Oh I thought you could enlighten me JC!
I’ve looked at the studies which are inconclusive. Decent article here for example . https://time.com/5815251/should-you-wear-a-mask-coronavirus/ Juce’s point is a good one but masks can still be sourced and homemade is also possible. The advice is stay at home. Why? To not spread nor contract the virus. Most are doing this. When we venture out most are keeping their distance. Surely though a mask would be an added protection when we do go out for food, work or our exercise? It may not guarantee our safety but it must help by at least a few percent. It’s all about the droplets from our breath. Anything to protect our mouth and also eyes must help. Some say it lowers inhibitions making us more careless. I think the opposite. It reinforces the ‘stay away from me’ message. |

Shops here are still fully stocked with all food so that's one good aspect

Also we touch our mouth, nose a lot subconsciously so it stops that too
I also wear sunglasses all the time |

I just do this by loudly garbling nonsense about 5G wherever I go, and then giving them a death stare if they are mad enough to make eye contact. Works for me :) Yours, Just Wormood Scrubs But seriously: All the "evidence" is masks help stop spreading a lot, but not so much taking it in. I've a few DIY masks around but don't bother. |

Hancock is an idiot. Theres no way people are going to stop their exercise. I certainly wont.

I think the main reason wearing a mask in public is not advised is because there's already a shortage of that for key NHS workers without the public joining the customer/user chain. Another is it could induce a false security for wearers eg going out more, and animosity towards those without or not doing so for specific health reasons.
But, neither will beat the advice of staying at home ie you cannot infect and you cannot contract, if so. Maybe cling-film ones face and mouth. and breath thro' a tube strategically attached, wearer dependent or accordingly. |

The public have been absolutely superb. Work has virtually stopped. Nearly all shops are shut. Trains, buses and tube have seen a massive fall in usage.
No pubs, cafes or restaurants open. No sport. Spying on walkers or picnickers isn’t going to make a jot of difference compared with the above. |

Dotch ...they're public school morons, we all know that .. I wouldn't want them running my finances ...
however , we need to get a grip as a nation ...exercising is great ,but this week i've seen more runners ,joggers and cyclists than i've ever seen in my whole life  it's like the world and his dog are training for the 2021 Olympics . It's obviously some sort of uprising ,but between the sunbathers and the joggers this could get nasty |

Coach, are any of these sunbathers wearing bikinis, and do you have photos?
We, the rightuous of chit chat, must observe the evidence. [Direct mail preferred]. |

Daily walking for the last two years has reversed my diabetes and cut both the top and bottom number of my blood pressure by 20.
Hell will freeze over before I sit at home just to please a **** like Hancock. All he will achieve is lose the goodwill of many and make things much much worse. |

biggest craze in uk are beards,stubble,3/4 day growth all of which prohibit you from getting a properly sealed fit of a facemask,wonder if dr,s /nhs workers get a face fitting cert whilst sporting facial hair,your normaly told the day before fitting test to be clean shaven,rather deveats the object if soon as you have your cert to grow facial hair again, its quite disorientating doing a proper test breath in and out heavily, for a few min,count to 120 etc,etc,move your head side to side,up and down etc,etc

When will we ever get the government paying for 80% of time-off work (plus 20% for the fortunate ones) and mortgage holiday, free overdraft and temporary freeze of loans and credit cards payments for the next 3 months? Some have never had it better, and with the lovely weather the greedy, stupid and foolish will welcome with open arms.
As the peak is approaching I believe staying at home is the best strategic policy; exercising need not be outside the house/flat with or without a garden at this juncture - one cannot be too careful. Take the advice from NHS workers eg nurses, medics, police and care home personnel. |

By:
Thats over the top impossible but feel free to stay home all day if you want. Others want to get out and can do so in a responsible way and will continue to do so.

Yes getting ready for it in Shelly Road near town centre up on their lifters. The bent counsel here let City Fibre (for a huge backhander and f uck the poor bastards who live here) lay the dark fibre in every street in the Worthing area, the only town in West Sussex to do so. Tried talking to Cllr Yallop but never get an answer-cant tell you how surprised I was at that one Coach.
