As I'm unable to mention brands, I purchased a beautiful clear anti fog one that you put on like spectacles. Everyone can still see you and it eliminates the claustrophobia many of us have with masks.

It's well made and comes in draw string pouch. 100% recommend this. They come in UV protection and lush colours.

I'm in no way involved in the company, just a satisfied customer. I will continue to use it until life improves.

I think that it will get awkward.

Some shops/business will require it and some won't. Some individuals will be arsey with people who don't.

What if the government says you don't have to wear one at work but your employer says you do? Will you still wear one when not at work?

Nope.

Only wear it where legally mandated now and will cease completely when that's not required.

I'll likely continue wearing one on commuter trains and London buses. Especially if I feel under the weather myself.

What I hope this has reminded people is that the old 1950s saying "coughs and sneezes spread diseases" is just as true today.

The virus is aerosol. The masks don't stop aerosols. We breathe over a billion aerosol sized particles with every breath.(that's why glasses steam up)

You can watch an MD put on 5 surgical masks. (15 layers).

He seals the mask tight round his mouth with his fingers. Breathes onto a pair of glasses. They steam up. Masks only prevent viral particles trapped in droplets from shouting coughing or sneezing. As soon as the moisture drys out. Guess what happens to the particles.

You either re-beathe them or the escape the fabric.

I think it will depend on the situation.

I wouldn't wear them unless it's necessary. Their main purpose is to protect others if you are infected.

I'd assume anyone symptomatic would have the sense to isolate and not go out, mask or no mask. Asymptomatic individuals can still transmit the virus, obviously, but the majority of people are vaccinated and have protection.

I will carry on wearing mine. I havnt put a full face of make-up on now since masks were first introduced! I've saved a fortune on lipstick, lip gloss, blusher ect. I've also lost weight from the amount of times food has ended up on the floor as a result of forgetting I'm wearing a face mask when trying to put shove it in my mouth.

It would be fantastic going forwards if people had the common sense to wear them if they have any coughs or colds like they do in Asia - but as we know the UK is unfortunately lacking when it comes to consideration for others and personal responsibility.

couple, us we him her.

My stance on restrictions have been posted in here many times for those who still don't know I'm all for restrictions, vaccine and if needed lockdowns.

However this past few weeks I have really been struggling with wearing a mask maybe it's due to hayfever,my asthma or it being warmer but I am finding it increasingly difficult to wear for any extended duration.

I have a physical job and struggling with breathing.

I've taken a proactive approach and take it off when no one is around.

Some of the places I work in its compulsory to wear them as soon as you get onsite even outside!!!

I struggle too. I've had a more relaxed stance since my second jab, but that means "what's required" rather than more.

So please do tell me how come ffp2 masks that have passed stringent safety tasting have the ability to stop 95% of vapours (finer than most aerosols at 0.03 microns) and ffp3 masks stop 97% of those same vapours. These masks are available from hardware stores and are used in multiple industries for health and safety purposes for protection . Also I would love to see vapours pass through the 5 surgical masks as you claim as that many layers of filter material would likely be thicker than the material of an ffp2 rated half mask.

Private businesses have that option here. They can request and deny you service. But no one is. WalMart Target all big box stores do not have a mask requirement here.

This was way before our state mask mandate dropped off. Once CDC recommended no masks in May people followed suit no matter what the governor recommend.

Apparently people don't think about the fact that masks are used for other things prior to the pandemic, it is strange. Even stranger are the ones that like to try and prove they don't do anything with videos of so called professionals "proving" they are useless

What if the government says you don't have to wear one at work but your employer says you do? Will you still wear one when not at work?"

I believe that your employer can legally define their own requirements for PPE even without a pandemic. They would be entitled to sack you for not complying.

We have a face fit for ffp3 mask's and if you fail due to facial hair you have to shave.

It's simple the mask is a first line of defence it's not 100% fullproof against the virus but more than happy to Have been told to wear one during this crisis, people who have refused to wear one from the start ,I really cannot understand the logic is it just the "being told what to do" you don't like or is it a vanity thing?

The ones that make me laugh are the ones that say ffp2 and 3 don't stop the virus at all even though they are good enough to stop chemical vapours, ok with a disposable half mask my face fuzz would probably be an issue but like you say it's a first line of defence not the only defence. I think it's like you say they don't like being told that they need to do it where as if they worked in an industry that required it they wouldn't question it

I can't wait to get rid of them. I honestly believe they havnt actually been much use at all. Why did we go 4 months, at the beginning of this pandemic without having to wear masks, covid figures have seemed to be much higher since we started wearing them. There are also lots of people who don't wear them correctly anyway plus you see discarded masks littered all over the place.

You are correct. It's utterly ridiculous.

I will be wearing one when ever I am asked too, for instance in a shop.

