Own up how many people have gone into a shop without a mask

[zouzounaki]

totally understand that but when you pick up 9+ loaves of bread an put them back thats a different story

aye that’s a good point, my obsessive picking up and putting back is strictly in the fruit and veg aisle.

Surgical masks are useless in preventing something as tiny as a virus, it's like building a chain wire fence to keep out the flies. These masks are designed for one thing, to prevent drops of spit and/or nasal mucus from dropping into an open wound of a patient on whom we are operating. That's it that's all they do. That said there's a down side; wearing a surgical mask all day causes hypoxia i.e.. lowers the amount of oxygen you inhale. Also when we exhale we breath out carbon dioxide and because it's restricted by a mask some is inhaled. This causes stress and a bunch of other things that I haven't the time or the space to discuss.
Doctors all over the world are coming forward about this and a myriad of other problems created by reactions to covid-19 but the media won't discuss it. The media seems to feel that propaganda and demonisation of those who try to speak out about this whole mess.
How did I get here , all I wanted was some info on Vaping and someone brought the coronavirus into it. You had to ask and
" Well , here's another nice mess you've gotten me into "

I was going to pick out your post bit by bit but just replying is going to be easier.
You say you've not got the time or space to go into detail and in the same post that the press doesn't want to discuss.
Maybe the media or certainly social media would be the best platform to get information out there if the mainstream media aren't on board and to say you've not got time is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black?

You also say masks are only good for catching droplets of spit and nasal mucus from dropping into open wounds while operating but preventing spit and nasal mucus from being ejected from jo public while we're in close proximity with one another is surely the whole point of them?

So I haven't forgotten my mask again yet when going to the shop. I went in this morning and everyone was wearing one except one guy. I found the smug look on his face hilarious you can just see he is thinking 'HA look at all these sheep wearing their masks while i've seen through all the science behind them by reading on the internets and stuffing crisps into my gob' So funny.

I'm not convinced on the benefit of masks myself to be honest but claiming your human rights are being violated or your going to get hypoxia from wearing a mask for 10 mins while you pop in the co-op is pretty retarded.

Cant disagree, I was in a local shop yesterday, 6 people in there, two wearing masks, the shopkeeper and I.

If I owned a shop I wouldn't let anyone in who wasn't wearing one. Not because I think they're doing any good but because it's the law and there should be No exceptions otherwise what's the point in anyone wearing them.
