When out do you wear a face mask survey?

At this time of national crisis, it is important that you make a positive contribution to lift the spirts of others.
I make my contribution by continuing to allow the good people of Aberdeen to see my handsome face when I am out and about

Haven't worn one once yet. Going shopping for my elderly folks later so will wear one then

So there are some positives to come out of this, the public haven't got to see kenny's ugly old Chevy Chase

No.

But it does mildly interest me that when I walk the one and half miles to the fish and chip shop, there are no mask-wearers at one end of the road, but lots at the far end. Presumably there is a shop just round the corner with a big sign in the window saying "we sell masks here".

Spotted someone in a mask on Monday .
Driving a Corsa , no passengers and with the windows closed . Must've thought it may enter the vehicle through the air vents

Yes I do!...and gloves no matter how warm is and wooly hat

Those automation machines for self service require skin on screen so when I get back home I scrub my hands thoroughly.

When you study infection rates in Hong Kong, Singapore & South Korea where face mask wearing is almost universal you will understand why

any scientist telling you benefits of a facemask imo is basically telling you its airborne, the 5th/6th largest country in the world and no one in who etc telling them their mad not to be wearing facemasks

That is because there are a severe lack of masks in UK and the goverment are trying to keep them for the nhs.

No, to op,

I would make a mask if had to go in town to supermarket etc but lucky enough where i live i have a walk sussed where i might only pass a couple of people.

Does it help you creep up on the sheep sofee, is it a Texel mask?

yes and will be even be wearing one indoors when the plumber pops round to sort out a leak.

Watch you don't set it on fire when you have a woodbine,have you put a wee hole in so you can smoke without taking it off?

There are three aspects to wearing a mask.

1 - It limits the spread of any of the output of sneezing and coughing by the wearer
2 - It provides the wear with protection from the output of sneezing and coughing by others
3 - It limits the ability of the wearer to place their hands in contact with their mouth and nose

Depending on who you wish to listen to, the benefits derived from aspect 1 is significantly greater than the benefits from aspect 2.

There will also be a psychological benefit derived from wearing a mask.
Again, dependent on who you wish to listen to, this may lead to a false sense of security.

i think number 1 is correct angoose, i am obviously far more public spirited than you

you should follow nassim taleb on tweeter, more maths and charts than you could shake a stick at

100% wear a masks in the supermarket and latex gloves and an alcohol spray. Hardly seen anyone with gloves and few with masks. Don’t wear these when on a walk.

that's the exact one i wear flush

Everyone I've seen wearing a mask has been continually touching their face to adjust it.

Seems far safer not to wear one, particularly as the key to avoiding infection is not to touch the eyes and mouth (and not to stick your finger in your nose either, if you're so inclined).

Washing my hands when I get home, and not touching my face until I do so, has worked fine for me so far.

If you're in an enclosed space close to someone coughing for a period of time, then a weapons-grade mask would be of benefit. Moving away from the person coughing would be even better.

I am still waiting for mine to be deleivered

I wear a golf snood, a bit hot though

No I don't but I make sure I am never within 5 metres of another human and have managed to maintain that for 4 weeks.

wd sageform

I don't but then I'm 90% certain I've had the virus.

£200 for a private antibody test.  I'll wait for them to be £5 in Boots

i have a mask i bought for when i was sanding some furniture.

very uncomfortable to wear


lots of masks i see are simple pieces of cloth to cover nose and mouth and probably not
so intrusive

looks like the world is going down that route

yup..apart from this **** country..should be mandatory in supermarkets imo.

dumb as* is banded?..ffs.

I wear a mask..got away with £800 at Tesco last night.

No and no plans to either.

Tbf I feel pretty safe in the supermarket. I really wear it because I shop for my mother. Most people are pretty good. There aren’t that many ignorant and rude people or rather I have not seen any yet.

YES  I DO have done for two weeks , give it 4 weeks Masks will be the norm

If of course there are any left

The guy who runs the Local Shop doesn't No screen either

definitely not

Haven't been outside for about a month (apart from garden) and don't have a mask if I had.

No chance.
