Hundreds out running after 6pm. Clearly people choose not to exercise when mask rule was in place. I get why decision was made but it was wrong and should not be repeated in future lockdowns. Thx @AnnastaciaMP @YvetteDAth @qldhealthnews
@andreasg86 @ellalouise74 @AnnastaciaMP Hey Andreas - I mention unsafe because once the mask becomes wet it is very difficult to breath through. Even on a brisk walk I can feel the heat and condensation/perspiration building up under the mask. Running amplifies this many fold to the point of dripping wet. Cheers
And yes, I’ve seen people running with masks, it can be done but, by my observation, the no.s of runners & riders out there are way down and that’s not we need at this time. Healthy people, outdoors have the best resistance to this virus @AnnastaciaMP @YvetteDAth @qldhealthnews
Here’s hoping the figures for QLD are positive on Monday. Either way, can we please review the masks while exercising rule. It really is uncomfortable and impractical in the heat. Thx @AnnastaciaMP @YvetteDAth @qldhealthnews
@AnnastaciaMP Wear a mask driving your car, wearing a mask riding your bike. This is a joke now. Give us practical rules we can believe in and we’ll do the right thing. This is going from ‘We’re in this together’ to ‘We’re all idiots’ very fast.
@copycat21c @AnnastaciaMP @YvetteDAth Sure. It’s the principle, just like driving with a mask is silly. Make good rules - people will follow them, make bad ones - people get frustrated. It’ll be a miracle if this only lasts three days. A couple more cases and we’re here for the long haul so let’s get the rules right
@Anzac05 @Jus_Looking2017@qldhealthnews And remind me why kids under 12 aren’t working wearing masks? Oh yeah, because it’s low risk, not practical and problematic. Masks are fine, let’s just be sensible about it.
@Jus_Looking2017 @briantrnn @qldhealthnews Let’s just call it “punishable by fine” then. Nonetheless, make sensible rules and Aussies will follow them.
@Jus_Looking2017 @briantrnn @qldhealthnews Mask use is fine, we can all get on with it but don’t treat us like idiots and make us wear masks running and driving our own cars. Bad rules make good people break the law.
Hi Guys - 100% support the lockdown and I’m into it. Can you please review the wearing of masks while exercising, it’s just not practical or necessary. Thanks. @AnnastaciaMP @DrCRowanMP
