Some people just don't think do they loads of people have been wearing masks for years .... way before covid
"People have been encouraging others to wear a face mask - but there’s also opposition to the new rules and #NoMasks and #muzzles have been trending on Twitter in the UK.
We’ve looked at misleading claims that masks might actually be dangerous to the wearer.
Memes shared on social media claim that masks might deprive you of oxygen or lead to the body taking in too much carbon dioxide. "

Probably the same ones who were against burqa and niqab.
Also Identity recognition is an issue so assume we are trying to switch over to retina recognition. The mask issue will not be an issue

I think factories/manufacturing may need to rethink practices
"A bed factory has seen eight workers test positive for coronavirus - the third in a series of outbreaks at similar sites in West Yorkshire.
Highgrove Beds in Liversedge ceased production as a safety precaution with all staff being offered tests.
The outbreak follows cases at Deep Sleep Beds in Ossett and Dura Beds in Batley over the past month.
There have also been cases of coronavirus reported at two meat factories in West Yorkshire."

Yeah it came from America some weeks ago - part of the conspiracy. BBC a bit late. But assume they added it due to govt making it mandatory

the company I work for have got in 2m social distancing, we are not reducing to 1m. Where 2m cannot be achieved mitigation is in place to prevent people working closer for too long and they wear masks. Have to say they have put a lot of work in and reports I hear is that the people working feel safe enough to do so.
They have brought in portacabins to reduce numbers in changing rooms, meeting rooms have been turned into break out rooms with their own sinks and staggered start/finish/break times. A lot of time and investment has gone into it.
They have been back on site since Easter and fingers crossed it continues but we have had no cases.
They seem to think for the site I work at they can get us all back, but I am still not sure how they can achieve that. But maybe more portacabins and utilising meeting rooms for work areas.

Just back from Tesco, one way arrow signs gone, no queuing to get in, everyone bar one person wore a mask or face covering. Apparently till operators are not required to wear face covering if behind a screen but most were. Everyone seemed more relaxed, well I was as I could go back and forth if I forgot something, shop was quiet.

our one way system has been moved for a couple of weeks, but they still stop too many people going in, be interesting to see if that has changed when I go on Friday.
Aldi have a traffic light system on the door - genius!
I did think it was odd that staff don't wear masks, esp the ones out in the aisles.

Just been down town for a little shopping. Very few people wearing masks, I didn't wear one either. Popped into Asda, no security on the door but it was quiet so probably not needed. Didn't see anybody in Asda wearing a mask, staff or customers. But everywhere I went everyone very polite and easy to maintain 2m distance.
