Face masks on public transport.

Boxes of 50 were £15, now £46.
Same supplier, but the cost to them has gone up.

at least its not £300 or £500 for 50 as it was in the early days

Increasing evidence that it can be spread by airborne means, droplets too fine to be stopped or diverted by a medical grade mask and which can linger in the air for minutes. However, an N95 spec respirator would stop it.

I've thinking of dusting off my old 80's NATO respirator. I'm sure i've got some bio agent cartridges for it. The more we find out about this nasty bug the more alarming it becomes.

.....but it comes out of our mouths in droplets of water which are caught by our face coverings. In the absence of face coverings, it’s not until the droplets evaporate that the virus is airborne. So my face covering (I use a buff) protects you and yours protects me. No need for medical grade protection.

even at around 50 or 60p each (Aldi & Tesco), they're extortionate.

I wish they would wear their masks on trains. Then they wouldn't yap on so much, particularly in the so-called quiet coaches.
