I already receive the highest disability awards for my situation.
Now why am I not in the least surprised by that?

Death from any one of my medical issues is a foregone conclusion so in reality there isn't much that I could do to halt it.
May as well take up hang gliding then. I have a terminal sexually transmitted disease. It's called life.
So long and thanks for all the fish

Just noticed a large Asian extended family coming off the beach. Must of been 30 of them. Blokes in shorts & Tshirts women in black ankle length frocks complete with black headresses. Not a face mask between them & huddled together.
They have no fear of the flu or are too stupid to understand.

Sat on Skeg seafront today playing "spot the muzzle".
We reckon only about 1% of people wearing one.i:d say of that figure 90% were blacks.

 
There is no requirement to cover the face in the open so it is  a matter of personal choice.

Seeing that the safest environment is in the open air, preferably with warm weather, provided reasonable distancing is practised, why should anyone cover their face out of doors?

30 or so Asians huddled in a group is not social distancing.

This mask allergy thing is strange.  When we go into a shop, in spite of wearing the same make of mask, we find that within a few minutes my wife begins to hyperventilate and gets a bit panicky, whereas I don't notice it after a couple of minutes, in fact sometimes my wife has to tell me to take mine off when we get back to the car as I have forgotten that I have it on.  I honestly feel that I could wear mine all day.  Our daughter is like me and suffers no issues, whereas her husband (who has severe allergies), cannot wear one for more than a few minutes.

All in one room, so what about the other rooms? ;D

Just noticed a large Asian extended family coming off the beach. Must of been 30 of them

Is there any other sort? ;D

I honestly feel that I could wear mine all day.

I do wear mine all day, I'm not forking out for something & then only wear it a few minutes a day! ;D

Perhaps I should begin selling "designer face coverings" made from beautiful vintage fabric!

I think the wearing of masks will be updated soon ie more places where they must be worn.
Germany has been one of the front runners on the dealing with this virus. Kids are about to go back to schools in certain regions.
Teachers AND children will be wearing masks.

We went to the supermarket today for the first time in about five months.  I wore my cotton home made mask and was ok to start with, then I couldn't breathe and had to dash out of the store.

As I was sitting outside waiting for my husband, I saw someone come out wearing a visor so I'll try that next time.
