Summary of the advice, rules and regulations regarding the current situation

[River Tyne Lass]

I am glad there is no one else on the bus I am commuting to work on .. first post has given me the giggles.  Hilariously confusing advice!  Thanks for taking the trouble to post all this.

Thanks Margaret, your summary makes it all a lot clearer. I admit I was a bit confused before reading it, but now I understand completely 

I guess you must be one of the government's advisors . . . 

That's supposed to be top secret.

Thankyou for making me giggle (especially at point 12)

 

That's all I seem to hear : Don't do this unless you can, don't go there unless you can ...

I should add that Dr said the function of the mask is to stop you touching your face with your hands which may have accidentally touched a surface or in some other way become contaminated since the last time you washed your hands with soap for twenty seconds...

I thought mask-wearing by public was to stop us breathing & coughing over folk.
"Some say" that wearing a mask may make some people touch their faces to adjust it.

 That's the one rule I've kept religiously. I've not had a tiger to tea for years.  Must be why I haven't caught it yet. The virus, not the tiger, I mean.
The burning question is, how did they find out about the tiger? Which brave soul swabbed the tiger's throat?

Some don't have to say!  Just take a look at people on TV or out and about if there are any mask wearers near you.
Mask on, pull it down at the front to talk, push it up again.
Wear it round your neck like a scarf, push it up when anyone comes near.
Pull it down by the front to answer the phone, put phone back in pocket, push mask up again.
No doubt get home, remove mask, probably wash hands (who knows what people do?), get phone out, make a few calls, cuddle the baby.

Etc, etc

My neighbour wore a mask for the first time on Friday when she went supermarket shopping.

The problem she had was her glasses steamed up and she couldn't see a blooming thing

I've resisted taking to a mask so far - I never breathe through my mouth, and feel that they're not a really effective thing, and I get the feeling that there's an over-confidence with many wearing them. I think I'll be more likely to wear gloves, as I usually do.
(If I promised neither to breathe in nor out, could I be excused masks?) .... oh, hang on a minute, there's a flaw in that.... should I also apply for a government advisor post?
