Seen an arl fella yesterday had cut a hole in his mask so he could still smoke while wearing it

It`s like the one`s who stand outside the hospital entrance, with their oxygen mask around their neck and oxygen bottle on a stand, whilst they have a ciggy.

Nice article that - one thing I’d add however from personal experience is that when you’ve gone through this disease the one thing that you really start to notice is when your breathing is even slightly affected. Masks do that (obviously).

I’ve only done a few tube and Overground trips since it became mandatory to wear a mask and found it really uncomfortable; and that’s in the relatively mild weather not a heatwave like we are apparently going to have this week.

My missus, who is a tissue viability nurse, is treating more and more hospital staff, with sores around their face from wearing masks for a long time.

These are quality masks and have been fitted properly too

there was me thinking a tissue viability nurse would only ever advise blokes to just use an old sock instead

The missus amuses herself when we're out and about pointing out the number of people who are wearing them wrong. You'd think it would be quite straightforward, but all manner have them on inside out, upside down, only covering the mouth (sometimes just on the chin for some reason), and so on.

I do the same with gardens flying the Union Flag......

The best one I've seen was a fella who had put a cigarette sized hole in his mask so he could have a bifter.

I just could see the reasoning behind it,remove the mask or wait until your home

Some people deffo need to be educated on how to wear PPE. I was waiting in the queue for Halfords. A woman there has her mask on and a pair of gloves, next thing she grabs a sweet out of her pocket, unwraps it and then shoves it in her mouth. Felt like saying to her that her gloves could have been contaminated and she's just unwrapped and handled a sweet before lashing it in her mouth.

I know its a weekend figure, but we got this thing beat now - at least in the UK.
The big question as far as the virus is concerned is if there will be another wave, and if it'll have an annual pattern. But the way its looking right now, I think there's every cause for optimism. Business is bouncing back. Things are looking up.

The only thing to fear is fear itself.....something that will be with us for a little while longer yet.....

So we are at zero deaths and infections then?

Classic straw man.

Nowhere did I argue they were complacent.

Not being concerned =/= a synonym for being complacent.

You implied the 2.8 R was a sign of a forthcoming second wave in the UK, there is no scientific basis for your comments. As usual.

You are misrepresenting the views of other posters and external information. Again.

You omitted a whole chunk of that organisations statement and made it look like they were sanguine over Germany's recent R-number leap when they a tually qualified their view by stating that developments in the whole of Germany are under serious scrutiny.

That is completely out of order.

Gutersloh is blowing up by the look of it.

What do you mean mate?
