To be in a shop without a face covering.

To be honest it's Ikea and not busy but we will continue to wear face coverings to protect others if we feel it necessary

So the control conspiracies can fu*k off lol

People who are looking for the UK to 'get on with it' etc, will reasonably want our infection levels falling. People know the simple things like mask wearing that they can do, so that they contribute towards the country and its citizens having that.

I'll be wearing mine, whatever the legal status, for as long as we have a major problem

Mask wearing clearly makes no difference. What's your definition of a "major problem"? 97 deaths yesterday, I wouldn't call that a major problem.

. Why would you feel it necessary unless you knew you were infected ? In which eventuality surely you would be at home.

So will we, when appropriate, in fact we did in several other shops today.

If guess the same proportion of people wearing them is the same as last week

The point is about those that say it's about control whereas now its 100% common sense.

Oh no. The face mask. Causing all manner of problems. Seriously? You act like they asked you to chop off a limb to go into Sainsburys. It’s no fucking big deal to put something over your stanky mouth when in crowded areas. And don’t say you can’t because of some bullshit asthma or anything. My mate has severe asthma and still wears one.

Although we are jabbed, we don't know if we are asymptomatic or carriers. There are some people who can't have the jabs, for medical reasons, they should still be able to do their shopping, as safely as possible and us wearing a mask, gives them some protection. Each to their own though.

I don't think it's about if they work or not now, the experts are saying it's no more than a cold or flu. We have lived with colds and flus all our lives without masks, so it must be time to start getting back to normal if only for the youngsters being able to read faces and see people acting normal.

Yes, I get that, which is why it shouldn't be mandatory anymore, but a personal choice and we should respect each others choice.

Don't really care if you wear one or not.

But calling it an inconvenience, don't get it.

Is wearing a hat an inconvenience, an affront of your hunan rights caused by an irresponsible, corrupt weather system.

How do you think we would all get on if we did have to cope with major inconveniences, not just a thin piece of paper or god forbid having to wash our dirty little mitts when they don't really look dirty and mummy hasn't forced you, even though you are 35.

Although not mandatory it's still NHS advice to wear one indoors in crowded spaces. In the far east when people have a cold they tend to wear a mask...traditionally we haven't in the West but doesn't mean that's a good thing. I believe people should just use common sense...Worth a try.

must not just pick one death number, 1,700 people die everyday. The running daily deaths are at a 5 year low, so died with or from is the question. And no-one can say if wearing a mask would change any figures, so let's not blame people for killing each other.

I'd add to your question "with or from"... Add "how"... Because having seen someone I love, with fear and pain gasping and being tortured for every breath for 3 weeks... It shouldn't just be... Yeah they were old so they don't count when they die. As I've said... Somehow it's been normalised that 199 today is acceptable.

"Mask wearing clearly makes no difference. What's your definition of a "major problem"? 97 deaths yesterday, I wouldn't call that a major problem."

I'd call it a major problem to any one of the bereaved family members left behind.

It reminds me of a story I once heard.

A young girl stands on a beach, where hundreds of starfish have been swept up by the waves and stranded there to die.

She’s throwing the starfish back in the water, one by one, so they can survive.

A grownup watches her for a minute from up on the boardwalk, and then yells down, “You can’t possibly throw all those starfish back in the water. You could stand there all night throwing starfish — it won’t matter.”

The girl looks around, throws another starfish into the water, and says, “It matters to this one.”

And that's why I will continue to wear a mask, avoid public events, and not visit public spaces where other people are present. Because it matters to that one.

I've grown quite attached to mine, wear one all day and now all night.

Even in bed.

Paul looks reasonably good looking with most of his face covered.

Secondly, it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anyone if me, you or anyone else decides to wear a mask, a hat, coloured socks or ask for casual sex on a sex site.

I always thought swingers would be open minded, accept others views, be non judgemental and accept others have pastimes that may not be acceptable with the majority of the general public.

Not someone who gets upset about wearing a thin paper mask.

But, there again, most of the outraged have never met anyone prior to lockdown and probably just scatter when meets open up again.

the fact you are still conforming to feel safe ( make others feel safe) in wearing your mask has just proved you are still lost to the fear and you have been controlled that well (for the last two years) that you are still being controlled without knowing, now this is complete control where you are opting for the fact it is your choice to now enjoy your new found comfort of safety in your ever trusted life saving mask = blind complete control! But it's all for the safety of the other people to keep them safe so it's not a problem to pretend it's for others safety rather than your own

So a mask isn't part of PPI nor have a purpose in general and those whom wear them within the hospital only wear them as a dress code to match the rest of their uniform

Dust masks were invented to protect against inhaling harmful chemicals of dust. Surgeons in operating theatre wear them because ? Know wonder we've had so many deaths because others know better one of those I know

Most major scientific studies has shown this. The effectiveness of masks is weak at best.Prolonged mask wearing can actually be harmful.

