I see it the opposite way of you Absolutely. It was a condition of them opening for a reason. See, I don't really differentiate between types of establishments with regards to risk: pubs I would imagine have a higher chance of airborne infection, but supermarkets perhaps higher chance of surface contact infection. If I go into the garden centre/butcher's, I wear a mask and use their sanitizer on the way in. Use my own sanitiser in the van/car on the way out. Don't go into the supermarket, because it's difficult for them to control risk. Might go out for a meal at some point, but in no great hurry.

Just saying. No great surprise is it. Other countries saw a bit of a rise as they came out of lockdown. Very much expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs are, which I guess helps level risks up should there be a flare up. Pub I went to on Saturday didn’t take any details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't want to lose business and they know the majority of people will not wear them. I went to the vets yesterday, they had just re-opened and Ted the beddy needed his annual jabs, got there and about 15 people with pets all standing about in the car park, the vets, wearing masks were coming outside and collecting the pet then returning it to the owner. The pet owners wouldn't or didn't wear a mask so were not allowed in, i had one, so went in with the dog and waited inside were there was only 2 others waiting, so it seems the majority are against them. I read a statement from the Police stating they cannot fully Police it and its goingvto be very difficult for them, and that they would like to see the full legislation on this new law. Apart from the odd twat they are being worn up here by everyone. It’s actually really noticeable when someone isn’t wearing one my missus says as they stand out. But it isn’t being enforced by the supermarkets it would appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm a cunt for not wanting to wear one, then i am a cunt 😁 I am also a cunt as I don’t want to wear one. But I am being respectful of other folk. I’m not going into big supermarkets but will pop into coop etc and wear one as it takes 5 mins which is max I’m wearing one for. Anything longer it’s a no and I will avoid the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange experience using the vets at the moment. Had to take the cat last week and then found we had to have her put to sleep. With the rules as they are we weren't allowed inside and they said they could just do it but the Mrs couldn't stand the thought of the poor little bugger being in a room of strangers when it happened. As such, they had to do it in the car park while the Mrs had her in her arms, made a shit experience all a little grimmer. Anyway, my point is the rules were nonsense in practice, in these situations. The vet felt so sorry for my Mrs she was giving her a hug. I should add, wearing a mask and going in wasn't an option there. Edited July 14, 2020 by boogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 3 minutes ago, Mr Grey said: Sorry to hear about that, seems a right faff and pretty incentive but not really the Vets fault, just the whole situation. The Vet i saw even pulled her mask down when in the surgery, probably uncomfortable wearing it all day. I got a text the day before stating the rules, so at least they gave me a heads up. Oh aye, it's no fault of the vets themselves, just the way things are. As I say, she was was more than sympathetic with our maude. I even tried to squeeze a couple of tears out myself, in the hope of a hug from her as well. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
