I will put one on if I sense people are uncomfortable, purely as I don’t want to make people uncomfortable
But how effective is it?

Meanwhile, a preprint tested the effectiveness of different face masks and compared this with the perceptions of protection among 710 US residents.11 A TSI 8038+machine was used to test N95, surgical, and two fabric face masks on an individual 25 times each. The researchers reported that fabric face masks “blocked between 62.6% and 87.1% of fine particles, whereas surgical masks protected against an average of 78.2% of fine particles. N95 masks blocked 99.6% of fine particles.” But they said that survey respondents tended to “underestimate the effectiveness of masks, especially fabric masks.” The results indicated that “fabric masks may be a useful tool in the battle against the covid-19 pandemic and that increasing public awareness of the effectiveness of fabric masks may help in this endeavour,” the authors concluded.
What is certain is lots of workplaces will be on tenterhooks wondering what their paymasters decide happens now...Can you imagine any other scenario in which it would be acceptable for our government to ease restrictions which save lives? Johnson admitted some people will die as a result. The arguments for all safety measures are now weakened - fire regulations, speed limits - use your common sense!
I know we have to ease restrictions but the public still need reminders and clear guidance. For example, if you haven't had double vaccination we strongly advise continued use of face covering and avoidance of crowded indoor settings.

You’ve asked once and I answered you - they moved them to 5 weeks for under 40s. I have my 2nd on 2nd August.I have asked several times - are Italy sticking to the 4 week double jab science advice
Also didn’t the Italian government decide on some green card on vaccines and now backtracking?
British Medical Association say it makes no sense to get rid on public transport, too.More effective than people tend to think, according to one study cited by the BMJ
Covid-19: Are cloth masks still effective? And other questions answered

No they haven’t backtracked - the green pass was rolled out several weeks ago and officially on 1st July.

Presumably they are hoping the school summer holidays will have a positive effect on taking cases down?Deaths will rise from current levels as they lag cases, the government must expect cases to level off and start to decline at some point soon
It’s an EU-wide scheme with most other countries only issuing it 15 days after 2 doses.So this isn’t true
Italy Planning to Change Its Travel Vaccine Certificate Requirements Amid Delta Variant
Italy is likely to alter the regulations for its health pass during the next upcoming weeks, Deputy Health Minister Perpaolo Sileri said. “It is likely that the Delta variant will force us to remodel the green pass, releasing it after the second dose of a vaccine,” Italy’s Deputy Health Minister...www.schengenvisainfo.com
I haven’t got my second jab until the end of august, so back the f*ck off!
Grendel what is your issue with Italy?
Mines July 14th , I might just throw my mask at you instead

I’m surprised you know what a Peroni is - did you look at one with envy O Drivel when you once again got the 7 litres of happy shopper cider?Shit his new chinos once after a dodgy Peroni

It's a bit of a cowardly decision to defer it to individuals and organisations really.
Is it now I point out Spanish Flu was four years...?But then also when, if ever, does it end.

Knock yourself out with some historical pandemics!

Of course. Far far more deaths too. Just think how much better they could have done with modern awareness and technology.Without vaccines I assume? (can't be bothered to read up on it)
Now, as you well know, you miss context including governance systems, communication, travel, transmission, and global situations.The whole globe locked down closed shops wore masks etc?

Anyway, have a read of various pandemics, it's all interesting stuff.
There is. I'd be happier if the BMA weren't considering it an act of gross negligence to make mask wearing on public transport voluntary however. Wearing a mask on a train isn't exactly a massive deal, really. Doesn't stop you doing much, other than flashing that sultry smile of yours at the broad sitting in the corner, crossing and uncrossing her legs like Cupid Stunt.Surely though there is a point when there is an acceptance on the fact risks are now low and therefore economic interests weigh more favourably
