I actually find the alt right types (the actual target of the joke) who have politicised the poppy and are planning to protest against wearing masks crass and insulting so I suppose we're even.

I suppose the main concern this Winter is going to be differentiating between who has flu, covid or the common cold .

The humour is intended to be derived from the likelihood that the kind of person who would lambast a stranger for not wearing a poppy is the same kind of person as would make a point of refusing to wear a mask. Whilst there is no doubt some irony in that, it's not a comment on ex-service personnel or the poppy cause.

The poppy has, sadly, been hijacked by these roasters and turned into something different in the eyes of many to the genuine, proper thing that it was meant to represent, that it once did represent - although something that it clearly still does represent to you and many others.
The people who have done this will inevitably be the same people who will be seeking to do the same with facemasks.
Your enemies here are the Tommy Robinsons more than those who have taken a resultant distaste to the symbol.Last edited by Smartie; 14-07-2020 at 11:58 PM.

The buses going past my house don't seem to contain many mask-wearers. Folk seem to be behaving in shops though.

Where are we with cancer screening? Hopefully getting back up towards normal service?

This will be fun, I thought I'd be clever and get to the barber at 7.10am thinking I'd get in early, there were 5 people outside and 2 inside, looks like my mop is staying a bit longer

Anyone who had a cervical screening appointment before the lockdown or was due to make an appointment could make an appointment from 29th June and letters were going out as of 13th July.

On my first bus since early March (cut it too fine to walk to work).
The bus driver isn’t wearing a mask.
Surely of all people he should be?
So far every passenger has had one on.

Were the London bus drivers who died not behind screens?

I actually think they should wear them, and hope they are given the option for their own personal safety if they are not confident the screen provides enough protection.

We all know that wearing a mask can be uncomfortable, restrict breathing a bit, steam up specs, etc. I'd rather keep professional drivers as comfortable and as unrestricted as possible so they can concentrate on the road. They're fine behind their perspex.

They come into contact with lots of people so their chances of encountering an infected individual will be higher than average.
I guess I’m getting a bit neurotic. I’d vowed not to go on public transport for a while and so it was a bit alarming when the first person I encountered was a driver not wearing a mask.
FWIW the bus was very quiet, considering it was a number 22 at 8:30am in a restricted service going from Leith up into town - certainly compared to “normal”.

My concern is a few months ago we were advised that masks did nothing. I found that advice ridiculous as it seemed common sense that a face covering could at least reduce the risk of passing on the virus.
Now there is growing noises on the virus potentially being airborne? Do we wait for confirmation or just reduce our risks ourselves.
I'm not going anywhere near a plane until I know a lot more.