Think this thread once and for all provides enough evidence to confirm the following.

If you want medical advice speak to someone with a medical qualification, the majority of us have access to a GP.

If you need legal advice speak to someone with a legal qualification, solicitors spring to mind.

If you want to engage with other swingers, visit a swingers web site but then again maybe most of them on these sites are inexperienced or indeed, would actually make the effort to meet.

If you want to know where to buy a cabbage, swingers site is probably fine, or am I being too harsh.

I wear a mask all day long, have done for years.

Please inform me what harmful side effects I should be mindful of.

Please be aware I do change my mask around 15 to 20 times a day.

I also have found washing my hands many times a day I do need to use a moisturiser, happily loads were donated to NHS during Covid, so dry skin problems have been reduced.

Thanks for your concern for us mask wearers.

Mask wearing clearly makes no difference. What's your definition of a "major problem"? 97 deaths yesterday, I wouldn't call that a major problem.

Don’t tell them the serious road injuries stats……they’ll start wearing helmets when driving to ikea. "

Average of 5 road deaths per day, that rather puts the 97 deaths in a different league!

. Over 1,000 deaths a day on average in the U.k. with a certainty of death for all 60,000,000 of us for some reason or another. Do mask wearers get eternal life ?

The mask, bit of distance and especially washing hands is the sum of the parts.

There is no silver bullet, just tools to try to keep the spread to a minimum.

Mainly to help reduce a surge in ICU, not just for patient safety but to be able to keep staffing levels to degree that an ICU bed can operate.

Staff levels due to isolating is still very high, me being one of those staff at home with Covid.

Everyone wants definitive answers, wants to prove their statement is correct but overall most statements are just a reinforcement of folks bias.

Moving forward I wouldn't allow visitors on to a ward without a mask, apron, a thorough hand wash and gel.

If you find that violates your human rights, don't visit your relative or loved one, leave them in the care of those who will try everything to keep them safe.

Given that we’ve done far more tests than any other country per million it’s no surprise our numbers are so high compared to countries with larger populations.

Per person we’ve actually done more tests than France and the USA combined yet they’ve both got higher numbers than us. Make of that what you will.

. Nothing i have stated reflects my opinion on the merits of mask wearing. I am merely stating my view from being around central london all day that the vast majority are not interested in wearing a mask let alone bothering about how effective they may be. Maybe not what a few on here want to hear but i believe it to be so.

"Haven’t worn a stupid face nappy for a long long time

Bit different at the start of the whole shitstorm but since we’ve built up decent immunity and got the vax, there is little / no evidence to back up their effectiveness

Gone for good!!

Oh no. The face mask. Causing all manner of problems. Seriously? You act like they asked you to chop off a limb to go into Sainsburys. It’s no fucking big deal to put something over your stanky mouth when in crowded areas. And don’t say you can’t because of some bullshit asthma or anything. My mate has severe asthma and still wears one."

So you are saying covid wards are full of people that don't wear masks rather than those that do? That makes no sense seeing as wearing a mask protects others from you not the other way round so if people that don't wear masks are that much of the threat to those that do surely you would see more people that do wear masks.

"People need to think of others, some people are just plain stupid and selfish."

I agree and those that say masks aren't a problem are very privileged not to have reasons why they struggle to wear them for example glasses wearers, People who have hearing impairments, People with neurological differences ect..

There are lots of reasons why as a society we don't normally cover our faces in fact Only 2 years ago most shops and banks had signs saying please remove all hoods and helmets. I really don't understand why people a so nasty about anybody that just wants to get back to the way things used to be so yes a bit of compassion is definitely needed.

I don't think I am big at all. I just don't see the point in wearing one. The evidence of their effectiveness is rather weak. Masks only seem to make some difference if used in clinical settings. The mask would also have to be an N95 or similar. I also think about deaf people who have severely struggled since masks were introduced. Not to mention the development on very young children.

This does not mean that they were COVID deaths at all. All it means is that 97 people died on that day for any reason within 28 days of a positive COVID test. The vast majority of COVID deaths have COVID listed as a secondary cause of death. Not primary. The data is on the government websites. I know someone who committed suicide by throwing themselves off of a 15 story tower block. He was listed as a COVID death. I very much doubt COVID was responsible for his death. He tested positive around 3 weeks before he died and had no symptoms.

