The silly cloth things that people wear walking around Tesco are
useless.

On what basis did you reach that conclusion? As long as they're at
least two layers thick, they'll do the job they're intended to do.

Lull people into a false sense of security, yes. They're excellent at
that. I for one am not so easily fooled.


Perhaps the message that they aren't intended to protect the wearer,
hasn't got through?

This is a wonderful commentary on the ability of the general public to
"act like grown-ups" and make sensible decisions based on the perceived
risks, when they fall at the first fence like this.


I am perfectly capable of acting like a grown-up by making my own
decisions and not wearing something I know to be useless.


but you are wearing it to protect *me*!

(and I am wearing mine to protect you)

It might be completely unnecessary for this mutual protection out in the
street, but on PT it's going to be necessary when we get back to even 50%
loadings

so we are all practicing now
