was that people don't realise that, thus they must be protection for the wearer. |

Opinion polls and questionnaires are better sources of information about what most people think, but are still not perfect. Assuming you're right that most people think masks are mostly to protect the wearer, how is that a bad thing? If it encourages people to wear them and they help stop the spread, it's still a good thing. |

--- Quote ---Assuming you're right that most people think masks are mostly to protect the wearer, how is that a bad thing? --- End quote --- Because then you get people feeling fully justified in saying they're prepared to risk catching whatever because they just don't like masks, can't breathe, makes them look girly, whatever. |

Put simply, if you use public transport, you'll realise just how disgusting your fellow travellers are. Oi mate, do you really need to lower your face mask, lick your sticky fingers and then hold the strap? What, because that's what you always did before you had to wear a facemask? Wearing gloves and using hand sanitiser is recommended at the best of times. Face masks will not only make you a good citizen, but protect you from the morons who still don't or, just cannot be bothered to get it. What is more worrying is that public transport operators are now sanitising their fleets to keep them safe... so what the hell were they doing before coronavirus? I already know the answer :-// |
