Never mind those ugly plastic can ring braces, get a proper mask.

What's your view on the people selling their dirty old bed sheets as face masks?

What is yours, and where is your evidence that what they are selling is old and used fabric, particularly from bed sheets?

Yes: surgical

Selling a mask made out of dirty fabric seems a bit iffy, but using recycled material, whether from clothing or sheets seems quite eco-friendly. And washing a fabric mask before the first wear, as well as after every subsequent wear, seems only common sense - you don't actually know anything about the person who made it (unless you made it yourself, in which case you know exactly why it should be washed).

So even if someone was selling a mask made of dirty sheeting, it would be clean by the time anyone with basic intelligence wore it anyway.

Again? No more supermarkets?

I saw a very elderly woman in a shop today. She was wearing a mask but she kept on touching the mask and touching her face, constantly adjusting it, I was terrified for her. She eventually gave up on the mask and took it off as it appeared to be too much of an annoyance to her.

SHe is making an effort though unlike some who just try to walk in without them because it is an infrigment on their personal rights or some such.

Its a bad idea to put the mask on for first time just as you are going into the shop.

You need a few tries at home to get it to sit right.
I see people cycling bikes with masks on.
People walking hundreds of metres.
Not adjusting their masks.

If you can tie shoe laces, put on a tie you can put a mask on properly.

And she put herself at higher risk. I was genuinely frightened for the woman. There are plenty more like her who incorrectly use masks. We've all seen them.

I think masks made from dirty bed sheets are disgusting, and the people who sell them are a disgrace. As our the people who sell masks that don't meet the basic face covering requirements. It really doesn't take much effort to have seen this, you might as well be asking me for evidence that grass is green and the sky is blue.

Can you link me to where I can buy these masks made from dirty sheets? It's a kink of mine.

I've not seen anyone sell a mask out of a soiled or used bed sheet. Clearly, you have no evidence of this and are talking out of your rear.

Some people really need to open their eyes, talk to people, and see what's happening out there in the big bad world.

Can you give us a link? I keep my eyes open but clearly I have been looking in the wrong places.

I haven't got a link to a website like dirtymasks.com, not everything is online.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that you haven't been out in that real world in some time. Not one dirty bedsheet on a single person's face in the shops today.

Your constant tales and curmudgeon's attitude to a simple face covering has become tiresome.

Yes. Not just bedsheet masks but SOILED bedsheet ones.

I'll just keep replying in pics. Enjoy your drinks or whatever you prefer.

I've been out in the real world dealing with people throughout the entire pandemic. The same eejits that were calling for the country to be locked down until there wasn't a single case of COVID left are the same ones banging on about masks and ignoring the fact that they don't work safely for everyone. #GWANOUTTADATANDIGNOREREALITY

That's not answering our questions. Where are these people wearing SOILED bedsheets over their faces hanging around? Other than in the bored recesses of your mind.

If you're shocked by that, I'd say you don't see half of what goes on around the place.

I'm not shocked. I'm laughing at you.

I don't give a toss if you're laughing at the points I'm making. Fair enough if you don't believe people are making masks from dirty old bedsheets. Fair enough if you don't give a **** about people, particularly elderly people, who are at higher risk of infection due to incorrect mask usage.
