hope you and family had a decent Xmas and new year, regarding the above staff should not have to police the wearing of masks in a super store, but the security staff they have there should. Its not hard to have a simple sign NO mask No enter, unless you can prove you have a medical problem, and if you do have a medical problem it would be best to avoid the big super stores if you can and shop local if you can. Like Dave says above a visa should not hinder your breathing, so wear a visa mask if possible, we can all adapt if we want to, but you have got to want to. I am a mask wearer through my own free will, these super stores are not really helping as they are not sticking to the rules. I find Morrisons the worse no code what so ever by me, i have yet to see the self service screens be wiped down after someone else as used it before you, even if they are wearing a mask or not. We all have to touch those screens can you imagine how much virus is on those screens, i always wear gloves and remove them as i leave then use hand sanitiser after, keep safe out there guys. PS i would not want to be a bus driver in these very trying times, my hat is off to those drivers, and anyone dealing with joe public on a daily basis.

I was one the folk who said what's all the fuss as thousands die of the flu every year so why kick off about this and it stops all the operations for cancer and other illnesses going ahead etc. I tested positive in November even though I'd been nowhere except work for 6 months and ordered all shopping online so I had no contact with anybody except at work.
I was among 5 people at work who tested positive and we all had no symptoms except losing a sense of smell and taste. The problem being one of my work mates who caught it also passed it on to his wife who has COPD and within 24 hours she was in the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Gateshead on oxygen for 14 days and at one point it was touch and go whether she'd pull through. It hit home how serious this is and how ignorant I was and others are to this. You might be healthy and safe but think of others with underlying health problems who aren't. Take care everyone.

I am not going to make a list of the sectors of “ the British public “ I was eluding to, I will leave that to your imagination. What type of person joins a mob outside a hospital full of sick people chanting it’s all a hoax ! |

Anyway I suspect the real reason is quite simple, it makes a refreshing change from sitting on your backside looking at four walls, watching mindless television while consuming biscuits and sweeties. People are bored and restless, and without structure to your life it is all too tempting to gravitate towards things that may represent any form of normality. Today I'm planning to head out to do a bit of live data comparison with the wife's new car. I shall not bother joining the queues at a drive through though, I couldn't think of anything worse, and interaction with others will be strictly limited. Brian |

I have "chronic asthma" not "severe asthma". Chronic means that you've had it for years, severe means that it is serious enough to limit your lifestyle and perhaps life expectancy. I am "solidly" built and officially don't have to wear a mask. Although I find them uncomfortable and they make me wheeze after a while, I wear one. My asthma is currently controlled but catching Covid would affect me seriously. Those who have met me may be surprised to learn these facts but facts they are. Never judge a book by its cover. Huge thanks to everybody who is serving the public in any way. Stay safe and best wishes for the new year.

It's annoying.
I'm a lifelong asthmatic, I've had heart issues and I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 1993, I've now had covid and it's left me breathless but...I'll still wear a mask or visor to the shops, no-one can object to a visor as it doesn't restrict breathing. If I can wear one for a short visit to a shop, so can others, It seems most of it boils down to attitude and I'm going to develop one of my own towards the selfish idiots.
