PM says whether he'll personally wear a mask will "depend on circumstances".
"Clearly there is a big difference between travelling on a crowded tube and sitting late at night in a near empty carriage on a mainline railway."
That's quite a bit for us all to individually assess.

Much clearer from Chris Whitty. He will wear mask in 3 situations:
1. Any situation indoors, crowded, or indoors in close proximity to others
2. If asked to by any authority
3. If someone else was uncomfortable, as a point of 'common courtesy'

Does not sound as if Chris Whitty will be disposing of his face mask anywhere near as quickly as the PM.
Though Boris Johnson adds, "I will wear a face mask in crowded places."

PM says he wants to treat public as responsible adults, but does anyone think this new face mask policy will be possible to follow?
At what point does an empty train become a half empty train and then a crowded train? Is it 90% occupancy? Not being a pedant, but is it workable?
