Genuine question here, but why is this so inadequate? Not being snarky, just confused, as I thought visors were an accepted form of protection. Just thinking of my husband who is a shop worker!!
There is a large gap between the visor and the "open air", so virus can pass easily. A visor is only of use, if worn with a mask as well.
If the person wearing it is socially distancing, it would offer some protection from larger droplets if they were having a 1-2m apart conversation and that person coughed or sneezed.
No, but if you are dealing with the public at close quarters [ hairdressers, beauticians, some shop workers ], then a visor should not be worn without a mask. This published work, but no one seems to be paying attention to it.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

That picture appears to be of someone socialising, not at close quarters with a customer.

People can't go round in full PPE!
I think if you are practicing social distancing but want additional protection it’s a lot easier to wear than the face covering. I was the only person at work wearing it, it helped when I had to speak to people indoors. Voice is a lot more muffled with a face covering and I found I had to lean in closer to be heard or listen especially in a noisier space and I wasn’t comfortable doing that. Also it’s other people coming closer but when they see me in a visor they keep their distance from me, it just reminds them I think.
Hoping that and regular hand cleaning helps. Someone at work is currently waiting for test results.
I had to go to the hospital this week for a routine check. The nurse wore a mask but I could not follow what she said as I am deaf.She very quickly popped out and got a visor so I could see what she was saying! I wore a mask and at no time did I feel unprotected. I have also seen some elderly people with just visors and no masks as they are easier to use when you have a combination of glasses,hearing aids and arthritic fingers. The general public wearing masks is a tricky one as you are not in a closed,sterile,clinical situation so it is bound to be a bit ad hoc.
