customers must wearEvery shop I have been in, big supermarket or small local shop has a screen in place at the counter. Does it mean face masks are not mandatory in these shops?
It's not clear from the journal. Maybe it's a punctuation thing.
Well aren't you the ray of sunshine!If anybody feels the wearing of a face mask to be uncomfortable, they sure could be more uncomfortable wearing a respirator mask later.

Don't be asking questions. I've done my research and according to Twitter replies, Ireland has the highest proportion of Epidemiologist Travel Experts in the world, if not the universe. If there are questions to be asked, they will ask them, then answer them, then send a mob to your house if you disagree with them.Just because I ask a question, does not mean I am looking for a loophole.
You're right, my views have changed along with other changes that have happened. When the pandemic started in Ireland we were advised that wearing of face masks was not necessary because of the restrictions that were in place. The R number has risen.I see your views have changed Leper. This is what you said on another thread. Why the change in thinking?
"In Hong Kong, Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and most other cities in that part of the world people have been wearing face masks for years. You see they have been living with Smog continuously.
. . . . . and to answer your question I won't be wearing a face mask or plastic gloves mainly because (i) they are almost ineffective and (ii) people working in health care (not just in hospitals) need such protection and I won't contribute to any scarcity"
Physical Distancing
Interesting piece about physical distancing on RTÉ’s 9pm news last night. Some lab demonstrating the passage of respiratory droplets using a high speed camera. When the subject was breathing normally(through the nose with mouth closed), droplets came out of the nose at a speed and trajectory...askaboutmoney.com

There were extreme shortages of masks in the beginning and mixed signals about their effectiveness.If everybody had worn face masks from the beginning maybe we might have saved a few lives. Pity you and others were so determined not to in the beginning. To state that the wearing of face masks in Asia was down to "smog", beggars belief.
1. For years before Covid-19 cities like Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai were blighted with smog. Many of the inhabitants wore face masks then. I'm sorry you didn't know this. You'd even notice many Asian people in Ireland wearing face masks back then too.If everybody had worn face masks from the beginning maybe we might have saved a few lives. Pity you and others were so determined not to in the beginning. To state that the wearing of face masks in Asia was down to "smog", beggars belief.
Apart from PPE, is there any chance Blessed Martin could appoint a Minister for Sensible Heads, as they seem to be in short supply. Dunnes stores Rathdowney Co Laois this afternoon, no staff member wearing masks, not one single uniformed person whether behind plastic shields or in free circulation re-stocking shelves or standing around in groups of three or four chatting and blocking aisles wore masks; most of the customers not bothered with either masks or hand-sanitisation. I asked a staff member standing inside the exit/entrance what the story was and he launched into a story about his asthma and masks and awaiting legal guidance from those above. God help us.
