The Covid-19 Thread
Re: The Covid-19 Thread
It’s already compulsory in Scotland and I still see folk not bothering their arse. Even some of the staff in tesco don’t seem to bother, Sainsbury’s seem mostly compliant.

There are a lot of surgeons who wear glasses, I found some tips to stop glasses fogging: https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions- ... masks.html
The Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England published an article in 2011 that offered a simple method to prevent fogging, suggesting that, just before wearing a face mask, people wash their spectacles with soapy water, shake off the excess and then allow the lenses to air-dry.
I'm lucky in that I only need to wear mine at the computer!An easy hack is to place a folded tissue between your mouth and the mask. The tissue will absorb the warm, moist air, preventing it from reaching your glasses. Also, make sure the top of your mask is tight and the bottom looser, to help direct your exhaled breath away from your eyes.

Isn’t the point really to block spittle anyway?

Re: The Covid-19 Thread
I think spittle is considered the most dangerous emission, primarily because it can travel for longer distances and so is more likely to attach to someone else. You still ideally want to block smaller particles too.
Re: The Covid-19 Thread
Now all I can think about is how much spittle other people have probably sent my way over the years.

It's also to reduce other respiratory particulate, ie: moisture in your breath.

Seems we've made a big step towards a vaccine:

Obviously a long way to go yet, but there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

As expected, the government is pushing the blame onto the public. Northerners are irresponsible, apparently.
