Thread Name: BS: masks and armchair revolutionaries
Subject: RE: BS: masks and armchair revolutionaries
I’ve worn a mask in the few enclosed spaces I’ve frequented (Tesco, Mozza’s, the Post Office, pretty much sums it up) since the early part of March, and I will continue to do so until I’m satisfied there’s no reason to - which I don’t envisage being the situation until post-2020, if then.

I wear it not so much because I believe it affords me protection but because it might, at the very minimum I’m at no more risk wearing it than not, and because there’s a chance that, by wearing it, I’m protecting others.

I wear disposable masks once only, then I cut the ear-loops and put them in our own bin. If I wear a washable mask (we have half a dozen each), I wear it once only, and it’s then washed at 60C.
