People don't wear them properly. That's why. Its unbelievable the amount of people you see wearing one without covering their nose, for instance.
Meanwhile there are once fit and healthy people who have survived and are living with permanent respiratory issues due to the virus. They are the exception, but so too are people who are already ill and manage to survive it.
I don't give a crap about the government or politics, but I'm a law abiding citizen. I'll do what I feel is sensible and I agree with the notion of wearing one. If you feel so strongly about the way the country is run, why not join a party and start campaigning yourself?
Its not about you, or how sensible you will distance, or cover your mouth when you cough, its about the collective and the average Joe that can't be trusted. Those are the idiots that require such a law to be bought in in the first place. If it wasn't for them, no masks would be required. If you can't trust people not to drop their McDonald's packet on the floor after a meal, you aren't going to keep control of a virus by putting faith into average Joe.
Maybe if we lived somewhere like Japan or South Korea, but not in the UK.
Masks? Fecking masks? There were 100,000 people congregated on a seven mile stretch of beachfront in Bournemouth last Friday.
The reason for that is people do not trust the science. They don't trust SAGE, they don't trust Blow Job and his cartel of cretins.
They lost all trust once Cummings decided it was OK to drive to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight.
Trust and respect are earned not just accepted. Blow Job's eejits have now decided the COVID-19 is a "major incident" in Greater Manchester and the virus is on equal footing to an imminent terrorist attack.
If they think us northerners fall for threats and fear they had better think again. Raves are being planned to give Blow Job a massive "V" sign. Masks my arse!
''OK,get rid of them all!'' but then what will replace them?
It is still the same economic systems there ,just now in lower gear!
Plan 'A' is get rid of them all.
Plan 'B' is what???
"People don't wear them properly."
Yes, spot on anti, got it in one, people don't wear them, or use them correctly. Below is the official government advice on how they should be worn and used.
"wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser before putting a face covering on, and before and after removing it
when wearing a face covering, avoid touching your face or face covering, as you could contaminate them with germs from your hands
change your face covering if it becomes damp or if you’ve touched it
continue to wash your hands regularly
change and wash your face covering daily
if the material is washable, wash in line with manufacturer’s instructions. If it’s not washable, dispose of it carefully in your usual waste"
And it soon becomes obvious that no-one will be carrying out the correct procedures, it's virtually impossible to carry out the correct procedures and it's sheer lunacy to expect that they will, or can be, carried out by the overwhelming majority of the population, however well meaning they may be. So, as Jenny Harries, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England pointed out last week, if you can't wear one correctly it's better you don't wear one at all, or you are likely to be contributing to the spread of the disease.
Me, when I go out, I keep well clear of people in face masks, they're dangerous.

''Plan B is to carry on as normal like we did when the flu epidemic happened.''
Then I ask whats normal ?
While some people are enormously rich, a large percentage of the population is languishing in poverty. Naturally, to build up a strong society, socio-economic disparity must be completely eradicated.
