Selfish mask? --- Nation Lockdown week 1

When a mask has a valve, it can block outer air to be breathed in, but it will let air to breathed out. This design protects only the person who wears this mask, but does not protect others.  

Essential shops open --- Nation Lockdown week 1

Some stores have vowed to stay open. Sports Direct had said it will not close stores, arguing that as a retailer of cut-price sportswear it was "uniquely well placed to help keep the UK as fit and healthy as possible".
Mike Ashley, who owns Sports Direct and Evans Cycles, said his companies can provide equipment for exercising at home while gyms remain closed.
Michael Gove was forced to intervene after the retailer asked the Government for “confirmation” as to whether it should remain open or not. Mr Gove said it was not an “essential retailer”, forcing Sports Direct into a humiliating u turn.
As a bicycle shop, Evans Cycles is exempt from the shut-down.


Shops that are exempt from the Government's ban are food retailers, pharmacies, hardware stores, corner shops, petrol stations, shops in hospital, post offices, banks, newsagents, laundrettes and pet shops.
