Re: Tuesday 14th July 2020
If shops aren't safe without a mask why is it now permitted to sit in a pub or restaurant without one?
Re: Tuesday 14th July 2020
We also have the prospect of schools going back in September without face masks or social distancing. Extreme caution for some, very little for others.
Some say any measures we take are worthwhile, but that's not much comfort to teachers & parents who are being asked to take more risks. Did I say asked? Forced on pain of sanctions. At least pubs & restaurants are supposed to have screens which may help.
It all seems very haphazard & token gestures though. No app, a barely functioning track & trace. If social distancing falls by the wayside too, masks will soon be all we have. So they better be effective, I guess.

I recommend anybody brought up and threatened with trouble about attendance in the Autumn just produces this from the Attorney General - if the government's chief law officer says it, it must be reasonable advice to follow.Willow904 wrote:We also have the prospect of schools going back in September without face masks or social distancing.
