The silly cloth things that people wear walking around Tesco are

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?

Of course it hasn't got through. Do you think all those mask wearing
bed wetters who cross the road when someone approaches them do it for
the other person?


I'd expect them to be doing it because they understand that such masks
aren't PPE, and therefore they have to avoid the oncoming person. Or it
could just be that they want to keep 2m away.

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.

Plenty of the general public are making sensible decisions - they're
ignoring
the 2m nonsense and not wearing idiotic masks.


Demonstrating that they are unable to act like grown-ups.


Grown ups understand risks are part of life and get on with it. Pensioners
with health complications are highly likely to die of flu yet you never
saw a
flurry of masks and 2m distancing appear every time a flu bug passes
through
even though they're highly contagious.


because most of them went for their free inoculation
