No Scouse. The fitted masks are to stop the wearer being infected by a patient who is positive. They are for one-time use per patient visit. They fit tightly around the nose and mouth and to be effective we are all now required to be clean-shaven. A conventional mask will reduce transmission and might both protect the wearer a bit and lessen the chance of infecting another but wouldn’t be of great use in close proximity to an infected patient in a hospital setting.
Welcome to HMP UK everyone. I just have the feeing that this is a short term measure and as soon as the lockdown in lifted the infections will start again.
That might be the strategy, Spart. Periodic imposition and lifting of sanctions to try to control the numbers of infections over a longer period and so to try to allow the NHS to cope.
Remember football? Michael Dell Of Dell computers said to be in “advanced talks” to invest in DCFC. Can I be the first to call him “Dell boy”, at least on this site.

Strategy of 'lockdown' - isnt quarantine a better word?
This will give us more smaller spikes rather than the horrendous big massive ones that will overwhelm the country, Vidal and our wonderful NHS staff?
Go Vidal
Have we done as we did in WW2 and convert industries in to manufacturing essential equipment, e.g. ventilators, ppe for anyone meeting the public?

F1 teams have been asked to look into making ventilators. I hope I get one made by Mercedes and not Haas or Williams.
I have had my official mask fitting. You put it on and squeeze its supporting metal struts around your mouth and nose. Then you put your head in a bag for ten minutes and they spray unpleasant bitter-tasting stuff into the bag while you turn your head this way and that, recite a piece of prose and otherwise test the seal. If you can't taste the bitterness the mask is deemed to be good enough.
As a soldier I'm deemed an essential worker so at least I won't be cooped up.
Big downside though. My wife is isolating at home as are most people. She has underlying health issues though she is not thought at risk enough to be put on the most at risk list. Which means as usually I come home at weekends I will become a threat to my wife's welfare. So we have made the difficult decision to remain apart while these measures persist.
We all have to make sacrifices.
Vidal that's a slightly different to the method used by the Army to test your gas mask in the CS chamber.
They set off the CS Gas while your respirator is on. Then you wander around the chamber a bit, do a few eating and drinking drills, then remove your respirator at which point the instructor holds you in conversation til you either take a lung full of breath or asphyxiate yourself.

How do you eat or drink BEFORE you remove the respirator?
You shove it up your arris, obviously.

The world has become a slightly more aesthetically pleasing place today.
Scouse the respirator has a tube that can be fitted directly to the water bottle.
Eating is difficult as it involves pulling the responsibility away from the face far enough to shove a morsel of food in. Of course you’d have to be very hungry indeed to want to risk death from nerve agent poisoning.
Sadly for humanity Spart, after the fitting you take it off again. They are for one-time use when doing anything that might be aerosol-generating. So the only ones who will get the benefit of the covering up of a portion of my face will be the patients in question. A small ray of light for them to focus on in their present difficult circumstances. I will be sure to inform them of their good fortune.
Responsibility? Read respirator.
Let's look on the bright side, the sun has got his hat on, Vidal has his mask on and pollution levels are falling.
But not in the States where trump is talking about sending everyone back to work and just culling the oldies.
'If you can't taste the bitterness the mask is deemed to be good enough.'
As football supporters, perhaps we should all be provided with one, for when times get hard.

Luxury young man! they had done away with the eating & drinking routine in about 1974 from memory; that still left unscrewing and then refitting the canister, always a tense moment.
