[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2284969, member: 365308"] For those of you wishing to wear cloth masks (fashionistas, Whale- savers) please see the link below: [URL]https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577[/URL] [B]Conclusions[/B] This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated. Again my apparently baffling logic remains that based on facts, not feelings, there is a low rate of this seasonal virus regardless of our prior interventions, in circulation and the vast majority of the population will not be clogging up hospitals or dying with it. Thus the mandate to wear masks in shops/trains is very disproportionate but also likely to be ineffective. I have to assume that the government's Good Cop Bad Cop routine with Gove and Boris over the weekend concerned the R rate where R= Return to Retail i.e. we are not doing so and it doesn't sound as if any of you lot are in a hurry to do so either. Your choice not to do so. [/QUOTE]
