We can oft times learn from history if we are objective:
5 lessons on social distancing from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic
One big lesson: You can’t give up early on social distancing.www.vox.com
If people are coughing in your workplace I would absolutely wear a mask, you need to protect yourself. [...]
I agree, for full protection you need a full face mask and gloves and lots more in your pocket because will be changing them throughout the day, I've got some goggles coming from Amazon for when's have to get on public transport!Wearing a mask can help stop the spread, but it does not protect you. Because the pathogen can enter the body through your eyes. No kidding. Walking around additionally with diving or ski goggles would help.
So, if I've followed the thread correctly, you'll be on public transport soon wearing a vacuum bag and swimming goggles?I agree, for full protection you need a full face mask and gloves and lots more in your pocket because will be changing them throughout the day, I've got some goggles coming from Amazon for when's have to get on public transport!
Also as it has already been said you will also need to go through a stringent decontamination process when you get home!
No.So, if I've followed the thread correctly, you'll be on public transport soon wearing a vacuum bag and swimming goggles?
I'm glad I'm wrong!
I would look like a propper who's in front wouldn't II'm glad I'm wrong!

In the age of selfie-sticks and co. you will probably be an exception, but that is the only right attitude.
As for the decontamination process, I do change my clothes and put them on the balcony.
I wonder if I should wear a mask, I work in Asda and today there's people walking around coughing. I'm extremely worried because my partner works in a care home, I might ask the manager for advice because I really don't want to pass it onto her and then she goes to work and potentially infects a care home with around 50-60 vulnerable people. Surely this lockdown is to prevent links to the vulnerable and I'm a link to 50-60 elderly people and I'm working in a high risk job. I feel sick with worry atm
Sorry to hear you are on oxygen 247' that must be quite unnerving to be in such a high risk bracket, 3 months is a long time but once it is all over think of the years you could be spending with your wife. Stay safe! P.Wear one, always err on the cautious side, it will defo do no harm and will at least ease your conscience, I am in the very high risk factor being on oxygen 24/7, I am waiting on masks from ebsy...and I will be wearing them. My " instructions" are not to go outside for 3 months...only my garden, but I cannot do that, my wife does not drive so I will drive her and maybe go into a shop masked up... I think 3 months is pushing anyones limit.
