I think that he will be surprised at the number of people that won't make appts. unless he has a strategy ;-). 

I wouldn't worry about a hairdresser attending at home.  As long as they hadn't shown symptoms.  They become friends don't they

IMO anyone considering a hair appointment should think again. Look what happened in Italy - all allegedly stated by an asymptomatic person. The next asymptomatuc super spreader might be your hairdresser. Even if they wear a mask (and it's unlikely to be medical grade) it will be all over their hands, their clothes and their scissors. Why on earth take the risk?

I have a shed full of    ......... anyone remember a Flit gun 

What colour will you paint your Storm Trooper outfits?

Literally - in one of those large cardboard boxes or tucked into a drawer 

We have a hardware shop 7 miles away that's been in the same family for nearly 200 years, some of the furniture goes back at least 150.  It's like stepping back in time ;-)

My sister's PPE - ordered in November - arrived last week.  1 plastic apron, 2 pairs of gloves, a mask, glasses which broke as she took them out of the box. That was 1 set for each staff member.  Tnx Matt Hancock!

Also, because she works in a private facility even though the main clients are from the NHS, she won't qualify for the ?500.00 nor testing kits that 'they' promised. Initially the Welsh Assembly said 'no' to testing but did a sharp U-turn.  Still doesn't apply to private homes though.

Has anyone bought or made a mask.  Quiet honestly I can't really be bothered but I'm beginning to feel I should wear one in the supermarket.  Would a scarf do ??

I've made one using the 'sock? technique- cheap, easy and it works.
I'm guessing a scarf is just as effective 
Wearing a covering is to protect others, not ourselves, apparently.

  I bought a couple of the basic ones and had to wear it for my hospital visits this week. Really didn't like it. It made me touch my face more because I had to adjust it but also because it made my  nose and cheek itch. Have been browsing ones online but can't tell if they are any good or would fit me well enough.

I've got a couple of those scarfs that aren't scarfs.  They are circular and pull over the head and sit on the neck.  I'll might wear those as I can pull them up over the face.

I saw a couple in the full gear in the garden centre yesterday: big goggles, a huge mask and gloves.  Probably quite hot to wear!

There was advice last week: "Take a T-shirt.  One that you won't want to wear again" .  If it wasn't so serious, that might be funny .

My OH bought some masks, ( obviously, it's a worry, having been through what he's been through) and they?re FFP2 N95. Think he paid ?39 for ten.

Most masks have a CN number which is mis-leading.  All items sold in the UK have to carry a CN number  mainly seen on soft toys.

It's to protect others, not ourselves ;-)

I've given up on the idea.  I'm stuffed up with Hayfever anyway, so when I tried my scarf thingy, I just couldn't breath.

Back to the drawing board.

That'll be staying inside then?

I shopped in M&S Food yesterday, and they were selling packs of 3 single use masks.
