I’m going to be brutally blunt about this.
THIS IS NOT ‘The Flu’, ‘only a cold’, or even, ‘pneumonia’.
Unless you have a valid medical reason not to, please, of your own free will, get into the habit of wearing a face mask or face covering when you go into shops, public transport, and wherever else the Government, or premises advise…

If you don’t, you might lose your free will and HAVE to wear a mask, plus, have an air tube shoved down your throat into your lungs, plus, need a team of fellow humans to care for you while you are in a coma…

Treat it as cosplay. My partner has an evil clown mask and I’ve got a snarling cat. Great fun!

Everyone should read that ‘What it’s really like’ post. It scared me silly. I’m glad I read it earlier, so I could make sure I didn’t ‘go mad’ in our strange garble policy world.

Thank you for this message. It can’t be reiterated enough. Please wear a mask. As a RN at a hospital in Miami Dade I know this is a monster disease. It’s not a joke… yesterday a 9 year old girl died of Covid… don’t buy that children are safe from this illness. We have to mitigate or the virus will win.

I’m in that group of compromised folks who need to wear a mask on the rare outing to a doctor’s office. I never go out without it. I certainly wish others would as well. Thanks for carrying the message, Chris.

if you go on a job site and the foreman hands you a hardhat, you put it on, or you don’t go on the site.

A mask is better than a tube down the throat…and coma.

I read an article in The Lancet this morning. The conclusion was that, contrary to what has been widely said, WEARING A MASK DOES HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.
Look at the countries where they have controled the spread. They are ones which instigated mask wearing quickly. Like Japan. The countries where the spread is out of control are those where people talk about their ‘freedom’ like the US and Brazil, where it’s being largely ignored.
I saw the article you are sharing a couple of weeks ago and shared it on Facebook.
Please don’t ignore it. Don’t think it won’t happen to you. It could very easily. Read the article and take note of what it says.
This is a horrible disease. It kills in a terrible way. (You drown in your own fluids.) if you recover, it can leave you with debilitating tiredness for months, and as well as lungs, it can affect other organs, such as kidneys, heart and even brain.
WEAR A MASK.

Yes please do and wear it on your face not on your arm. To be effective the mask is supposed to cover your nose and mouth. Believe it or not you can both hear and speak while wearing a mask.
