Post by stephen500 »

If Mail centres cannot create "social distance" between us, can they at least issue "face masks".
Some people are in high risk catergories and cannot afford to get this virus.

We would not be issuing masks as PPE against coronavirus. The World Health Organization guidance on when to use a mask says states that it is only beneficial to stop the spread of the virus for:

• People who are ill, coughing and sneezing to reduce them from spreading the virus to others.
• People who are caring for, or in close contact with someone who is infected. People who are healthy only need to wear a mask if they are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection.

Further information on the use of face masks can be found on the WHO website...

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
