I don't know why but these masks have always been popular with the oriental types, women mostly/always, in London. I mean, for as long as I can remember a day doesn't go by without seeing a masked Chinese girl. I think they are clean, health-conscious people, but there's been stuff in the tabloids recently about them and their strange culinary habits.

Have I bought one? No.

Because, allegedly, most masks are useless, you need to protect your eyes as well, how many for how long 100, 200 or more?

LOL @ Judd .. they might have something far more invasive than a virus under that lot

I noticed a couple of mask wearers in town a day ago but as for me I cannot see the point.

Re: Coronavirus Face Masks

Hi

If you do want a face mask it needs to be an FFP3 mask to be effective against the virus.

Some Screwfix branches still have them.

You will also need to protect your eyes.

Re: Coronavirus Face Masks

I just looked at screwfix ... due to unprecedented global demand they're limiting them to 5 per customer.