... unless you are one of the 97, or know one of the 97.

Interesting number, that. Same number of people who died at hillsborough, and that incident brought about inquiries, investigations, and massive changes in football, whereas your view is that 97 deaths is no big deal. Interesting

"People need to think of others, some people are just plain stupid and selfish."

When I go to my local supermarket, they have signs at the entrance asking customers to wear a mask, and their staff are l wearing masks.

I think it is perfectly reasonable and respectful for me to comply with that request, and it also helps some of the older shoppers to feel safer and more comfortable.

Given that me wearing my mask is about protecting others from me, I am perfectly happy to wear the mask so that the staff and fellow shoppers feel more comfortable.

I am flying away next weekend, and will have to wear a mask on the plane and in the airport. Fine.

And when I get to the overseas hotel, I will have to wear the mask while walking around common areas in the hotel. Fine.

I don’t see any of these mask-wearing scenarios as a major inconvenience.

"We are 5th in the World table for Covid numbers because people think they are bigger than the rest of us. As I said I see people who thought they were clever near death everyday who now think otherwise. "

Not sure I agree with the 5th in the world assessment. Uk is close to the top of the list in terms of tests per capita, and has therefore detected more cases per capita than many other countries.

If you looked at positive tests divided by number of tests (rathe then divided by population), there is no way we would be 5th.

"Anyone who believes masks can not reduce transmission must have an IQ of a foetus "

Some people choose what they want to believe based on what they want to do.

So if they don’t want to wear masks, for example, they choose to believe that masks are ineffective.

And to convince themselves that they are right, they can then Google the subject and find an expert that agrees with them. The fact that the vast majority of experts advise differently can then be conveniently ignored.

I think at that point they thought is was spread by touch, on surfaces etc so masks wouldn’t help. We now know it’s airborne.

Also they couldn’t get stock for love nor money.

The way I look at it is if it’s good enough to be worn by medical professionals - pre covid I mean, then they must provide some protection. What is the point in telling people to sneeze into their arm or cover their mouth when they sneeze and cough? Because something is better than nothing. That’s my take on it.

Exactly.

And when things improve and we don’t need to wear masks in certain places, that isn’t some sort of admission that masks were bollocks in the first place, just that the risk has reduced

It’s very simple. Rules are tightened and relaxed based on perceived risk, and that risk assessment is being tweaked constantly.

So when omicron emerged, for example, and the number of infections exploded, restrictions were tightened. As soon as the data showed that omicron was less of a killer, the process of relaxing those restrictions started. Daily infections are now a fraction of what they were in December, so less restrictions are needed.

As you know, it’s all about limiting the number of people dying and needing hospital treatment, and the situation changes slightly every day.

If you think that it’s bollocks that the rules keep changing, try looking at the big picture. We are moving back towards normality, one step at a time, making sure that each step doesn’t overload the health service

Problem is that face coverings are optional and now worn exclusively by caring compassionate people and that might be a sign of who people actually prefer to meet from a forum full of swingers.

Some people choose what they want to believe based on what they want to do.

So if they don’t want to wear masks, for example, they choose to believe that masks are ineffective.

And to convince themselves that they are right, they can then Google the subject and find an expert that agrees with them. The fact that the vast majority of experts advise differently can then be conveniently ignored.

Why when the pandemic was at its peak were we being told NOT to wear face masked and being TOLD they do nothing to stop the spread of covid ? Not only do mask wearers look like idiots they behave like them to . Keep doing as your told

I think at that point they thought is was spread by touch, on surfaces etc so masks wouldn’t help. We now know it’s airborne.

Also they couldn’t get stock for love nor money.

The way I look at it is if it’s good enough to be worn by medical professionals - pre covid I mean, then they must provide some protection. What is the point in telling people to sneeze into their arm or cover their mouth when they sneeze and cough? Because something is better than nothing. That’s my take on it.

Agee in principle but don’t you think the politics of it all is a bit to far fetched now ? Telling us one thing one day and contradicting there self the next ? Now there telling us we don’t need to isolate when we have covid ? where as that come from now all of a sudden . Sorry but it’s all to bizarre to be true , not saying covid doesn’t exist but there using it to control peoples lives . We all have our own opinions but to me I just now think what a load of Bollocks

They tell you that you do not need to isolate and you still think that they exercise control on you? You do not need to isolate. You are free to go!"

