Why are so many people not wearing face masks?

I dont know but seeing as we are in middle of a Worldwide Global Pandemic do 600 people really need to be told to wear or not to wear a mask. You have nailed the problem firmly on the head with your question.EastTerrace said:Is there a rule about wearing face masks at non league games though?6 -
I think it isn't illegal as it is classed as outside. Watched the FA cup tie at Bishop's Stortford on BT sport on Monday and the ground looked pretty full (I suspect more than the 600 stated) and there were not many face masks or much social distancing going on. Crazy!3

Saw that too on BT, I actually had to look online as I thought they were just showing some pre Covid game. Absolutel madness.

I had the same experience in a petrol station. The guy tried arguing that there was a screen between us. A screen with a big hole in it at our face levels where I pass merchandise for him to scan. He eventually put it onME14addick said:I went into Sainsbury's in Maidstone at the weekend, where I saw an employee unloading fruit and veg onto the shelves. He had a mask round his neck, so I told him that he should be wearing it over his mouth and nose. He didn't look happy, but pulled the mask up to cover his mouth and nose.1 -
JUST MANDATE IT AS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO WEAR A MASK IN ALL ENCLOSED PUBLIC PLACES.
Football grounds included, social distancing must be a requirement if people are going to attend games.1 -
Was in Bluewater on Saturday and can only remember seeing one dickhead not wearing one. A bloke of about 25 what looked like a non league team tracksuit so unlikely to be medically exempt.
Bexleyheath today and a couple of chavy women were the only 2 I saw, one of which was pregnant.0 -
Obviously, it’s currently not a requirement to wear masks outside as chances of transmission are considerably less than indoors, IF social distancing is practised.Admittedly, I do agree that looks like it could be better adhered to at these non league games.0

I was at the Grand Prix on Sunday, everyone, without exception wore a mask. It isn't that hard. Over here people who have breathing problems seem to realise that if their condition is so bad they are unable to wear a mask, then they will be in a whole lot more trouble if they catch Covid, so they stay home.5

The cumulative effect of travelling to work on trains with so many people not wearing masks or not wearing them properly is definitely getting to me. I am sure it must be contributing to this -
'Boris Johnson will host a Covid press conference today following another round of lockdown crisis talks with the cabinet as a new 'highly contagious' coronavirus variant rips through the region.
The Prime Minister is facing calls for potential travel bans to 'cut off' London and the South East from the rest of the UK - and could announce a strengthening of Covid-19 advice as soon as this afternoon. '
With a caveat I know that some people really can't (an many who are exempt actually can wear one) just wear a feckin mask? DO they really not know/understand/care that they could be passing on the virus that not only could make someone ill but could actually kill someone? Is their need to show they aren't gong to be told what to do/show they don't believe in it really outweigh the risk to other people? Obviously it must
It really isn't that bad to put the bloody thing on, and properly!

Simple question.
If masks are so good why are the numbers as high as when people weren't wearing them?5 -
Indeed. People wear a coat to protect them from the cold, why not a mask to protect them and others from a potential serious illness.PrincessFiona said:The cumulative effect of travelling to work on trains with so many people not wearing masks or not wearing them properly is definitely getting to me.

I've stopped using buses now because so many people don't bother with a mask. The train at least has more room (off Peak)0 -
Mainly because in the late spring summer months the virus was getting blown away and now we're all indoors passing it on to each other.LenGlover said:Simple question.

More testing. I don't know how effective they are but my understanding is they make enough of a difference. If it turns out they make only a small difference I'd still rather have worn one that not. It's hardly a big askLenGlover said:Simple question.

They may make things better and certainly don't make things worse. Obvious we should all wear them.4

Kids are the main spreaders at the moment. Problem is you can't have little kids in masks it's not right.
It's the adults letting the country down in my opinion as they have the info and rules.
Until adults start getting big fines, it won't change as we are not a country used to this mask wearing.
I actually think young people are being a bit unfairly bashed about this as it's predominantly over 50s I see not wearing masks in shops, trains etc0 - Sponsored links:

It's not just wearing masks it's also making sure they are being worn properly. The quality of the mask is also an issue.3

It seems fashionable by certain people to wear them under their chin.
