CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

I've never had a problem with the correct use of masks, but the vast majority of people ignore the correct part!

I see disposable masks, re-used over and over again, unwashed and unsterilised, stored in a pocket next to the wearers long suffering handkerchief which is also a very rarely rejuventated item! Then the mask comes on, goes off, sits in the cars centre console, drivers side-pocket, the wearers desk or flops around on the end of a hooked little finger like a set of prayer beads or failing in it's function as a gob closing elastic chin brace!

Then of course they pull the mask down, utter some pleasantry to a cashier, and strike all the buttons on the pin pad of the EFTPOS machine because dirty cash is banned!

Just assume those strangers are wearing a virtual mobile virus garden on their face, and you'll be much more cognisant of keeping your safe distance!

Yep..the disposables are good for 20-30mins and then should be changed like medical staff do. They build up with moisture and trap more bacteria than they prevent getting through. Everyone fiddles with them as well by hand transferring more rubbish onto the mask as people keep readjusting them. You see it everywhere that people hang them in cars off the mirror or on the dashboard to get the sun and dry out but they should be replaced.
I get it though why people dont as I was in Coles and they wanted $45 for a box of 50 x disposables, thats big money for someone struggling, for something that ends up in the bin..
