If I must use one, I shall make use of one of Marge's old bras, but only the left cup.

Re: Coronavirus: I trust people's sense on face masks - Gove

I agree, we should have been wearing them at the start, they're so uncomfortable , specs steam up, but if they protect us , it's worth it

Making shoppers wear masks could 'trigger abuse', warn unions

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53389212

Union Usdaw said workers should not be made to enforce the rule if it becomes law as it could make them targets.

And the Federation of Small Businesses said masks could make some "happier to shop", but others more nervous.

Waterstones boss James Daunt told the BBC's Today Programme that making people wear masks in shops seemed "a perfectly reasonable thing".

But the book chain boss also said it "would not be right" to ask staff to enforce the rule.

"There are a tiny, tiny minority of people who will be confrontational over it and it is not the position of shop workers to enter into that situation," he said.
It'll be those "morons" again .....

Re: Coronavirus: I trust people's sense on face masks - Gove

Glasses should be over the top of the mask and the nose clip needs to be moulded to the nose so it doesn't leach air upwards. You're meant to pinch the nose clip and then pull the mask downwards. Then you put the glasses on.

The ones that fold vertically are better in that respect. Moulded ones are the most difficult to use with glasses.

What we need now is mask fitters just like you have a bra fitting service in some shops. But of course you can't do it in a socially distanced way. Perhaps we will soon have our own personal robot to do all these things...
