Mission creep slowly ramping up on double masking.

You mean wearing one mask over another??

If double masking becomes a thing, we should make some triples and quadruples - maybe just put the sides in the other layers to make it look that way. Then glare at everyone in a single or double?

Oh god just googled it, SKY, ITV the Guardian all talking about it. I can just about cope with a mask indoors if I scurry around the supermarket. Just come to the end of 50 masks which were absolute crap, gaps at the sides. Permanently steamed up glasses because wire would not hold a bend on the nose. @Worldgonecrazy yes I can see a single mask would rise a few tuts if this takes off sigh......

And we all know why dont we?! The economy is so fucked that people wont be able to spend as much so they will boost it by FORCING people to spend more on something that is MANDATORY.

Yes so im sure single maskers will get shit off the double maskers.

i would honestly rather not be here than to continue having to put up with this blatant psychological abuse.

Oh fuck that, I'll sew a fake double mask. I can barely stand the things as it is.

Double masking? Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

I’ve got to drive 100 miles as my bubble isn’t close- I’m taxed/insured/stick to speed limits etc but obviously an ANPR would bring up the registered address of the vehicle. Oh well. It’s a risk I’m willing to take.

The logic on the double masks seems to be no more than 2 is better than 1. Good to see we are following the science. Might as well stick 50 on at once and have done. Or use a space helmet.

And all I can think of is when we're were told in sex Ed not to use 2 condoms at a time because they are more likely to break from the friction.

In the US, they already talk about triple masking. It's utterly dehumanising.

I am daily humiliated by having to advertise my disabilities when I go into a shop but I would rather that than three masks.

The Govt talks about reducing obesity and Jeremy Hunt breaks arm whilst out running - what a perfect illustration of why gyms should be open www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56027141

I don't think two masks that have been floating around in the the glovebox for the last 6 months and are hastily grabbed before I enter a shop are likely to do much more than one.

What would make a difference is new (or newly washed) masks, put on and off with careful mask discipline. This is what I do when I have to go to the hospital, as that's where it might matter. I'm not doing that for the places where the masks are just health theatre though, and what's more I doubt you could write a law to make me.

@110APiccadilly I had to attend hospital yesterday. Most people, including staff, walked straight past the massive hand sanitising station. I saw very little good mask hygiene (a lot of noses on show). When I was a hospital volunteer we held hand hygiene sacrosanct. It’s easy to see why hospital is such a high risk place at the moment. Masks are giving that false security to outpatients and visitors.

Funnily enough, I've seen a few double/triple maskers at work recently. They mix in well with those who pull their masks down to talk to me! Someone asked me if I was 'terrified' being at work regularly. She was double masked. A lot younger than me aswell. I'm always surprised at fear of covid in young people.

We've had a power cut. It's back on now but at 5am when it came back DS's clock radio turned on and woke him up so he came in and woke me up to turn it off. I've been awake since.

I'm worrying about Easter holiday childcare again. I know this is stupid as it's February but I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't take another weeks holiday at easter because then I'll only have 2 weeks remaining between now and the 2 weeks I have to take next Christmas. That would be such a long time for DS to be in either school or paid care.

My mum has said my refusal of the vaccine means they can't mix with me or DS even when restrictions are lifted. It feels a lot like emotional blackmail and I feel very angry about it. I haven't spoken to her since because it got quite unpleasant. If I believed me having the vaccine would make them spend time with us I'd do it but I know there'd be another excuse when the time came. It feels like there's always an excuse. And I resent being made to feel I'm a bad parent/putting DS at risk by refusing. Sometimes I think they haven't noticed that DS is changing his affections to others who aren't always telling him to get back or move away. I've noticed. And I think that's their loss. There's unlikely to be anymore grandchildren so if they can't see him because I'm dangerous then the people who really lose out are them.

I have noticed this in my hospital visits (what with pregnancy/ childbirth and then some concerns they had about DD - so far groundless, I'm glad to say - I've been in a fair bit in the last three months or so). I do try to be scrupulous when I visit on the basis that hospitals are full of ill people who don't need to be made any iller! But I can imagine if I were working there and in every day, I might well get complacent. Infections spreading in hospitals in by no means a new thing, after all.

I’m fairly sure clinical staff are following procedures but admin and other staff? But, but masks!

It’s ridiculous that the least effective method (but the most visible) has become the main focus

Double masking Is the line for me. Just no.

I'll just cut the middle out of one and pretend. And go shopping even less than I currently do.

Is this ever going to end. It's one thing after another.

On a positive it's the last day of home school/ working from home and then I am on annual leave for a week and ds is off school. I mean we can do fuck all but it has to be better than the utter shit show that has been this week.

Got some bits of decorating to do to try and sell the house. Probably have a jaunt to the park that's a bit better and a bit further away. Might bake. Pancake day will provide someone a bit different, I suppose!

I am so tempted to make a face quintuple mask

Fake not face!

I give up. I don't know what to say about coronavirus anymore. Hopefully a politician will speak up for us all soon. Someone, somewhere in a position of power must have a heart.

Hopefully I can return to work soon. We are so skint and I want easier work with protection. There is no protection as a sahm. I hope I can take my kids on amazing adventures.

Love to you all on here. You're all wonderful and give me hope.

A few double-maskers have appeared around here. They look insane.

The other thing that’s happening is lift-shoving. It seems to have become legend in this building that there’s a ‘one person in the lift at at time’ rule. (There isn’t, it’s a totally made-up roolz.) Even if all parties are wearing masks.

Now, it seems entirely acceptable for my neighbours to physically shove me back out of the lift if I make to get in it.

Bats. Utterly bats.

Not been verified but the rumour at work was that the partners in one of the big four, who we share a building with, have been told to face the corner if any gets in the lift.

Batshit!

Have people forgotten that they actually need to breathe? I am waiting for a triple or quintuple masker to keel over from lack of oxygen and then blame it on Covid.

I reckon one of Boris’ chums has just come across a warehouse he didn’t know he had, packed to the rafters with a nice Laura Ashley ditsy print. One of SAGE just happens to be a professor of needlework and yay... another cunning plan.

If that's the case then it's lanyard time for me.

Possibility of outing myself here but I work for an academy trust and have just had an excellent speech from our chief exec as part of inset day. A lot about committing to getting children back up to where they should be (we have schools in some extremely deprived areas and have been doing a lot of work to help them). And very keen to get children back in the classroom ASAP!
