If I hear the words 'Hazmat suit' to describe a Tyvek boiler suit once more, I shall be forced to write a strongly worded letter to my local newspaper!

If I see anyone else wearing a mask more suited to sanding a plank of wood than stopping a virus

Can you add in a line about people wearing face masks more suited to sanding a plank of wood than stopping a virus.

Yes, but if you're talking about the masks the population wear, they are as a courtesy to others, not to prevent becoming infected. Stops you touching your nose / mouth and therefore putting the virus on door handles and so on.

Common misconception

That was mostly in Japan when they had colds, they're selling and wearing masks in an attempt to avoid infection now in China, somebody will get rich though

Which just means lots of people want to buy masks. Not why they want to buy masks....

Just a coincidence that there's a virus killing people in China and sales of masks increase considerably then
If I showed you a piece of black card you'd argue it was dark grey :D

Only sometimes :)

Seems perfectly sensible that people who typically behave in a way to limit infection to other people would, when they are aware they may be infectious, would buy masks.....

But to you, clearly it's corrugated, not plain card ;)

This is me at my mate's house, his Gran in the background, she was a medium, the worst one ever. We were waiting for out taxi to come and heard a honk outside, she said 'your taxi's here' It wasn't - some random car. That's my mate's Tele too, I have no memory of it.

You don't think people are scared of catching a virus that could possibly kill them and are clutching at straws to prevent it.
