Right, so all covid patients in hospitals should really be wearing masks.

The general consensus would be that if everyone had commenced wearing masks months ago, then many Irish people would never have become Covid patients.

It's kind of gobsmacking to realise how little of a sh1t some people give for their fellow country men and women.

Not all though - most of the pro maskers in here started wearing them months back.

I met a couple of elderly ladies out shopping this afternoon, both are well into their 80s, neither of whom were wearing masks. They were happy out enjoying life. A great attitude to have.

I met 50 old ladies and the pope out for a stroll to the shops and they all had masks on happy enjoying life a great attitude to have.

This is how it works right

Great attitudes can kill you.
Lots of happy out people dead in ditches after driving home drunk.
Get real.

No, see you're post is just not true. Just like the myth the pro-mask nazis are pushing that shops are going to become virus hotspots come Monday morning.

I'd say 70-80% of the customers in Aldi were wearing masks today. Much better than I've seen to date. The cashier I was dealing with had a mini coughing fit in the middle of scanning my groceries through. She coughed into her bare elbow after a moment - I wonder how useful that'll be?

The only one making that claim is you, above, as your precious strawman

Can you explain why wearing a mask for the duration of the shop would ruin their day? From what I can see, wearing masks isn't stopping people from chatting to each other. People getting out of their cars and going into the shop are still talking to each other. They're talking in the shop. I noticed two people who know each other talking in Aldi.

Just back from B&Q and Lidl, I reckon 60%+ wearig masks/face shields/face coverings in B&Q and about 75% in Lidl, good improvement.

Well human beings are still going to need to cough...and it’s hay fever season now.
Unless you plan on licking the packaging on all your groceries then I’d imagine you’ll be just fine.

Where is a good place to get a cotton mask?

It's amazing how we all survived going to the supermarket without masks at the peak.

Where did I say I thought I'd catch Coronavirus? Don't be ridiculous. It's easier to make a smartarse comment like that, isn't it?

If you're on Facebook, there are some Irish people advertising there......there's a couple of sellers on eBay too.

I think you'll find most of them were in nursing homes and they hadn't set foot in a supermarket in years.

I put a mask on going into the supermarket today.
I'd say about 40 percent of people had them on.
I haven't worn one until now but have been doing everything else in my day to avoid possibly contracting or spreading this virus.
It was uncomfortable, a pain in the ar*e but no big deal.
The sooner we can get this into people's heads.
Nobody is saying this is perfect but if one little thing you can do will break a chain of spreading this crap then just do it....Fu*cking helllll

We lost well over a thousand people from shopping? The lies from the pro mask nutters are insane.

We did survive going to the supermarket without masks at the peak of the pandemic. Case numbers dropped to a miniscule level despite shops being open and almost no masks being worn. Shops are NOT high risk environments.

I hate this attitude that most people were old and past their sell by date. There were people in their 20s who died from this.

Well why bring it up then? You’re in the Coronavirus forum speaking about a worker in a supermarket sneezing. You thought it relevant to bring that up so evidently the implication is there from your side, not mine.

You dont seem to get the concept of infectious diseases.
People brought it into nursing homes.
They had to pick it up somewhere.
We dont know where exactly but enclosed spaces are higher risk than elsewhere.

Yes in nursing homes and medical facilities. Not down the local Aldi

I can only hope that the supermarket worker doesn't have the virus, no more than I can only hope that anybody else I now meet is in the same boat. All I said I'd that I would have been happier if she had been wearing a mask. What's so wrong with that?
