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?

Was this not already mandatory?

I find the visor much better. I don't keep poking and adjusting it like I do the mask.

But they aren’t effective as protection , on their own. If you wear the visor over the mask, you won’t be as likely to touch the mask !

Better for you. Not for anyone you may come into contact with. They are intended to be worn in addition to, not instead of masks.

Face mask is there to limit spread of infections, that's why should sit properly on your face, to limit escaping droplets as you breathe. You can imagine face shield on it's own won't be anywhere close to be as effective as a face mask.

Face visors aren’t permitted in some countries

Actually no, they're not better for you.

A user here posted a link a few weeks ago about an outbreak in Switzerland where people who wore masks didn't get infected but those that wore visors got infected. So seems like masks provide some protection.

I know but I get dizzy with masks .Ive tried and start sweating and not good.If shield passes it might help

There is no respiratory reason why you should react like that.

Try it outside the shop. Somewhere you are in control and can sit and get used to it eg garden or park.
I find if I put mask on leaving house and walk to corner shop by the time I get there I barely notice it anymore.

Seemingly not, it definitely wasn't being enforced in shops

Remember: The purpose of a face mask is to protect other people from the wearer, not the wearer from everyone else.

One assumes to pass a law requiring them.

If you have the right kind of mask it will protect the wearer. They have gone up at least 5 to. 6 times the price they used to be, but peace of mind is worth it.

They don't protect against sh1t. Wearing a mask to stop a virus is like installing a chain link fence to stop flies.

You've been around this thread long enough to know better. The virus doesn't travel on it's own, it travels on water droplets 1000s of times larger than it is, which are indeed trapped by the masks.

You keep jumping around from indefensible position to indefensible position.

You need to be a little more specific about the type of mask your referring to, see the way Tsap does it?

Saying that a mask made of kitchen roll or toilet roll or even a silk scarf, to combat a virus, is the equivalent of saying that a barbed wire fence will stop a mosquito, whether it is going in or going out.

Cop on.

Which can be stopped by coughing/sneezing into your sleeve. Viruses have been around since forever I never remember the need to wear dehumanising masks ever before in my lifetime. The masks are about control not saving people from a virus with a low mortality rate.

Classic case of being limited by NPHET/HSE advice. WHO cites speaking as a form of transmission, how you going to solve that one, talk into your sleeve?

Well if that's the case then wear the mask at home when your speaking to family members. They're the people most at risk surely if you follow your logic?

You're trying to equate this to a rhinovirus or influenza virus. Don't. It's a coronavirus, so was SARS. It transmits on your breathed vapors at all times, it's not just a matter of coughs and sneezes.

Control of what exactly? You are not making any sense.

Stopped from going into the air or onto someone's face but it is all over your sleeve! What do you do with your sleeve afterwards, rip it off and dispose of it in a bin, spray disenfectant on it, wrap it in cling film until you get home and can put it in the washing machine?

You've become a wet tissue, what have you done so far during this pandemic when you cough or sneeze into your sleeve?

Nobody does that everytime they cough/sneeze into a mask. Why is a sleeve any different to mask?

Cough into my arm/sleeve. Like I always do cv19 or not
