    are wrong and you are correct? Some people still believe in seances and the healing power of crystals so I give up…
    I haven't read the links you've put in (sorry - being lazy here) but am I right in thinking wearing a mask doesn't stop you from getting Covid, but prevents your own particles from being spread to others around you (if for example you had Covid and perhaps didn't know)?

    Essentially, people who wear masks do so for the benefit of others rather than themselves. That is the main reason why I have worn mine constantly throughout, especially indoors and in large crowds where its more likely to be transferred.

    You are correct it helps reduce the spread, I think there is some evidence that they may offer some protection as well but it depends on the mask worn so I wouldnt quote that

    Thanks for your best wishes.
    I've twice been to matches just days after having been in hospital after having mini strokes, but with the risk of covid,there's a chance of bringing back home to your family or wife.
    Hope to be there for 3rd home game.

    If you’re wearing a mask and a large % are not then you’re wasting your time unless it’s the type clamped to your face and with a breathing valve.

    Wearing one whilst sat in your seat watching on Saturday will be utterly pointless.

    That’s certainly my belief. As already mentioned, we will wear masks upon turnstile entry and remove them when at our seats.
