Availability is not a problem you just make your own.General concensus is that they help in preventing you from infecting others but less effective in stopping you from getting infected.
I wear one in the train to and from work and when shopping but not in the street. When out walking, Mrs Nobby and I choose a route where we can get much more than the 2m away from people and regularly cross the road to avoid other walkers.
I suppose the best situation would be where everyone wore a mask whenever in public but I'm not sure availability would allow that. I'm sure one of the provisions of restrictions being lifted would be compulsory wearing of masks (public gatherings/public transport etc).
Funny how we all thought the Chinese were a little odd for regularly wearing them around London etc, could be the norm for some time to come.
I think it's about time our marketing team produced a Gills one. I'd buy one.
Hertha Berlin already do one, typical German efficiency.I think it's about time our marketing team produced a Gills one. I'd buy one.
I hope you let them thaw out a bit before use.I’ve started using crumpets.

Originally they were only going to be required in shops or on public transport, so they are going even further.Just read that, as part of their lifting of restrictions, Germany have stated that masks MUST be worn in public as well as still following social distancing protocols.
While the public is generally supportive of the lockdown everyone is champing at the bit for relaxations. It's a natural question to ask. What Starmer is asking for is a conditional programme but I guess that would depend on testing far more people etc etc.This was always going to be a danger as most of us know which is why it always riles me when, during the daily No10 briefings, the first question out of the journalist's mouths is always "when can we see a start to the lifting of restrictions? ". Can you imagine if the PM gave in and lifted them only to suffer another wave?