It’s not particularly onerous and if it helps to make other people feel safer. I don’t have a problem with it.

I dont understand because my health is important to me but actually a mask is only useful if everyone around you is wearing one. If you were the only one wearing it then you are protecting others they are not protecting you.

Actually a lot of the time, mask wearing was related to avoiding pollution rather than anything to do with disease control. Our students have worn masks for years, but only out in the street. They removed them indoors (away from the buses, cars etc).

Well my NBC experience kind of negates what is proper in civilian life. (Nuclear biological and Chemical ) . So to think a mask protects is kind of redundant don't ya think ? If it was bad as everyone says it is we be all in mopp4. Unless you can correct me on my assumption.

MOPP4 gear is worn to avoid contamination with radiative particles, toxins, nerve agents, gases and a fuck-ton of other things that are way smaller (in terms of particle size) than a virus. If the US army was ONLY trying to avoid viruses and bacteria, they wouldn't need to employ equipment that covers every square centimetre (or inch) of skin and changes colour if certain substances have been in contact

It's like suggesting someone decapitates themselves to stop their headache.

Why the hostilities. In order to protect from a biological agent.

Mopp4 is the choice. Not a flimsy mask. Unless military research and development is wrong. We train for that scenario. I would gladly not put on all that protection just to wear a flimsy mask. So I guess that science is incorrect in protecting. Give me a mask.

You are trying to tell me that I'm wrong about the choices that I make about my face based on your experience, which a) has nothing to do with my life in peacetime civilian UK, and b) is based on threats very different to just a virus. You tell me to "wake up", as though I'm too stupid to see something obvious, which is rather insulting.

I am desperately uninterested in the military, it plays no part in my decision making, and I was not speaking to you or about the military. I was talking to someone else about my adherence to correct practice and the choice that I have made.

My face is my business. If masks become a matter of "personal responsibility", then I will wear them. That is my choice.

See choices ahh such the quagmire we evolved into. Antivaxxers wrong yet you do not want to wear a mopp4 suit to protect against the the very same virus you fear. Kind of ridiculous statement. If you want full on protection wear that shit for a day see how you feel. It's the only way to protect yourself.unless science is wrong feel free to live. Trust science yet military says otherwise. I guess DARPA scientific evidence is not good enough in your eyes. So keep believing science stats otherwise.

The virologists I follow wear cloth masks. I trust virologists talking about viruses over a foreign military talking about numerous biological agents. Funny that. A virus is not "all biological agents".

Masks are risk mitigation, not risk prevention. There is nuance. I understand this. I take it into account.

Sorry but I think you are being deliberately antagonistic at the moment, the fact that the military have a protocol for certain operational situations has no bearing on the use of face coverings (which whether you like it or not have been proven to help slow the spread of this virus) in a civilian situation, also it has no bearing on an individuals choice to use the said face covering. We are not involved in a military operation where we may be exposed to any number of unknown nuclear, biological or chemical agents we are in the midst of a world wide pandemic caused by a single virual agent the transmisson of which multiple scientific studies have shown can be slowed by the use of a simple face covering due to its known transmission method (water droplets from coughing and sneezing) which does not require such drastic measures as a biological attack with an unknown agent.

Why the hostilities. In order to protect from a biological agent.

I think that if the dangers of a trip to the shops involved being exposed to a fuck ton of bacteriological, viral, chemical and radiological agents that somebody was actively trying to kill me with, then yeah I'd definitely go for the mopp4. In fact I'd be asking if there was a mopp5, 6 or 7 version available.

On the other hand, when what I'm basically worried about is trying to cut down the effective range of my occasional cough or sneeze from 6 feet to 2 feet so as to reduce the chances of snotting my germs onto other people, and this can adequately be done with a 3 layer piece of cloth over my face - in similar way that surgeons have been doing for fifty years - then it'll do for me. Would it protect me in the event of being surrounded by a crowd of Ebola zombies, splattering me with blood and other bodily fluids? Probably not. Will it do at least a little bit of good in the freezer aisle at the supermarket? Maybe.

It's cheap, it's easy, it's no real inconvenience to me, it just might protect other people and myself a bit. Kind of a no-brainer really. I suppose it's just polite these days, kinda like not spitting in the street or farting in a crowded elevator.

Your military does the same NBC research. Otherwise they will be behind the game. Not insulting but to think that a single mask after all their research. Some of the best on the planet to negate a single paper mask to protect against a biological agent is in fact a appeasement to the populace.

Not being a twat the greatest minds protect military ambitions. To fail in that environment is failure to all. Am I wrong unless some civilian can speak up on that subject matter well. Like I said go full on NBC deterrent. Everyone cries statistics and who is vaccinated and who is not. So to truly protect against this horrible virus. Put mopp4 on or quit crying. It's a scientific fact. Let others live their lives if you are to scared to live yours .
