Are You Having The Booster ?

I'm no expert in the matter, just going on what I've read but I suppose it stops large particles but smaller one's pass through.

some folk double layer them too. a disposable one inside and a cotton one outside.

it’s a good idea, i think. a study just out is saying masks can reduce transmission by 50 odd percent and it’s important to keep doing it. someone posted a link in the other thread. i wonder if our government might change their position soon. still mandatory up here, mind, although i’ve noticed some folk not bothering any more.

I can't see the problem. It's no big deal wearing one in crowded spaces. Utter lunacy !
I even disagree with the exemptions. Some people are conning their doctor's (I know of one person who did) into giving them an exemption note even though there's nothing wrong with them. Anxiety doesn't stop you wearing a mask.

no, i don’t think there can be many conditions that mean you can’t have a bit of thin cotton over your face. it’s not like people are wearing respirator masks.

According to what I've read the covid-19 virus is smaller than the hole's in all "face coverings " . You need a high grade mask ( forget the number) to stop it passing through and I've never seen anyone wearing one of those outside a job/ industry requirement.
It will of course stop any virus which is attached to spittle [emoji16]

You obvs haven't seen me out n about.
