Sainsbury’s won’t be challenging non mask wearers from entering their stores.

Sainsbury's says it won't challenge customers not wearing face masks
The supermarket has been praised for recognising some people are exempt from wearing face coverings.

And, from the link, nor will Waitrose, Lidl and Tesco.
Yup, they’re leaving it up to the police to enforce tho I doubt police will be standing guard at entrances all day.
And besides - we don’t want to see the kinds of Twitter clips like in America of anti-maskers making in-store last stands.

All the stuff about medical exemptions, has the government or any medical organisation actually come out and said what they consider to be valid conditions to be unable to wear a mask? There have been plenty of medical types on Twitter and elsewhere advising that there are no genuine respiratory conditions that prevent you from wearing a mask, so I assume the actual real conditions that should exempt you are things like autism or severe anxiety/panic attacks.

For fuck's sake! I'm supposed to be heading back into the office to work next week! If people aren't masking up on the fucking buses, then I'm not even giving it a week before asking to continue working from home. The laziness and selfishness of people pisses me the fuck off.

Surely the problem is with silk masks is that you can't really wash silk at 60 degrees which is the temp you need to wash clothes at to kill the virus?

I would say I'm potentially more at risk from the people working inside 7 hours a day with contact with hundreds of people than the people who are possibly making their only visit to an indoors public space that week.
My feeling is that the people more likely to be wearing masks are the people with limited contact with others and the people less likely to be wearing masks are those who are working outside the home and/or have taken advantage of open pubs etc so more contact with people. That would make the I protect you, you protect me masks a bit less effective. It would be good if the people who are mixing more see it as more important for them to wear masks in shops, not less. So I hope my feeling is wrong.
I'm sure most people will comply but a significant number of people are not wearing masks when I see them on the bus, where it is already mandatory.

The soap would kill the virus. or quarantining it for a few days before it's next use.

One recommendation I saw was to yell "Bioterrorist!" at anyone not wearing a mask...

Just to be clear Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks
(FRSM) are not reusable, the point of them is that they are disposable which ppe regarding infection control should be. Spraying anything into a FRSM will comprise the integrity as will taking it off, touching it, wearing it under your chin or round your neck.
So dont do as Marty suggests to these kind of masks:

You can wash them with soap at 30/40
It'd be a shit one if it was - it's open-ended each sideI'm pretty sure that's a pocket for ecstasy tablets

I popped into a little Tesco earlier, around 20 people, staff & customers, and everyone was wearing a mask, except the two on the tills, behind the screens.

Face shields are not considered to offer 'adequate protection' (whatever that means). Makes me wonder about the screens.

I guess they help if someone sneezes or coughs directly at you, but won't do much for the circulating air.

The masks are meant to be mainly protection from asymptomatic people, but I guess sneezing or coughing could come on suddenly.
If that was a big concern, then goggles would make sense (for everyone).

Went to Tesco and was pleasantly surprised to see almost 100% compliance - one lady without, but maybe she had medical reasons. Couple of people wearing on their chin and only 5 not over their nose (usually the oldies doing that I find). I had seen almost no increase in wearing this week, so hadn't expected such compliance today - but pleased there is.

I’ve rarely seen such a meal made out of nothing.

There’s an unlimited supply of these surgical masks at my work but I tend to use the same mask for 5 days or so before using a new one (saves on waste I suppose). I’m constantly moving mask from my face to under my chin - after each delivery getting into van - and notice that my stubble disrupts the fibres inside the mask which tickle my nose, hence disposing after 5 days.
Im happy enough giving a quick spray of sanitiser into the mask after a shift to keep it fresh but your point is noted.

Only one customer has refused to put on a mask at work so far.
