I practice social distancing constantly. i haven’t been told I have to stay in my house any more so I go out when i want to go out. i went to the hallamshire to get my father in laws blood thinners last week and wore a mask whilst I was in the hospital because they are the rules. so now there’s some speculation as to whether mandatory face masks are required and I don’t agree you call me a fool? grow up. I don’t seem to be the only one questioning your judgement. What is wrong with wearing a face covering in public places? Why are you so opposed to it. Research suggests that it cuts down transmission by up to 30%. What’s not to like about that? Indeed, if it cut transmission by 1%, what would be the problem?

Contrary to some views I think forcing people to wear masks isn’t necessary in most scenarios. And is also a pretty grim prospect for us all as well. theres plenty of information you can read if you want to see the opposing argument for it. You only have to google it. It’s interesting that the mere suggestion of disagreeing with an approach immediately led you to call me a fool, that I was curtailing your liberty, affecting your life and needing to look in the mirror. that attitude is far more worrying, and dangerous, than coronavirus.

I'll see your Huffington Post & Guardian & raise you the with my BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-51768274#referrer=https://www.google.com The figures presented for deaths on the 11th are more than double what they were this time last week. 148 deaths reported yesterday compared with 67 same time last week. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ Edited July 11, 2020 by Baron99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you’ve ignored my questions. It might work for the pm, but it doesn’t wash with me. What is so wrong with wearing a face covering? What are you afraid of? And, yes. If many people disagree with you, it quite likely makes you wrong Edited July 11, 2020 by Pettytom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all depends upon who agrees with you. I have the WHO on my side. You seem to have Brenda from Twitter on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) As Sheffield is now listed as being in the highest risk group of local authorities we should, as responsible people of this city, take all steps to reduce the risk of being shut down again and the resulting effect on our city. If Trump can change his mind and wear a mask we all can. Edited July 12, 2020 by Annie Bynnol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmiss Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I think there might well be an increase in both cases and deaths when shielding of people extremely vulnerable to the virus and the associated support ends on 1st August coinciding with many of the population returning to the old normal.

Annie Bynnol Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Being in the top five of at risk councils we need "enhanced support" . In, Sheffield we now have a new walk in testing centre on Worksop Road. You are advised to wear a mask when you cannot socially distance. Transport has different rules and advice.

It’s pointless wearing a mask if you aren’t to wear it properly and keeping jabbing at your face with grubby fingers. Yes, I’ve thought this too. Ive also heard that masks do not work if they get wet. If that is correct they aren’t going to be much use in winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
