Do masks work or don’t they? I don’t think a bit of cloth will make much difference but some believe they do.
I don’t believe that surgeons would have to wear them if there wasn’t some benefit but never the less;

It is 100% certain that you can’t eat or drink through a face covering, so you can’t wear one in a restaurant setting, but you can sit at a table for up to 2 hours in a busy restaurant full of people ( even if you’re 2 metres away) and expell all the air you like but you must put on a mask for the 2 minutes it takes to walk to the pisher
I’m sorry but that is just a fuckin carry on, same with the gym example
Rather than just use comon sense and exempt hospitality they carry on with this charade

Surgeons operate in an extremely sanitised environment wearing medical grade masks. There is a world of difference between that and a poorly fitting piece of cloth (or a bandana) over someones face on a train.

Exactly. Absolute theatre. Anyone who "feels safer" because the person sitting maskless 1m away from them for 2 hours wears a mask to walk to toilet is either at it or needs to give their head a wobble.

I would love to see the evidence (or lack of) for some of the nonsense in Level 0.

Why are pubs uniquely dangerous places between midnight and 1am but private homes are not? Why is it safe for ‘10 people from 4 households’ to meet in a cafe but only for ‘8 people from 4 households’ to do so in a house?

Why is social distancing required ‘between different households’ in hospitality but ‘not required’ in homes? Why is the cap on outdoor gatherings still 15? Why is the cap on sports events 2000 regardless of stadia size?

Surely no one is now following this pish?

Aye and is the whole point of masks during surgery more so you don't accidentally spit/sneeze/cough into someone's chest cavity whilst you've got them opened up and your hands and arms are slightly pre occupied ? Not the the fact it will magically catch all the germs you expel?

It's simple. 
You dont know what you don't know and there remains many unknowns about this virus and its long term effects, include those of vaccines as the experts attest to. 
So unless you are a moron willing to follow another moron that resides in Downing Street, caution is the better part of valour. 
We JuSt DoN't KnOw.

Fucking hell, I thought Rumsfeld was dead.

Unfortunately I saw moronbears post as it was quoted but I was surprised to see his new found advocacy for caution.  Pleasing to see he’s now behind myself and all the other wasters getting a few more months working from home as that would be the cautious thing to do.
 

U-turns faster than Boris.

Didn't say that. 

I still want all the wasters back at their work. They can wear masks, which every c**t will be doing after Aug9 anyway. Just like down south employer's will have to comply with H&S law in their risk assessments as the dopey c**t sitting next to you terrified you gob all over them them when you cough or sneeze. 

The problem also diminishes when the slackers all get sacked as furlough ends.

It's probably the worst trolling the thread has seen since Ad Lib a few months back.

Hardly anyone here at Easter Road is wearing their masks and the stewards aren’t bothered either. 

I was escorted to my seat at Dens and the stewards are telling people to keep their masks on. 

To be fair to the one near me, he was fairly apologetic. Obviously orders from above.

Yet you can go to the cinema and take it off when the film is on. Granted your not likely to be shouting and roaring at the cinema but it's indoors so transmission risk is markedly higher.

To be fair, anyone who quotes him and gives him the time of day is as bad as he is.

He's an honestly dreadful troll. I'm sure he thinks he's being edgy or inducing rage in other forum users but he's utterly shite at it.

The other bizarre thing is that we’re all in the same seat numbers in different rows meaning everyone (except in the back row) has someone two rows directly behind them). 

Surely we could be staggered and ditch the masks?

Have to hope that this three week minter level 0 is scotgovs last pointless "we care harder" stand before relenting to same rules as England.

Otherwise its hard to see a ditching of social distancing. Its borderline unimaginable at this point to picture Sturgeon saying we no longer require distancing by law.