And once again, nobody is saying you "don't need to isolate" you're making that up

You jump from one subject to another. Domestically, there is no rule anymore to isolate. If you want to travel abroad, obviously the rules of the foreign country kick in. The foreign country tries to shield itself. It does not control you. You are not there in the first place.

For the past two years, they did. In some cases, they had to. Now they do not. You do not have to isolate. Mask is not compulsory. No, they do not control you anymore. But they still advise you to exercise caution and common sense.

Of course there are rules and restrictions, and they are being constantly revised to strike the right balance of keeping us safe and limiting restrictions. That’s not “controlling” us, it’s helping us.

Do you feel the same way about speed limits and drink driving limits? That we are being “controlled” and that these controls should be ignored? That anyone who adhere to speed limits and doesn’t drive when pissed is “a sheep”?

Wearing of masks kicked in quite early in the pandemic.

As for looking stupid, I would rather look stupid than be stupid

Do as your told theres a good boy

I bet in your mind that seemed funny when you typed it lol

Problem is that face coverings are optional and now worn exclusively by caring compassionate people and that might be a sign of who people actually prefer to meet from a forum full of swingers."

. Aha. So presumably you regard yourself as a caring compassionate person because you wear a facemask ? Do you make this point to people in the outside world who don’t wear them or just post sanctimoneous messages on a forum that hardly anyone reads.

You are complaining about rules / restrictions, describing it all as “control”. So it is a perfectly fair question to ask if you feel the same way about all other attempts to “control” us.

Another deflection. The question was how you feel about following other rules / laws. Do you think that anyone who follows drink/drive laws or speed limits. Are they attempts to “control” us? Or are those particular laws ok because you agree with them? Do you pick and choose which laws you commit with and then just insult anyone who flllows the other ones?

Some people choose what they want to believe based on what they want to do.

So if they don’t want to wear masks, for example, they choose to believe that masks are ineffective.

And to convince themselves that they are right, they can then Google the subject and find an expert that agrees with them. The fact that the vast majority of experts advise differently can then be conveniently ignored.

Why when the pandemic was at its peak were we being told NOT to wear face masked and being TOLD they do nothing to stop the spread of covid ? Not only do mask wearers look like idiots they behave like them to . Keep doing as your told

I think at that point they thought is was spread by touch, on surfaces etc so masks wouldn’t help. We now know it’s airborne.

Also they couldn’t get stock for love nor money.

The way I look at it is if it’s good enough to be worn by medical professionals - pre covid I mean, then they must provide some protection. What is the point in telling people to sneeze into their arm or cover their mouth when they sneeze and cough? Because something is better than nothing. That’s my take on it.

Agee in principle but don’t you think the politics of it all is a bit to far fetched now ? Telling us one thing one day and contradicting there self the next ? Now there telling us we don’t need to isolate when we have covid ? where as that come from now all of a sudden . Sorry but it’s all to bizarre to be true , not saying covid doesn’t exist but there using it to control peoples lives . We all have our own opinions but to me I just now think what a load of Bollocks

They tell you that you do not need to isolate and you still think that they exercise control on you? You do not need to isolate. You are free to go!

Are we ? Have you tried going abroad with no jabs ??

You jump from one subject to another. Domestically, there is no rule anymore to isolate. If you want to travel abroad, obviously the rules of the foreign country kick in. The foreign country tries to shield itself. It does not control you. You are not there in the first place.

So know one’s been telling you what to do for the last 2 years and knowbody is telling you you can’t go to certain places , have certain jobs if your not vaccinated? . You crack on following instructions believing knowbody is pulling your strings

Of course there are rules and restrictions, and they are being constantly revised to strike the right balance of keeping us safe and limiting restrictions. That’s not “controlling” us, it’s helping us.

Do you feel the same way about speed limits and drink driving limits? That we are being “controlled” and that these controls should be ignored? That anyone who adhere to speed limits and doesn’t drive when pissed is “a sheep”?

well so far I don’t need to be injected to drive

Another deflection. The question was how you feel about following other rules / laws. Do you think that anyone who follows drink/drive laws or speed limits. Are they attempts to “control” us? Or are those particular laws ok because you agree with them? Do you pick and choose which laws you commit with and then just insult anyone who flllows the other ones? "

it’s a totally different kettle of fish now your just being silly drinking and driving , speeding etc is OBVIOUSLY a clear danger to yourself and the lives of other people I don’t believe I’m endangering my life or anyone else’s by not wearing a piece of materials across my face or having an infection that doesn’t stop me catching covid nor passing it on . I’m relatively fit and healthy had covid and got over it my body using it’s own immune system so explain why I need a vaccine?

