The main source of infection is airborne transmission through person to person contact. Going about your business as normal with no physical protection will leave you more open to catching this dreadful disease. Wear a face covering, practice good hygience and follow socially distance etiquette, the only way to manage this thing.
Not so much worried about myself it is the transmission of the virus by these filters on our faces and the spread of the virus because we all thought and were told to do it by people who should know better and as a consequence people will die because of our actions!
A face covering is about stopping an infected person spreading the virus. If everyone wears one then it is way harder for the virus to spread. Use your brain.
But they don't do they as most people cannot use them all day or communicate with them on they don't work in the wet they are strewn all over the environment offices and in vans for someone else to clean up. So in short they do not work as you say they do if they did we would not be talking about this now or further lockdowns so they do not work it was just a ploy to get those who were scared of dying back on the high street and in shops as Covid brain Boris was ambushed into it. For the sake of the environment ditch the mask's, Fed up with seeing people touching the mask's and touching something else like food or hand rails might just as well spit on it and have done with it!

Masks offer protection from viruses. You don't have to wear them all day but just when you're when there are many people about, like in shops.

Its just using some common sense which unfortunately some people don't have.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Wow, so how long have you been in your bunker with your tin hat, binge watching David Icke's greatest hits? The lizard people are eating your brain cells.
You know zero about the PCR test. Baaaa.
What's the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test got to do with k979aaa's descent into madness?
It’s use at 45 cycles of amplification to direct policy ought to be taken into account when assessing whether or not he’s descending into madness.

I’ll assume you’re familiar with the details.

The simplistic statement that "masks don't work" doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.
Any barrier between an infected person and an uninfected person whether it's distance, a plastic shield or a mask will make the spread of that disease more difficult.

The argument that people don't use them properly doesn't stack up either, putting a condom on your head won't do much to stop pregnancy but it doesn't mean the condom doesn't work properly, it means you don't.

All this conspiracy theory bullshit and using big scientific words copied from Wiki doesn't make people look clever, people are still dying and just because they're older people doesn't mean they deserve to die coughing up a lung just because some smartass has been watching nutbag videos on YouTube.

This is a genuine disease with real victims and the sooner people stop playing keyboard scientist and let the real scientists get on with it the sooner we'll get through it. We are relatively lucky in the UK, we have a decent and free health service and a welfare state that means the vast majority of us won't starve, rather than moan about having to wear a mask and the pubs being shut and wasting time watching David Ike perhaps there's something more positive you could find to do, maybe find someone in a more precarious situation than you and try to help them.

If the inventor of the test being used was still alive the test wouldn’t be being used for this.

What’s your take on that?

Mandatory from tomorrow in canteens unless seated at a table, also when going to a bathroom.

Unless you've brought him back to life to ask his opinion I don't have a take on it.

Oh yeah seen that but we don't have any communal workplaces in Royal Mail do we but if we did how would anyone get any work done with a mask on? Anyway it's great coming from Nicola big fish with her pontificating everyday at 12:00 the Co2 emissions go through the roof everyday at that time as everyone has a cuppa has everywhere that had a decent pint has long since closed down possibly for good. And who said puritanism was dead well you can bugger off on a train to London spread thy love around the houses of parliament with a crap speech of love of Covid 19 and depart bugger off back to Scotland infect your fellow puritans and normal scots the ones we quite like and get a £4000 pay rise and refuse to do anything about it Sturgeon!

The whole of a delivery office is a communal area with the possible exception of manager's office, and the caller's office/phg.

Nicola Sturgeon has no power to sack the MP in question but has said she should resign, the SNP whip has been withdrawn from her which means she no longer represents the party and is thus now an independent MP.

It's not a dodge it's an attempt not to get into a pointless tinfoil hat conversation about what a dead person thinks about a situation that they were never aware of.
All you can do is guess, don't pretend to know any more than that.
It's extremely disrespectful.

If mask's do work why are most of the casualties are hospital staff or patients who were released into care homes being that they would have had the PPE and why do the WHO insist on waring mask's when it is known it is a vector for the virus by mask to hand to object person transmission?

Masks don't stop you from catching it, they're to stop you spreading it if you've got covid

Well It did not work in hospitals or care home's why in all your presumption it will prevent you spreading it in the context of two in a van or a shop?
