Masks

How many people on Boards have a mask and if so are you wearing them for essential trips? And this late in the day where can you get one that is going to be half decent and not from a suspect seller who could have done anything to it?

Who is enforcing the wearing of masks on public transport?

Another Karen story: woman was refused service at a California Starbucks, so she plastered the baristas face online and tried to shame him. Instead, someone set up a go fund me for tips for the barista that raised $105k

Here’s the kicker: she wants half. She says she was discriminated against and as evidence for being medically excused from wearing a mask she produced medical records from 2015 when she had an ovarian cyst and documents from her chiropractor. I’m also told she’s an avid antivaxxer, which explains why you would think ovary or spinal pain is a legitimate rise for not wearing a mask. Some people.

Is the mask requirement in shops now in immediate effect?

No we're not.

I've had pricks try to attack me because I wouldn't let them out in the middle of the road

Try to go for me for asking them to pay their fare

Gypo scammers trying different types of crap to steal the money

I am in my hole going to be telling people to wear a mask.

Don't care for them either. But at least they had the decency to disappear in the background knowing they'd make a meal of this.

Edit: Now I'm beginning to see this is some stupid ongoing joke of yours. You just cost me a couple of minutes of my life. Stop that sh1te.

It's unfair I think to put this on bus drivers.
A bus driver in Bayonne, France, was beaten to death when he tried to tell some passengers they needed a mask.
Instead have Garda do random checks at bus stops.

Unless I missed something the legislation is a joke,
there are too many "reasonable excuses":

(a) the person cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering – (i) because of any physical or mental illness, impairment, or disability, or (ii) without severe distress,

there is nothing about specific conditions and the rules can be explained differently.

also the enforcement is bit unclear:

Under the regulations, where a passenger is not wearing a face covering, a “relevant person” – including public transport staff such as bus and train drivers, as well as National Transport Authority officials – may request the passenger to wear a face covering, refuse the passenger entry to the public transport vehicle, or may request the passenger to alight from the vehicle.

In a statement, gardaí said: “In circumstances where a non-compliant passenger, without reasonable excuse, fails to accept the refusal or comply with a ‘relevant person’s’ request, members of An Garda Síochána may be called to assist.”

While the National Bus and Rail Union has welcomed the move towards mandatory mask-wearing, the union’s general secretary, Dermot O’Leary, said his members would not be policing the regulations. He said if a dispute arose over the non-wearing of masks, transport staff would contact the control centre to call gardaí to the scene.

Spend 5 minutes or less in a shop socially distanced, you gotta wear a mask. Can sit in a restaurant for 105 minutes and not be expected to wear one for practical reason such as eating. Makes complete sense to me :rolleyes:

Curtain twitchers, haven't left their home since March, emailing their TD begging to impose their will on others of wearing a mask going to the shop 'in case just one, JUST ONE, life is saved' virtue signalling ballix, when the logic of it all utterly fails. And the evidence of the last 4 months suggest masks are pointless in those settings. We all breathed over each other while picking our easy singles in Tesco and guess what, nothing, 0 community transfer. None.

No its not.

"The new regulation has not yet been drafted and could take a matter of “days or weeks” to be signed off on, said government sources."

I wonder, are we allowed to wear the face cover and full eye protection when entering banks and An Post offices? For the sake of Holy COVID?

Balaclava and sunglasses is a good look for any occasion but especially hip in banks and post offices I believe.

What I took from that was that masks are a placebo. There is extremely limited evidence they work, but the paradox that wearing them encourages greater compliance with social distancing seems likely the greatest contributor to their efficacy, how odd.

I clicked through to Jeremy Howard's Twitter account to see what he was talking about. He is very pro-mask.

All the masked crusaders on here are being hoodwinked.

Mandatory mask wearing has more to do with superstition and optics than public health.

It's all a load of balls and will make shag-all difference.

Well, quite, and am sure that didnt bias his research at all.

The honking great para about them being a placebo was lovely. But if it works, I guess it works.

They're a placebo outside of medical settings or inside a house with a source.

Yes indeed, which is why HCW have worn masks for years on wards to hoodwink the public, the illumanati are involved, something to do with golden ratio and aliens but not prevention of infection, never prevention of the spread of Covid19.

Must say I'm delighted to hear this, we are by no means in the "at risk" cathegory, both 40s but we both have elderly parents which we see once a week, in the mean time we video call them. As for ourselves with live in a very rural area where with both work remotely from home, we do a big shop once per week, with a possible small shop in between if needed mid-week, everything else we are self-sufficent, We always wear a mask when going for the weekly shop, without an issue.

Don't know why your choosing microfiber as your material? 2 masks from one cloth? 1 layer masks so is it? Might aswell wear your jocks up over your face.

It's an absolute disgrace that retail staff are being expected to wear masks. They are too uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. If bus drivers don't have to wear them then nor should retail staff. Customers don't have to be in shops for that long.

I see till staff likely don't have to wear them due to the perspex screens but not everyone who works in retail works on a till some stock shelves. The other alternative for supermarkets to close early at like 6pm and allow staff to stock the shelves so they don't have to wear masks but of course this won't be feasible so just make staff exempt. Masks are too uncomfortable and are dangerous to wear for long periods of time.

I don't think the NBRU would put up with it if bus drivers were obliged to wear masks and rightly so but nor should retail staff.
