General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Mollie m you are correct when you say we never wore masks for several months at the start of the outbreak, and I’m not defending the Government, but they have never had to deal with a pandemic before, they didn’t know how how it was going to spread and what the infection rate would. be.
I think taking any measure is better than doing nothing.
I stand by my statement that people without masks should not be allowed to shop.
Before they relaxed the rules from 24th Aug, Tesco had staff at the entrance and exit doors of the store, if 2 people came out, they let 2 people in, was that an infringement of human rights? I think not, just common sense control of shopper numbers.
Just to be clear, people with exemptions due to health or medical conditions I wouldn’t have a problem with them not wearing a mask.
The masks I wear are quite substantial and not flimsy pieces of cloth which you describe.
Their main function is to stop the wearer from passing germs on to others, but they do offer some protection from others.
If I could walk round Tesco and see everybody wearing a mask, apart from exemptions, I would feel very confident shopping there.

0years, I endorse your comments, well done.
