THIS IS NOT HAPPENING IN SCOTLAND!!! No 75 FIRST BUS castlemilk to glasgow the lower deck was packed full, nobody was wearing a mask and people were coughing and not covering their mouths!!!! people obviously dont know how to social distance on buses, they are still not keeping 2 meters apart!!!! OK..SO NOW WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM HERE!!!!!!!!
If you travel on public transport, make sure you sit down. That's another reason to avoid peak-hour travel. Because if you have to stand, you'll most likely have to hold onto something. They do disinfect the surfaces at regular intervals, but between those regular intervals, you don't know who's touched them. I stopped coughing and sneezing into my hands during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, and to this day I still don't. But I continued to see others coughing and sneezing into their hands during that pandemic, and I'm sure there are probably many who still do despite this one. Of course, they might wash their hands, but you cannot count on others to regularly wash and sanitise their hands because some people are very bad at washing their hands even after using the toilet! So there you go. Whenever you leave your home, not only should you act like everyone else has COVID, but you should also assume that no one else washes their hands.
As I have said many times, applies to male and female individuals. Female individuals of all sorts can break the two metre social distancing rules so to me so they should be fined, on a par with the male equivalent as human beings.
I combine any face covering that I wear with a pair of safety goggles. This is because I suspect the reason for a face covering being unlikely to protect against infection if you're susceptible could be because the virus can also enter if it reaches the eyes.
@@PortlandMan Yes, that's what I said. A face covering alone isn't going to protect the wearer against infection, although it is very effective at preventing transmission to those around the wearer. However, I suspect that the reason why it doesn't protect the wearer is because SARS-CoV-2 can also enter via the eyes.
