Facemask - Post 19th July Poll

I've answered yes, but I expect to choose to only on public transport.

 

waste of time , hardly anyone's wearing them properly anyway

 

Masks are pointless now that the virus is aerosolised rather than being transferred through the water droplets when breathing/speaking.

 

Personally, I'm of the opinion we should be wearing them in public even if COVID wasn't an issue. We lose so many days of productivity because of silly illnesses like colds that are spread because people walk around coughing everywhere, putting their germ-carrying hands all over everything and just the general thing of invading others space (be it because they are just ignorant twats who despite there being space feel the need to stand mm's away from you or because we pack people into places like sardines). There are just simple things we can be doing that really aren't a hardship that could help improve the health of the country but people are too self-obsessed and want to act like some common decency is a real hardship (And for the record I don't like wearing a mask, I wear glasses and it causes them to steam up no matter what I try but I'm find doing it for the good of others)

 

They are not pointless. Most masks will provide some protection, although higher grade masks (N95, FFP2 and especially FFP3) will provide a high level of protection. And, of course, even the highest grade masks tend not to work too well when they are hanging around someone's neck.

Masks can be vital in reducing the viral load that someone sheds and that someone is exposed to, especially in crowded and poorly ventilated indoor areas.
