Except evidence shows they do help if you aren't using some knock off Chinese thing and wear it right. They don't stop it or anything else being transmitted but they reduce it, especially if both parties are wearing them.
And I mean just imagine we forget everything and go back to normal and then the big one that's been warned about that is as contagious if not more so than Covid and which has a really high mortality rate (As Covid's while higher than things like Flu isn't massively high, the number of deaths are just so high as so many people got it) and it could be devastating to the UK let alone the world. Little things like Masks, giving people more personal space rather than jamming everyone into places so they are almost on top of each other and people just being more aware and conscientious could make a massive difference and save millions of lives

The 8,000 attending were split 2,000 from each club and 4,000 made up of local residents/NHS staff.
For this match, the 2,000 Manchester City fans were given a choice of:
1) 250 car spaces (presumably based on an average of two per car);
2) 750 coach spaces; and
3) 750 spaces on two chartered trains.
Fans had to live in a certain post code to qualify and have a PCR and a lateral flow test before the match and another PCR test after the match, to qualify.
I suppose after all that, grouping them close together, inside the ground, made little difference.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Frank Castle likes this. -
All gave negative tests, sat outside in the open and still forced to have a mask on all day. Bonkers.

Nevertheless, I hope we can quickly get to a stage where masks are no longer required, at least outside of a medical environment. I'd certainly like us to reach that position by Spring 2022, if not by later this year.
I think there is likely to be some mask requirement, at matches this summer and probably into the early part of next season but, hopefully, next season will end more or less back to normal, by which time we will be seeing Wembley Stadium full again.Stop hovering to collapse...

The whole purpose is to loosen the lockdown rules so that people are deliberately in closer contact with each without social distancing and without masks (in Liverpool) and then to measure the infection rates after the event from easing these lockdown restrictions. Of course, the important aspect is that everybody who is part of the experiment has already had a negative RLF test result prior to the event! The success of the trial is therefore whether pre-testing provides a good outcome in infection levels.
If the trials work and it can be demonstrated that there is no rise in infection levels from the guinea pigs as they might be called, then it will help to ease the restrictions on certain types of largescale events such as festivals, theatres and sports events. Of course, that means that those attending these post-lockdown events will have to had met the original criterion, ie having had a negative RLF test beforehand.
I suspect that's where this is leading. If mass venues want to have lockdown restrictions eased, those attending will have to have proof of a recent negative RLF test or some other proof of 'immunity' such as a Covid vaccination. I'm sure Govie will let us all into his cunning plan shortly!Stafford Bantam likes this. -

They should be starting small with people spread out well and then as more people get vaccinated, we learn more about the true effectiveness of the vaccines and clubs get much better in adapting how they operate and manage the people they can increase it bit by bitStop hovering to collapse...
