Texas Pete Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just now, Farcity said: And the part that says you are more likely to get it through the eyes? A quick Google search would suggest a mask would make you five times less likely to be infected through the mouth/nose. I'd say that was pretty substantial. And you called me a pedant? I didn’t say you were more likely to get it through your eyes. I said just as likely, if not more likely. I didn’t know whether you were more likely to get it through your eyes or not. You certainly are if you’re wearing a mask. I honestly didn’t do that much research into it but if you touch your face with an infected hand you will probably get the virus whether you’re wearing a mask or not. Just my opinion, based on what I’ve read and watched. If you disagree that’s fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me, this place is becoming an absolute joke. It is a joke indeed. It's titled coronavirus yet you are rambling on about Boris and his potential as a pub quiz team member and pruning hedges and potting geraniums.

I agree it could be effective if an infected person coughed or sneezed in your face whilst you had your eyes closed or were wearing protective eyewear like doctors do. How many people are going to wear eye protection as well? Why are we being told there’s not much point in wearing a mask if they are that effective? Wouldn’t the government be advising us to wear them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Italian deaths down today, hopefully the quarantine lag has caught up and we see more of a reduction each day. Then we need a treatment quick to try so we can relax the shutdown of the economy and then hold out till a vaccination is developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me that I’m not allowed to give my opinion on whether face masks are effective against the coronavirus on a coronavirus thread? If you don’t agree with me that’s fair enough but why be rude about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been pictured with half a hollowed out orange being used as a face mask. The real fear hasn't hit Britain yet... You'll know it has when you have a pair of your old Y-Fronts wrapped around your face doing your weekly shop.

In that case just wait till the washing powder runs out, allied with the lack of bog roll. Folk stoating up and down the frozen food section with skidmarks across their chin.

TDYER63 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My friend who is a nurse sent this text earlier. Folk shouldn't really need to fill up if they are supposed to be isolating but I think we are kidding ourselves if we think no one is going out.

Where do you live? I can’t say I’ve seen that many people wearing masks in and around Glasgow. I’ve seen a few but I’ve seen a lot more wearing blue gloves.
