      Surprised the requirement was ever lifted to be honest. It should be culturally embedded that you wear a mask if you’re going to a place with a lot of immunocompromised people.

      Entirely reasonable, I’m sure it will be met with reasonable takes.

      Masks are a simple and effective way of combatting respiratory infections, so long as you wear them properly. It makes sense to make them a requirement in a hospital where there are lots of immunocompromised people. It’s a shame they became a silly culture war thing.

      This is actually a pretty good way of alleviating the pressure of visitors and patients bringing in coughs and colds to already compromised patients, and staff who are hit with waves of it every day.

      If this was the norm in hospitals, I’d be supportive. And I say this as someone whose face breaks out in horrific reactive acne every time one of those horrific masks touches my face.

      It’s for the benefit of everyone.

      It’s the 21st Century, but people will argue against taking simple steps to curb the spread of viruses in places full of viruses.

      Cor blimey, everything old is new again.
      May as well just copy/paste comments from an old 2020 post.

      However, this time round, can we please acknowledge that not all masks are equivalent.
      Proper masks, properly fitted. Brilliant.

      However, acknowledging that some bollocks xmas-cracker mask does fuck all should not be controversial.

      Should be mandatory everywhere. The amount of people I saw today coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths was ridiculous. It’s lucky I wore a waterproof jacket.

      I remember being at my GPs once about a year ago and this woman walks in with her two kids.

      All three were sneezing and coughing up the freaking yazoo and at no time did she use any sort of mouth covering for herself or her kids.

      Fortunately within a couple of minutes I got to go in to see the Doctor and left by a different exit.

      Good idea if there’s a lot of infectious illness around, it’s not really a hardship to stick a mask on and save spreading your germs about.

      The thing is we all moan about going to the GP with an issue and sitting in the waiting room with folks coughing etc. wear a mask ffs

      I somewhat doubt that cultural issues like wearing masks to prevent others from getting what you have will ever take on in this part of the world…

      Masks used by lay people without proper training will do nothing for viral spread. We have the data on this. To stop viral spread using face coverings everyone will have to wear military grade respirators and take a weeks training course on CRBN decontamination drills. People who are ill especially those with respiratory issues should not be wearing masks as it will have a detrimental affect on their health. Not everyone in hospital are carrying viral infections anyway.

      Also clean masks! I see people in supermarkets with filthy masks often wet which are no protection to them or others. An educational point here. Wear it properly , change it often and always if wet

    14. zonked282 on

      I had hoped the first wave would have normalised wearing masks when unwell or visiting those more vulnerable

    15. Agreeable_Falcon1044 on

      Genuinely should be the requirement full time. You have a congested building full of people with all sorts of bugs, some super vulnerable and you are allowed to jump off a bus, tube etc and walk straight in?

    16. Nicki3000 on

      Ridiculous. Being forced to cover my mouth in a place occupied by the clinically vulnerable? Muzzled just like my darling XL Bully, Stella ? No thanks. Just like him, the contagious viruses and bacteria I carry wouldn’t hurt a fly.

    17. Rough-Chemist-4743 on

      I wish GP surgeries would adopt this even if just in reception and waiting rooms.

      LOL brought to you by the same NHS that offers acupuncture and non epileptic seizures
