HeliX Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I think we'd benefit from a few more pages of people arguing whether mask uptake in shops is 50% or 90%. Especially when both can be true at the time the guesses are taken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there are few "facts" to be had atm. Which naturally leads to lots of (probably misinformed) speculation... Watching that nice Andrew Marr it seems we won't get any useful data for about two weeks. Wait and see mode... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Onchan Coop…all wearing. Onchan Shoprite 95% wearing about 12 noon. If the retail trade are worried they should be proactive and enforce mask wearing this would encourage customers to spend time in the shops not just straight in and out. It is within the firms rights to refuse entry to anyone they do not have to give a reason. There are very few people who cannot wear masks a member of my family suffers from asthma really badly and they have to wear a mask because of their occupation. There are nurses who have to wear masks that have conditions affecting their breathing. A lot of posers who do not want to wear masks take advantage of this fallacy. Ask a doctor I did and she said very few of her patients would have difficulty breathing wearing a mask. It should be mandatory in shops as it is in the UK. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
