Re: Masks
We have a friend, who has a hearing impairment and wears hearing aids.
He is really struggling when he is out and about as he usually lip reads to understand people and now the masks have made that much more difficult.

Re: Masks
That's my problem also. It is a pain if I need to ask someone something white in the store and require an answer.

Re: Masks
I am sure location of the store plays a role.

You constantly reply invalidating my own experiences which are mine and you cannot say my experiences are wrong.

Re: Masks
Nobody is invalidating your experiences or has said they are wrong that I can see, but as above do just hit the report button and let the mods deal with it if so.
Thx.

Re: Masks
I can't see the reason makes sense. "It was not the intent" they said. How on earth can you announce a requirement and apply that requirement from a specific date - logically to allow people time to get/make masks - and then say you didn't intend to do it?
I won't be too critical though. The government here has handled it very well so far and even the response to that idiot doctor has been very good.
Yes.
Both stores I went to have them. One of them even taped cards to the handles to the already in store carts saying they had already been done and to remove the cards when you have finished, thus identifying carts that needed sanitising again.

All of our supermarkets have carts by the doors that have clearly been sanitized and then you return the cart to the trolley park for the assistants to sanitize again - I have been encouraged and heartened by the sense and decency of the vast majority of people over this worrisome time

Welcome to the new 'norm'.

On Monday, BC Ferries said, as of June 15 in order to travel, all passengers will be required to bring a face mask that covers their mouth and nose. The rule applies for routes longer than 30 minutes for all passengers over the age of two, including people travelling by car.

Re: Masks
How come they call them non-medical masks when medical people wear them?

Re: Masks
Well I realise that some medical staff wear some masks that are different and maybe I'm paying too much attention to those advertised.
But after spending some time checking on line, having been let down on two previous orders but finally getting a box on the third order, I have come across many ads from a wide variety of sources for non-medical or medical and they appear to be identical in design, material and price with the same claims of effectiveness.
