A visor is not a face covering

YANBU

YABU

The Covid board is that way >>>

And who made you the face covering judge?

People need to start minding their own business.

At work we're told that the visors are just to protect our own eyes, they don't protect other people in the way masks do. We wear both mask and visor

They don’t work as well. In my region (not UK) face coverings are mandatory inside and the rules (based on science and medical advice) are that visors are not sufficient.

Saying that, people are kind to each other here, so I’d assume if someone had a visor with no mask there would be a good reason for that.

YANBU. They're only any use in addition to a mask.

Perhaps your local sainsbo's is "full" of people who can't wear a close-fitting covering over their nose and mouth for whatever genuine reason, and are therefore legally exempt... but choose to wear a visor as they find it stops some of the judgemental stares, tuts and muttered comments about them being "selfish fuckers"?

At work, we are told to wear a visor rather than a mask so that our faces can be seen.

If you mean Covid precautions, then no. Not when it's something that impacts on so many other people. It's the same as drink driving.

OP - YANBU, but the How Dare People Want To Save The Long Term Economy And Lives/We Hate The Elderly and Disabled brigade will say otherwise!

Also, a visor is no good for ugly days.

Feel free to work a 9 hour shift working retail, having a quiet voice and various customers that rely on lip reading.

We're doing what suits our situation best thanks.

nope. fair enough if someone can't wear a mask but I also see a lot of people commenting they use them because they prefer them. (including my own dm who can and has worn masks)

Tbf I am exempt from wearing a face mask and got told on my local Facebook page that I should be wearing a visor instead then.

YABU (or at least wrong ). Mine covers my face.

YANBU

They were designed for us nurses to wear in addition to face masks .

They do NOT protect from Covid ... for either the person wearing it , or the person who is being given a service by said visor wearer.

I complained to my hairdresser that they were all wearing visors , and that i did not feel safe in there.

A few days later SAGE went on record to say that the visors are not adequate,.

People are seriously deluding themselves ( and being irresponsible) if they think a visor is sufficient.

They were NEVER designed to be worn on their own .

Yanbu but I think they are allowed in England?

I wear one (in school)

Totally fine as long as you social distance. I don't get within 2 metres of anyone.

Out of interest, would your employer refuse to employ women who wear the niqab?

A visor without a mask isn't a face covering in my opinion.
If you're wearing a visor, should be a mask too as face still exposed.
Still can't get worked up though if anyone does wear just a visor.
<fence sits and gets splinters>
lol

A visor is better than nothing imo

To be fair, they don't really adequately protect, but I agree it's probably better than nothing - as long as people are aware it's not proper protection and adjust to take any precautions it might necessitate. So no false sense of security.
(Still completely useless for those ugly days).
