Just seen this photo on the bbc webpage:
She may as well not be wearing a mask, the good that's doing her!

Lucky bastard!The guy next to me punched one once, but I've never had the priviledge of having a ball hammered directly at me.
It can be arranged...

Breaking News...
Gordon Brown has ordered the issue of Face Masks to all members of the Cabinet. The wearing of these will be on a voluntary basis except for Margaret Beckett, where it will be compulsory.

Is it true they had to adapt a nosebag for her ?

They're even better when you team them with these:
The rims come in all different colours - they look like they should be in battlestar galactica or something!

As part of my job is assessing & recommending respiratory protective equipment in the workplace this has given me a good laugh.....
As we are talking about a virus and they are typically 20 to 250 nanometres in size (a nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre) no filtering type mask, even P2/P3 filter standard would do the job. An earlier comment about viral entry via eyes is also correct so you would need a full face type mask.
What you would need to stop inhaling Mr Porky Virus is a positive pressure fresh-air supplied hood or face mask as used by grit blasters or spray painters etc.- not very practical on your 06.15 to Victoria I would have thought.
On the other hand perhaps we should stop coughing over one another and practice some basic hygiene if and when this living hell overwhelms us?
