WTF Can I Do FFS?

[Mr Ripple]

Because they're ugly?


And there lies the biggest problem. I got to a B&Q yesterday & a fair number were wearing masks. Pulling them up, down & constantly fiddling with them. Not covering the nose. Pulling them away from their face to cough. If they were infected they wont just be spreading through coughing/sneezing but hands touch doors, trolleys, goods on shelves. Complete waste of time wearing one. If you've got a cough stay the fuck indoors.

Masks wont protect the vulnerable if we're talking about stupid people wearing them.
And stupid people obviously won't protect the vulnerable wether they wear a mask or not.
Waiting till you get a cough leaves two weeks you could be transmitting it without knowing you've got it.

That sounds like a comedy sketch if it wasn't so tragic, I'm assuming your contributed idea was "If you've got a cough stay the fuck indoors"? must try harder- I'm going to go with: Public Information Advert showing exactly that scenario. (failing that Electric Shock Gloves)
Brainstorming evolves.

It's a joke. People can't stay indoors or social distance as instructed. What hope "Wear a mask. Here are the instructions on how to use" actually being adhered to. If, like Asian countrys where mask wearing is pretty normal, then yep great idea as education would be minimal. In the west it's seen as an oddity to wear a mask. In town it's mainly the chinese who wear them but as a way to reduce intake of traffic polution.

Not sure where to post this, it's well worth a read.

Scotland publishes framework for leaving lockdown and adjusting to 'new normal'

Scotland must adjust to “new normal” of living with Covid-19, which may include cycling in and out of strict lockdown at short notice, according to a document just published by the Scottish government, which sets out its framework for progressing beyond the current lockdown restrictions.

The 26-page document (pdf) summarises the Scottish government’s approach as follows:

Suppress the virus through compliance with physical distancing and hygiene measures, ensuring that the reproduction number remains below 1 and that the NHS remains within capacity.

Care for those who need it, whether infected by the virus or not.

Support people, business and organisations affected by the crisis.

Recover to a new normal, carefully easing restrictions when safe to do so while maintaining necessary measures and ensuring that transmission remains controlled, supported by developments in medicine and technology.

Protect against this and future pandemics, including through effective testing, contact tracing and isolation.

Renew the country, building a fairer and more sustainable economy and society.

It warns the public to expect a cycle of lifting and re-imposing restrictions, with the possibility of restrictions being re-imposed quickly if transmission suddenly escalates; talks about the urgent need to redesign workplaces and education settings to allow for proper social distancing; the need for “unprecedented levels of support and compliance from the whole population”.

It also concludes that now is not the right time to relax restrictions, but that over the next few weeks, based on the evidence and expert advice, options will be considered that include the easing of restrictions in a phased manner, for example easing restrictions on some outdoor activity before those on indoor activities, as well as tailoring options to specific geographies and sectors, or parts of the rural economy, or those able to work outdoors.

I'll refrain from pointing out the obvious flaw with that statement

I can't help it if I'm gorgeous.

But you're right, it isn't fair to make people jealous and I ought to wear one. But I like to think of myself as inspirational - "if you worked on yourself hard enough, you too could be this wonderful" kinda thing.

Maybe I should have an inspirational male grooming and fashion YouTube channel?

Joke or not "If you've got a cough stay the fuck indoors" should be in the opening sequence of the 6 o'clock news.

Face masks are a long way off being a solution but they do play a part in the attempt to prevent spreading, idiots be idiots but let's not let them get in the way of us doing what we can.

How about this, each reply try to post an idea?

Here's my suggestion, convert part of your garden, patio, balcony into growing some salad stuff, quick growers like rocket, Radish, lettuce, will save buying salad leaves from supermarkets

As far as I can see when lockdown ends face masks will be compulsory in shops and public transport as in other countries and other places will be included as time goes on, if your unsure you should still get one. does it need to be the best - no as its to stop you spreading it, washing is ideal , thats what ive been looking at plus another supply of Sanitiser. Get used to covering up your good looking faces coz it`s coming.
