We are being "encouraged" to wear a mask

Quoted from fishboyUTM

Fine, I won't as unless you have a N95 mask, in fact several of them then the fabric ones people wear are as much use as a chocolate fireguard. If people want to wear their comfort blanket then fine, but not for me.

It's not to proetect you as much as protect somebody else if you have it but as yet do not show symptoms.  Of course, nothing is 100% but it's to minimize the spread.  

Quoted from Morris Minor

Might as well stick a panty liner on your face, masks do not work. True!

If the cap fits.....

Buy a Town mask and help the club at the same time.  Everyone's a winner.

Vaccinations are not infallible, no vaccines are but they do reduce the risk of being hospitalised and dying not totally eliminate it. It is everybody's personal choice if they wear a mask or not and that is basically what the club said, they need to be seen to be encouraging it and that's what they have done. As for another lockdown, we can't keep on locking down every so often forever, eventually we need to learn to live with it and after Boris Johnson dubbed this unlocking as irreversible then there is a real risk that the public won't pay attention to newly imposed restrictions which will make them less effective. We simply can't live a life full of Lockdowns every so often.

Why is everyone obsessed with lockdowns?

They’ve hardly been super effective…just keep everything open and crack on.

If folk wanna wear a mask who gives a excrement? Same for those of us who don’t, crack on and see you all at Bromley…

Talking of masks, there was a report that a man Wearing a male private Turpin mask was spotted driving away from BP in a Mercedes car with over 2 million pounds stuffed in the boot some time in May.

I'll get me coat  

I’ll wear a mask and see how it goes moving forward

I was in non-league grounds accepting fans last season and they were as safe as you wanted them to be. You can't stop people crowding together and making noise but those that wanted to keep their distance could also keep their distance.

At the full time whistle, if you want to avoid people, just hang back for 5 minutes.

I wonder if the club have thought about providing an area of unreserved seating for those who still wish to keep their distance.

IMO we should still be wearing masks, indoors at least.

However, if most people are not going to wear a mask there is little point in actually wearing one. As some people have pointed out most mask are not very effective at protecting the wearer. However, masks do help as stopping the spread from you to others. The range at which droplets, which could potentially contain the virus, can carry is vastly reduce by wearing a mask. Mask are also more effective at that indoors. The risk of spread outdoors is much reduced.

I disagree with dropping all the protective measure, I don't think wearing a mask in enclosed environments was that much of a hardship and think we could have kept them, while we kept an eye on the figures.
