Public transport and Coronavirus

[MrSwerve]

Took a train on Saturday into England for the first time since all of this Coronavirus stuff started...I was quite shocked at how little people were wearing masks, not just on the platforms but especially on the train itself. What I was more surprised with was that staff working on the train did not enforce it at all. Walking past passengers without masks and not saying anything. Does anyone care anymore? Are people fed up?

Heathrow yesterday - majority of people wearing masks but it's clearly not enforced. Mandatory onboard the plane with people reminded to wear them should they inadvertently remove them. Very well organised by BA.

Was up Morriston hospital on Friday, virtually nobody wearing masks in the main building, that includes doctors, nurses and porters as well as the general public, most in A&E masked up though.

I noticed that passengers on a couple of buses I saw yesterday were all masked up, but the drivers weren’t which I thought was mental given the number of people they are interacting with. Local hospital all the staff masked up. I am not so worried about the shops, people being out and about, it’s the pubs that worry me.

Stay out of them then.

I don't blame train staff for not enforcing it, it's not really their job.

I use the train regularly, but haven't since March at all and won't be for a while yet but to be fair many of the reasons behind me using them have disappeared (football, gigs etc).

I’m flying from Heathrow Friday morning. How long did it take to go through check in, customs etc. Flying BA also
I’m flying from terminal 5.

Less than ten minutes however I was hand luggage only and had the boarding pass on my phone. The time taken was spent collecting the paperwork associated with travel to Italy and the security check. It certainly wasn't busy as was the case last week and two weeks prior to that. Plenty of staff available and multiple check in desks open.

A nice beer garden is your friend.

Some do some don't. There has been a lack of leadership and guidance at that hospital

Stems from a lack of leadership from both our governments.

This is five minutes walk for me. Old colliers pub overlooking the Dee. Organised and safe ordering at the bar and huge beer garden at side. Been waiting six months to have a beer with my 18yo daughter. Finally did this with our dogs Saturday. Screens and masks at the bar. Sanitiser and sign in on entry. Responsible. This is what we all have to be.

Not too dissimilar to my local in terms of the protocol. They don’t push the numbers beyond a safe capacity and are readily turning people away. The standard of customer care has been consistent throughout.
