‘Not a lot of value’: Masks to be mandatory outdoors in Sydney’s west

Western Sydney residents will be required to wear masks outdoors from Thursday, in a change to lockdown settings that epidemiologists say will likely have little impact on transmission.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the new rules were designed to ensure people were not caught out without a mask. The public health order in operation across Greater Sydney already required people to carry a mask when leaving home.“We’re seeing too much evidence of people who are not wearing masks when they need to,” the Premier said.The Premier added that mandating masks outside the home would assist police to enforce compliance.

“I would prefer a whole of Sydney mask mandate, although I believe that is also unnecessary,” he said.

marywardy Mask outdoors when socially distanced has little basis on aerosol science. It’s more behavioural psychology hypothesis that it will increase indoor mask compliance. Yet it is being marketed to public as based on transmission physics. Its effectively a white lie.

marywardy The masks outside.. facts . No transmission ever reported . Check out channel 9 news. They said it. They follow the “science” now we are told to wear out doors. Shit show

marywardy Of course there’s value. Simply speaking, whoever says there’s no value in wearing a mask has no understanding of communicable disease. It serves the mask wearer from passing there germs to others and somewhat keeps the mask wearer from getting the germs. Together it works.

marywardy What the fuck will this achieve?

marywardy It will force everyone to leave home with a mask . How unhelpful the is with looking for someone with a different view . It isn’t personal it’s a health measure

marywardy Question is, will it change behaviour ? Worth trying. Because everything else that’s on the table is worse.

marywardy Ok Mary. Stand outside for 15 minutes, calm weather, & talk with two people who may be infected. Oh, & one sneezed. What's your preference? All masked or not? Yes, masked of course, because masks reduce the chances of infection. Everywhere bc it's simpler.

marywardy I'm not doing that

marywardy someone cleaning that atm?

marywardy Of course it will have little impact, this is meant to placate the loudmouths in the media

marywardy She'll be right mode No worries mode No problems mode No sweat mode Blame shifting mode Blame transference mode Somebody else's fault mode Mild hysteria mode Panic mode Bring in the troops mode

marywardy So Disappointing

marywardy Only a couple of 1000 cases too late!! But better late than never
