And then there is the lady shopper with the toddler who seems to not notice her child feeling all the produce bags within reach whist in the checkout queue- she ( the mother) was wearing a mask. When it was braught to her attention she simpered and told the child not to do it and the child went to the otherside of the display looked at her mother with a "who are you looking at" expression and started fondling the other goods.

All the news about a second spike seems to be falling on deaf ears, in the supermarket this afternoon and at least 25% not wearing masks. I don’t believe that 25% of the population can be exempt from wearing face coverings.
One thing that I did notice was that virtually all of the barefaced anti-social people appeared to be under the age of 40! They must still think there invincible! |

I think that if a mask makes you feel safe, then wear one. Obviously, you have to use them properly, as a surgeon would, so single-use, tight to the face, wash hands before, and if you touch or move it, then it must be binned immediately.
Not sure that attaching a germ-ridden cloth to your face and hiding your facial expressions could be considered 'social'. I don't like the compulsion, and there is no clear evidence for the current situation. The second wave talk looks like a sleight of hand. We used to talk about deaths, and now we talk about 'cases' (which only means a positive PCR test result, not a poorly person). What happened to not overwhelming the NHS? It wasn't. Just another viewpoint for the melting pot. |

Masks are virtually useless. It is just useless governments trying to look as if they are doing something. The best they can do is just stay back and let people look after themselves.

When that group eventually left and my turn was next, with only four in the shop, I attempted (out of curiosity) the same trick of just walking in, but with a mask. Staff quickly pointed out to me that there were four already in the shop. When one came out, my turn I went in, but to have a word with staff about allowing so many of them in and without masks - the reply from the shop manager 'we cannot stop them coming in, we can only ask them to wear masks, not insist'. As I see it, that is wrong. You can refuse anyone entry to a shop premises and don't need to give a reason. I tried to complain to BHF's head office, but no one answering the phone and their web email form did not allow enough characters to explain my complaint. I agree it is mostly the under 40's ignoring the rules and to blame for the renewed spread.

Alot of independent shops have signs saying no mask no service. I agree with that. But then you would just get the chin mask wearers arguing thst they were wearing one., yes but not correctly

It doesn’t end there, there is so much going on behind the scenes it’s a pantomime. Alongside the masks and so relevant is the Two Meter rule, so ridiculed by insiders. It seems the official guidance at the outset was initially that one meter would be enough.
Professor Robert Dingwall says in a little-published interview, he was informed by a senior public health specialist that the department of health knew it was one metre but did not think the population would understand what a meter was and they could not trust the public to observe it so they doubled it to stay on the safe side. As each day passes so too does another shred of credibility.

People have largely lost that ability to think. That is why we are in this blinking mess!
If you don't like the way people wear or don't wear their masks, go and shop somewhere where you are happy. It is as easy as that!

That would make shopping difficult to impossible for many, including me/us, with so few shops ejecting those not following the rules.
