[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2285443, member: 41816"] I feel that the time to introduce [S]masks[/S] face coverings in the UK would have been at the beginning of the spread. Now? The amount of the novel coronavirus floating about in circulation is very much lower, and [S]masks[/S] face coverings are going to be much less effective - although enclosed spaces like shops and public transport will always be a higher risk. It actually seems like [S]masks[/S] face coverings have been brought in as more of a public confidence thing. Especially since the [S]masks[/S] face coverings have been introduced a short time after we were all told we could go spend spend spend. I suspect that shop purchases are not as high as hoped. If it helps the economy, and builds people's confidence, then I do not see face coverings as a bad thing. Had an interesting conversation with my chiropractor last week. She treats her patients in a room in a gym. Shared door and entrance area, private treatment room. She has been back at work (full PPE) for 2-3 weeks now, and is finding that the masks and PPE are very important in bringing customers back. At the moment her customers fall into two groups; either people who are desperate for treatment and would walk over coals - risking COVID - to see her in order to get some relief from the pain they are in, while the second group is people who will only turn up if she explains her Covid protocols and PPE situation. In her opinion, she would rather stay in business with full operating theatre garb, than go out of business by skimping on the PPE including mask/facecoverings and losing the confidence of her bread and butter customers. Ed. for clarity [/QUOTE]
