Wear A Mask Everywhere

Coronavirus UK:BMA say masks should be worn outside and in work places | Metro News

Top doctors have slammed the Government’s ‘inconsistent’ coronavirus restrictions and urged them to make masks mandatory outside and in all work places.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said the inconsistency of the Government’s messaging after the first lockdown was lifted played a part in the resurgence of the virus.

They have published a set of recommendations they think will have a ‘positive effect’ if ‘introduced quickly’.

The BMA say people should have to wear facemasks in all outdoor settings where they cannot stay two metres away from each other and in all office and working environments.

I've followed every single restriction/rule so far. Even if I disagreed with them.

I will not under any circumstances wear a mask outside. It's going too far and there is no scientific basis for this recommendation.

Very helpful, cheers.

If someone isn't wearing a mask in a forest, and there's no one there to witness it, is that person wearing a mask?

Mask? They mean face covering?

Been using a motorbike neck buff where necessary. Easy to pull down and back up instead of faffing with ear loops. Also looks a bit more casual and now it's getting colder doubles as a neck warmer when outdoors, which was the original use on the motorbike.

So if they bring in a new rule to wear a 'mask' outdoors I'll just pull it up whenever I see any wombles (aka covid marshalls) or fuzz and have it down around my neck the rest of the time. How do you like them apples?

Only if you can hear the sound of one hand clapping.

What's the other hand doing exactly?

I understood it to mean wearing masks outside if you're not maintaining social distance.
