Would you wear a mask at home if made mandatory?

THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU COVER YOUR FACE IN YOUR OWN HOUSE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE THROUGH WALLS. For crying out loud

Treesofwood · 10/10/2020 18:53

@juniperandrage. It happened.

Treesofwood · 10/10/2020 18:54

They can't see through walls, but they can see through cameras. And you have one pointed at your face right now.

itwaseverthus · 10/10/2020 18:55

I won't wear a mask, full stop. And those who are wearing them must surely now realise this complience has signaled that you will put up with any amount of loss of liberty.

MartiniDry · 10/10/2020 18:55

Not in a million years.

Juniperandrage · 10/10/2020 18:55

No I don't. this computer doesn't have a webcam.

Treesofwood · 10/10/2020 18:56
Here's the clip anyway. Make sure you don't use your phone.

Itwaseverthus Unless people truly think they are protecting people. In which case they would do it at home.

Well this is also ridiculous, I wear a mask indoors in public spaces, that doesn't mean I will put up with any old shit they try and throw at me

yawnsvillex · 10/10/2020 18:59

On another note ....

Since everyone has starting wearing masks (badly or not at all) infections have gone up 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh what bollocks who is going to know if you wear a mask or not in your own home, nobody would know same as they wouldn't know if you'd put your kecks or thinking cap on
I spose if someone wears a gimp mask it wouldn't make any difference though!

autumnboys · 10/10/2020 19:05

No. And I am happy to wear one and did before it was mandatory. Only exception would be if Dh/DC were ill with it - our plan is/was to quarantine sick people in the master bedroom/en-suite and mask to go in to them.

Quaagars · 10/10/2020 19:27

I follow the guidelines, but that is batshit.
Anyway, how exactly do you expect that to be enforced?!
Random spot checks to make sure everyone in the house is wearing them including teens upstairs on the Xbox?
Er, yeah, no.

Quaagars · 10/10/2020 19:28

They can't see through walls, but they can see through cameras. And you have one pointed at your face right now

Only if you have a webcam.

rumandbiscuits · 10/10/2020 19:41

No way!

Quite
PurpleDaisies · 10/10/2020 20:02

No.

Treesofwood · 10/10/2020 20:12

@juniperandrage What did you think of the video?

madcatladyforever · 10/10/2020 20:13

Absurd post from someone who resents wearing a mask. Grow up.

Juniperandrage · 10/10/2020 20:15

I think he messed up his words. I don't think its some great conspiracy

PicsInRed · 10/10/2020 20:17

@wanderings

Is this thread a government-planted one, trying to normalise the idea?

Step away from these Orwellian ideas, people! Do not encourage them. The status quo of being brainwashed by Saint Boris and his merry men is bad enough.

Exactly.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 10/10/2020 20:22

Having read the Germ Defence website I'm not sure it's that absurd.

@ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords

Is there some sort of competition for who can come up with the most ridiculous coronavirus related thread?
There surely must be, because this is insane.

Of course not. Of course not because no-one is suggesting it, not even our so called leaders. Of course not because it is, like any rule relating to what I do or don't do behind my own closed doors, unenforceable. Of course not because a mask is not going to help avoid transmission of covid-19 between people who are sharing beds, bodily fluids, meals cooked by one another etc etc etc.

It is insane to suggest it. You are coming across as if you cannot WAIT for the next rule or restriction to be announced, like you are actually somehow perversely enjoying it. Like somehow other people's protests are bringing you some kind of pleasure? It's quite odd.
