Have already given this thought and I'll be seeking exemption.(tour bus driver fwiw) Doubt there will be any work in the in the near future anyways. Some buses/coaches are going to forced to shut down at least three quarters of their seats just to comply with social distancing measures. Was sure you'd mentioned something about tour/tourists line of work. Seats, they'll just do what they're doing on planes, everybody has to wear a face mask, I'd think.

You can buy fabric ones for a few quid from thousands of places, and being fabric they're washable and reusable. One of my family members is a fashion designer and shes doing a roaring trade in quality cotton ones with filters etc. She does them to order and has did a few maroon ones for me. !

Forcing folk to wear masks when before it was laughed and mocked at. Even at the start of this thread the folk praising this openly mocked ot. Mind when the government told folk they shouldn't be buying or wearing masks and they were ineffective and prevented vital NHS staff from obtaining them? I'll not be wearing a mask. I won't even attempt to get on public transport. **** it. Cant really seem to win with you. You have moaned incessantly about your freedoms taken away during the lockdown etc and now the lockdown is gradually lifting albeit with small concessions ( wearing of mask) your still moaning...

Beni Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 29 minutes ago, Francis Albert said: When did I ever say we shouldn't have locked down? I would have gone for one too, probably a bit earlier. My point and interest in Sweden has always been that it offers a sort of control, however imperfect, in the experiment everyone is conducting on how best to face the challenge of coronavirus. So far the jury for me is out - Sweden may prove to have made a disastrous mistake (though that is certainly not p roven yet) or may in the long run have made the right decision … or more likely perhaps some course betweeen the two might in retrospect have been better. It is I am afraid too early to tell! The idea that the only and over-riding objective is to save lives in the short term without regard to the impact of the cure in the long term seems to me pretty stupid. PS I don't remember redjambo's correcting my "erroneous claims" about the Swedish R number … but don't doubt he did. If you read my post again you'll see I didn't claim you've said anything about lockdown. I'm glad we can agree that the best course of action for the UK was an early lockdown. Saving lives in the short term isn't the only objective, but it seems like a pretty good objective to have. PS let me refresh your memory about the "erroneous claims" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As all you're doing is potentially smearing it across the stuff you buy. Just need to wash hands regularly.

I get home take the gloves off and carefully take the mask off from behind the ears... then i fill my sink with washing up liquid and some bleach then wipe down most of the food packages which are plastic plus tins bottles etc. Leave them to dry then put them away.

I'd like to think so, it's also good there's now disinfectant etc at the supermarket, the first few times I went to Sainsbury's they had nowt which made me nervous.

I had bought similar to these but they appeared to be made of polyester and lycra stretchy material which I then read wasnt suitable ...I should have done my research before buying them but it was only £15 for 5 of them and they may do in the winter as snoods / scarf types to keep warm.
