Sports equipment store decides it's an essential service...

Yeah, this is what I was trying to say basically.

there is no real leadership.

when Johnson says you can go to work and cunts make their employees go to work and couple that with less
public transport.....then you will get millions of people unnecessarily exposed.

through no real fault of their own bar wanting a wage.

he should have done this last Friday.

my guess is he will do this on Wednesday but really he wants to hold on till Friday.

I’m sure these 4 days mean hundreds of millions of pounds but what does a UK life cost to the UK prime minister?

he need to properly lock down or just say it’s not worth the cost.

this half and half Stage is pointless.

I've seen more and more facemasks being worn out in public. Of course this has been normal in Asian cultures. There's more social pressure to wear them with the explanation that is simply works. That this will stop asymptomatic spreading, etc. Why is there still noise -specifically here in the US- that them facemasks don't work? Especially having seen this in Asian countries as the norm? Anyone?

But why do specifically Americans claim they don't work? Serious question. Do or don't they work? And no, I don't care what the CDC says, cause they have claimed both. Could it be just to discourage people from buying them so they can hide the fact they weren't prepared?

I’m sure @Splinty can give a better answer.

but basically. Say you wear a mask, you're walking down the street. You smell traffic fumes through said mask.

well sheeit. That virus is smaller than those smells.

what it can do if you are infected is to stop the virus from being a miasma from your face.

It only really works if you’re infected

they dont work in the way that people think they do. a n95 mask is for dust and particulate. germs go right thru them. if you want to keep out germs it takes a respirator with properly rated charcoal filters. the way n95 and surgical masks work is they keep the wearer from coughing everywhere .it basically stops you from coughing and sneezing and spraying spit and grossness into the air.
