EvanB Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 while exercising Not the exception by any means: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/04/countries-wearing-face-masks-compulsory-200423094510867.html
Vetplant Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Why are we the exception that requires masks during exercise, mates in the UK, NZ say not so over there?What I am wondering, with the SA attitude of finding loopholes, maybe it was just easier to say you must have a mask on when not at your residence and not have an exception for exercising. Otherwise, we would have people out-and-about without masks and a valid excuse would be that they are busy with exercise, walking is a form of exercise. I think it would be difficult to defend the rationality of having everyone wear masks outside except people out for exercise. So just to be clear, does NZ and UK have compulsory mask wearing when in public, but exceptions for exercise? How many countries have this setup?
EvanB Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I stay in JHB, when I drive around I would say that well less than half of the folk walking around the streets have any form of mask. Different in a shop yes as it’s enforced- I was wondering if anyone knew why we have to exercise with a mask on here as opposed to many countries where it’s not required.

Or, maybe, they just didn't think it through. And thankfully some of us did, and concluded that there is no inherently higher risk in exercising without a mask, although it is infinitely more practical and comfortable.
River Rat Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 "social responsibility" - here you go again with this feigned righteousness and moral argument. And then you sit in judgement and make these hollow veiled threats about "if you do anything that affects me I'll moer you". Ho Hum. This is like groundhog day. I can try to explain the subtlety of the argument to you that is ACTUALLY been discussed, but I can't understand it for youDid he actually say that?

It sounds a lot like you have some sort of stereotyped enemy in your imagination and you're fighting him not dicussing an issue with me... All I said (and will keep saying) is that as part of a society you sometimes need to put the good of the society ahead of yourself. Thanks for the fun little "I'm sooo smart" barb at the end - pity you had to ruin it with the word "been" - I think you'll find "being" is the one you wanted. Vetplant, dsw and River Rat 3

Chris_ Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 To sum up then - Pyga and Diesel started a revolution which culminated with a glorious High Court ruling; by calling the hubs' mask-wearers knobs. A hard-earned Bells to the two of you! Wayne pudding Mol, Vetplant, Blokman and 1 other 4

A hard-earned Bells to the two of you!nice summary, but my wife calls me a knob every day too, so we might as well add GBV to the mix (she's recovering well) Edited June 4, 2020 by PygaSchmyga
sias Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) These guys complaining of not being able to breathe while riding and blah blah are all a bunch of (p)wussies! Try working underground in 33°C saturated temperatures for 3-4 hours with a wet cloth over your mouth and nose... I'll take a light buff covering my face while riding anytime, everytime, over that...
