I have today, at Sainsbury's. I must admit it was a relief to get it off afterwards, it was like getting a fresh blast of oxygen :?

I did feel like I needed a good intake of breath, but couldn't quite get one - if that makes sense. B had no problem with it, she came too to get D's shopping, but then she's got young lungs and I have had asthma, in the past. I will only wear it in shops, unless they become compulsory.

No, Saundra, I haven't, and I probably wouldn't do so unless and until it became "socially unacceptable" not to be without one.
Some people round here are wearing masks but I wouldn't say it's the norm yet. Probably a very different matter in the cities ...
Mrs O has a scarf she can pull up if necessary - I could do the same, as I have a very long (5 foot!) black and white knitted football scarf, supporting Calne Town FC, the "Lilywhites". :lol:

I haven't, but we don't go to the shops or anywhere it might be needed.

My daughter did try on her trip to the supermarket, but she has asthma and said she couldn't breathe easily so gave up. I'm guessing it could be essential if you need to use public transport.

I was sent some fabric ones to wear when going for my treatment, and I wore one yesterday for the first trip to the hospital (from the car and into the waiting room). But then when I was brought into the treatment room, I asked did I need it and was told it was entirely up to myself. So I took it off and didn’t bother today. However, if I was in a very crowded area, I think I would. As it is, I wait in a large waiting room with three or four other people, the seats are set up with one person every four chairs and I have no interaction with others waiting.

I haven't so far but we have been told from today it's compulsory to wear one when you go into a shop.

I made a mask for Don and I with the help of a two minute YouTube video. :lol:

I'm just grateful we can go out running or walking without the need to wear one as the 2m social distancing is easy to comply to. Can't say I'd enjoy wearing one in this heat for an hour's running. :o

I'll do as I'm told and wear one to go supermarket shopping or any other store I go to.

Not yet, although I have been to a few supermarkets and felt I probably should do, not everyone observes social distancing!!

Have just seen a pic of my colleague Liz wearing the PPE that has been delivered for us starting back to work - :shock: :shock: :shock: :cry: :cry:

I wish I could work from home, or pack in altogether :cry:
