Many thanks to all who replied to my article about mask wearing and a VERY costly mistake about being INCORRECTLY JUDGED AS " POSITIVE " after a money making " Test. " ... Since I wrote this article , I have heard of at least ................TWENTY SIX FALSE READINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE , RESULTING IN EXPENSE, AND GREAT INCONVENIENCE , AS A RESULT , SO GOD KNOWS , WITH THE MILLIONS OF TESTS TAKING PLACE, AT COLOSSAL " PROFIT , " I PAID , TO SOMEONE OR SOME ORGANISATION ( EG " £85.00 FOR APPROXIMATELY 16 SECONDS OF WORK " IS A " NICE LITTLE EARNER " . .......... WHAT IS THEN THE TRUE FIGURE ? , and I had yet another " GOVERMENT Test yesterday ( THIS TIME £55.00) , And for those who claim wearing a mask , is virtually of no " consequence " , if you have COPD, / EMPHYSEMIA , AS I DO , you will surely find trying to breath with a mask is difficult , in fact , in front of my CONSULTANT IN THORACIC DISEASES, I PUT ON A MASK , COVERING , MY MOUTH AND NOSE , AND THEN HE " MEASURED MY OXYGEN INTAKE VIA A MACHINE , IT ...................=.-................. PLUMMETED TO " DANGEROUS LEVELS " .......SO PLEASE FOLKS, - IF YOU CAN BREATH EASILY WEARING A MASK , HAVE A BIT OF SYMPATHY FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T ............................." THERE , BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD " ...... AS THEY SAY ... .THANKS ..

I do have sympathy for those who can’t wear masks but I just look at Pete who has COPD and wears a mask when we go anywhere. He’s lucky I suppose as doesn’t use oxygen so can manage for a little while and be ok. I’m proud of him. If you can’t wear any kind of face covering then you need to be extra careful.Wishing you well vittorio. Xxxx

Yes it must be Oshgosh. As I said to vittorio, I do have sympathy for those who struggle. Pete doesn’t like wearing a mask but he does it because he feels safer, xxxx

Yes it's indeed not easy to wear a mask, I do wear one but leave my nose free, as I struggle to much when have the mask on my nose, as well when I use oxy I get extremely sweaty and it's to warm. But i definitely use it full when sitting in waiting area. Enjoy your day 🌼🌼🌼

Mmm I think we have all voiced our opinion on this topic a few times.

I haven’t had to pay for any tests so cannot comment and having a lung issue would definitely not feel suitable to fly anyway ,but do get annoyed with peeps that refuse to wear masks or even try to when they are able.
