how do you feel about masks

[Simon G]

I note 'face coverings' and not 'masks'.

feels like ass covering to me.

I'm still not convinced a soggy bandanna you've been wearing all day isn't going to be doing more harm than good. .... sounds like a breeding ground for a virus to me. Especially if someone with the virus coughs near you, you'll have to run home and put it in the wash won't you and you'd absolutely be better off not wearing it around your gob after that.

Im afraid to ask, but what happened with huawei? Did they find out it was their 5g spreading the virus all along?

Nothing so dramatic.... just Chinese state controlled access to our networks.

There are some pretty ridiculous ideologies out there.

You leave my soggy bandanas out of this ............ I have several!

Personally, I don't give a stuff if I get it, I suspect I've already had it once. All I want to do is try to take precautions not to pass it on if I've not had it, or get it again, and might not be aware of that?

Not sure iso alcohol will help with that, but the medical style 3 ply masks I've been spraying with 100% iso alcohol.I'm not aware of any health issues, dunno if anyone else does this, it means I can reuse the masks a few times, rather than binning them after one use.

I get ya, I just wish the information/evidence was better. So much of it sounds like guess work.

As I've always said I'll continue to do what I think I need to do to keep myself, my family and my friends safe.

I don't know.... I don't know how you would know either way?

could be hay fever, might not be?

... maybe not a single sneeze though, but several over a day?

Several over a day is something worth watching I agree. Problem is that many people who test positive are asymptomatic too, so could be wandering about in blissful ignorance?

There are criteria you can find on the nhs website (in scotland, at least, i’m sure in england too). It’s something like 3 episodes of a new dry cough in a day and a fever. Or if you lose your sense of smell and taste.

yeah, there's a whole list .... most of it would apply if you had 'a bit of a cold'

Yep there are in England too, sense of smell and taste was added more recently. No help if you're asymptmatic and have none of those though?
