Theme From Sparta F.C. Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 While watching footage of the Bundesliga, i noticed that a lot of the staff are wearing face masks with their teams club badge / logo on them. Could this be a possible product idea for us? We're all now being asked to wear a mask on public transport, and when we go shopping. When football gets back up and running here, we're probably going to have to wear a mask at Tynie. So why not a Hearts mask? To me it's win / win. We'd be showing our support for our Club, and help to stay safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shanks Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Each to their own I suppose, I just couldn’t see myself ever wearing a surgical mask with a Hearts badge on it. Seems a bit next level jammie wearer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tian447 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Seen quite a few of these on the go, especially on RedBubble. Just search masks, and you can find pretty much anything https://www.redbubble.com/shop/?iaCode=u-mask Could probably get a Hearts one printed if you like! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been using one of the Hearts "snood" things as a mask when I've been going out. Can't find it on the club store, but it looks like this: With Hearts badges on it. Is it effective? Probably not, but it's better than nothing, as it's a good face covering Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hong Kong's incredible success at dealing with the pandemic is put down largely to face masks and hygiene. They've had 4 deaths from a population of 7.4 million and they're more than 25x more densely populated than the uk. Personally I wear a lightweight snood thing over my face for work.

That's an easy threefold answer. Making returnees from overseas self-isolate for 14 days and then tightening that to quarantine in hotels, mass testing, tracing and isolating and social distance compliance. We didn't lockdown to the extent that Europe did but we didn't need to because of that compliance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Testing played a huge role absolutely. That and tracing are the two i'd say were the main components. But they were only testing people with symptoms to begin with and this was long after we had the virus. Daegu was well contained (eventually) because people were taking a physical precaution to stop it spreading. It's aided Asia as a whole significantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
