It's a great way to disguise if you're a celebrity. It seems the only people here that are wearing masks are doing so to protect themselves forgetting that unless your eyes are covered as well there's little point to the mask. The only point is, is protect others.

I only wear a mask if I'm in the supermarket but if I'm outside I don't wear a mask and until
I'm told that I have to wear a mask when outdoors I won't be just yet.
Whilst I fully support and understand the need for indoor spaces or using them when on public transport I can't stand walking outside in open space wearing a mask they are so unbearable.

Why do these people feel it's their place to start lecturing the nation on medical matters? You know, from the vantage point of their 80 room mansion leading to a private beach?
They won't be socially distancing in a Tesco queue any time soon.

@HeIenaDove

Ive seen the celebrities doing the #wearthedamnmask meme

I am setting them a challenge. Come the next heatwave come and stand in our local branch of Boots for a few hours with one on.

What a weird comment. Why would you be standing in Boots for a few hours anyway?!

He's 100% correct. Wear the damn mask! Stop with the excuses and complaining.

I wont but the staff have to. You remember them dont you? They are some of the key workers y"all been clapping for.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. You really wouldnt like the advice i got from a very helpful Boots pharmacist today.

Speaking of advice i posted on another thread last night and got some great help and advice from @Hearhoovesthinkzebras who is a RGN.

She was only one of TWO people who took me seriously on this board , the other poster is someone who has had exactly the same issue as me, Hooves used her expertise and medical knowledge to inform me about a product called hibiscrub. As well as advising me to speak to a GP or pharmacist the former would be like climbing a mountain as im with Virgin Care So i spoke to the pharmacist and purchased some. Along with some Simple rich moisturiser because hibiscrub can make your face dry. Id never heard of the product until last night. Which rather begs the question. Why arent the Government putting out statements advising about mask wearing for people with pre existing skin condtions. Instead of relying on the peer policing and stasi like bullying which @blanche85 demonstrates so beautifully.........oh wait they are Tory.

What a poor reflection of this board................that only two people took me seriously.

This will enable me to go to a medical setting if i need to , whether a hospital or a doctors appointment.

I will NOT be doing that just to go to the high street i will #stayhome

ineedaholidaynow · 02/07/2020 23:43

That's good news @HelenaDove

HeIenaDove · 03/07/2020 00:01
