"I'm lobbying our government and advisers to change their advice, and I want us to do that sooner rather than later.

"They are already reviewing this on the basis of our representation."

Can you believe this Mug , the Tube running has caused the deaths of thousands

What needs to be explained is where his lobbying was to shut that and his airports down .

Any evidence that they have any effect to support his demand?
Any evidence that every citizen in London could get one anytime soon?

who is going to pay for them?

and will the Government continue allow people to fly in from Beijing without even taking their temperature and allow them to travel on the Tube?

Gosh this Khan May be an idiot but who is in charge of the Airports?

The evidence is South Korea, Hong Kong & Singapore where mask wearing is almost universal.

The mask I've been wearing came from the Home Bargains and is probably more a dust mask.....next time I venture out may use a scarf instead.

Wouldn't any kind of cloth mask be dangerous? Droplets land on it, stay there, and you just keep breathing them in?

A non-waterproof mask could be more dangerous than no mask. ("Could be" - I'm putting the question out there.)

That's without the problem that everyone I see wearing them is constantly touching their face to adjust them. Which is the principal route for transmitting the virus.

Why do they wear masks in hospitals?

Why is this virus under better control in SE Asia?

Why do we not know if the use of masks help during a Pandemic. We had a huge exercise in 2016. The prospect of a flu Pandemic starting in China has known to be a bigger risk than Nuclear War and Terrorism.

If I had to travel on the Tube I would wear a mask and I would be reassured if others did too and wore gloves. I would also like to see hand sanitizer at stations and platforms.

Khan is beyond words.

The other day they were challenging him on why bus drivers etc weren't wearing PPE as quite a few have died.

He was saying he is following government / National health advice.

Pretty sure he is in charge of the transport in London and so he could have just made it compulsory to use them and he wouldn't have needed that much PPE either just masks for bus drivers so would have been achievable.

Now he's coming out with this, which would need millions of masks and is very hard to implement just for Political gain to make it look like he's doing something.
Report screaming from beneaththewaves April 17, 2020 11:25 AM BST
I think it's the 'compulsory' word which gives me the shivers more than anything. It always does.

If it's so obvious that masks are beneficial, why would you have to make non-use illegal in the first place? Why would people with a different view (the vast majority evidently) have to be placed under house-arrest?

Report lurka April 17, 2020 8:25 PM BST
I would imagine that if face masks were widely available or easily obtainable for everyone, then the advice would have been to wear them at all times.

The fact that they weren't has led to the advice that they aren't that beneficial imo. I don't believe they aren't that beneficial, I don't see how they wouldn't be. It is about not advising something that you can't provide and not creating panic, not incurring the wrath of your population, not making yourself look out of your depth or hopelessly unprepared, rather than what is the best advice.

so all the vulnerable people on a longer lock dow,those younger and healthy who supposedly could shake it off,all wearing masks which will stop them getting it, Confused. commits a vaccine or nothing older,vulnerable people locked inside for 18 months and will be last to get any vaccine probably.
without masks less than 15% have thought to have built up any immunity,if masks work not a chance of getting anywhere  near the 60% plus needed for herd immunity,if herd immunity was the government plan, pretty obvious why mask wearing wasn't encouraged

Dunno what the Asians advised their people but can't imagine they're all wearing masks without being advised to.

We are told that the main way it spreads is from nose/mouth droplets from coughing and sneezing and that from a surface onto the hands/touching mouth/nose/eyes is a secondary way it spreads. Yet all we are told is 'wash your hands' repeatedly, ie protect against the secondary spread but not the primary one?

Even the N95 masks which are supposed to be effective - we are not even told 'wear one of these if you have one'.
Seems like the 'advice' is based on politics to me and the more powerful western countries have an input into what WHO advice is suitable to them, rather than what is best for people.

You are being lied to

They do not have enough PPE forNHS staff let alone care home workers who are spreading the disease and culling the old folk off the official statistics.

They do not want the public to buy masks as it will highlight how useless the authorities have been in procurement.

One of the ideas of mask is to protect you from me and I would expect you to protect me from you. It is very simple and does not need a WHO confirmation.

Wake up people!

I went to a Sainsbury’s local last night. No social distancing, no masks, no gloves.

No chance this will go away soon.

The convolutions necessary for safe mask wearing are totally beyond most of us. And there's a real danger of a false sense of security amongst those people who feel it's themselves they are protecting. For every thoughtless person who pushes too close in the supermarket aisle, or coughs without properly covering their mouth, there are ten in danger of being infected with Paranoiavirus complacentimaximus who is swaddled in cloth, crosses the road if they see anybody coming and reprimands people who let their kids off the lead.