Despite your attempts to deflect (again), this discussion is about face masks.

If you have Covid, wearing a face mask reduces the chances of you passing it on to others. You might not experience bad symptoms, but they might. It’s pretty simple really.

Now that the social responsibility is being phased out by the government (thanks to lower cases of covid and Omicron being a less dangerous variant), kicks in the individual responsibility and consideration towards others.

Masks are not compulsory but there are still signs in supermarkets about being considerate and wear a mask. And a number of people are being considerate and wearing a mask even if they may not feel under the weather. Similarly, the cashiers at my local Aldi are wearing gloves. Possibly out of consideration for the shoppers? Some may not wear masks any longer but they are wearing gloves.

Anyway, for shoppers it is not really a big deal wearing a mask out of consideration. The situation is better but we are still not out of the woods.

"Anyone who believes masks can not reduce transmission must have an IQ of a foetus

Some people choose what they want to believe based on what they want to do.

So if they don’t want to wear masks, for example, they choose to believe that masks are ineffective.

And to convince themselves that they are right, they can then Google the subject and find an expert that agrees with them. The fact that the vast majority of experts advise differently can then be conveniently ignored.

Why when the pandemic was at its peak were we being told NOT to wear face masked and being TOLD they do nothing to stop the spread of covid ? Not only do mask wearers look like idiots they behave like them to . Keep doing as your told

I think at that point they thought is was spread by touch, on surfaces etc so masks wouldn’t help. We now know it’s airborne.

Also they couldn’t get stock for love nor money.

The way I look at it is if it’s good enough to be worn by medical professionals - pre covid I mean, then they must provide some protection. What is the point in telling people to sneeze into their arm or cover their mouth when they sneeze and cough? Because something is better than nothing. That’s my take on it.

Agee in principle but don’t you think the politics of it all is a bit to far fetched now ? Telling us one thing one day and contradicting there self the next ? Now there telling us we don’t need to isolate when we have covid ? where as that come from now all of a sudden . Sorry but it’s all to bizarre to be true , not saying covid doesn’t exist but there using it to control peoples lives . We all have our own opinions but to me I just now think what a load of Bollocks

They tell you that you do not need to isolate and you still think that they exercise control on you? You do not need to isolate. You are free to go!

Are we ? Have you tried going abroad with no jabs ??

You jump from one subject to another. Domestically, there is no rule anymore to isolate. If you want to travel abroad, obviously the rules of the foreign country kick in. The foreign country tries to shield itself. It does not control you. You are not there in the first place.

So know one’s been telling you what to do for the last 2 years and knowbody is telling you you can’t go to certain places , have certain jobs if your not vaccinated? . You crack on following instructions believing knowbody is pulling your strings

Of course there are rules and restrictions, and they are being constantly revised to strike the right balance of keeping us safe and limiting restrictions. That’s not “controlling” us, it’s helping us.

Do you feel the same way about speed limits and drink driving limits? That we are being “controlled” and that these controls should be ignored? That anyone who adhere to speed limits and doesn’t drive when pissed is “a sheep”?

well so far I don’t need to be injected to drive

Another deflection. The question was how you feel about following other rules / laws. Do you think that anyone who follows drink/drive laws or speed limits. Are they attempts to “control” us? Or are those particular laws ok because you agree with them? Do you pick and choose which laws you commit with and then just insult anyone who flllows the other ones? it’s a totally different kettle of fish now your just being silly drinking and driving , speeding etc is OBVIOUSLY a clear danger to yourself and the lives of other people I don’t believe I’m endangering my life or anyone else’s by not wearing a piece of materials across my face or having an infection that doesn’t stop me catching covid nor passing it on . I’m relatively fit and healthy had covid and got over it my body using it’s own immune system so explain why I need a vaccine?

Despite your attempts to deflect (again), this discussion is about face masks.

If you have Covid, wearing a face mask reduces the chances of you passing it on to others. You might not experience bad symptoms, but they might. It’s pretty simple really.

If I have covid I just stay at home. Works a charm at preventing the spread

Good to hear, but let me help you with the wording. When you know you have covid, you stay at home.

See the problem? If people don’t knew they have Covid, they can still spread it.

Well seen as you can get covid from touching things and people can spread it by touching things I e in shops and supermarkets etc how the fuck does a mask protect u? Or do you wear gloves as well ? pmsl "

Covid is predominantly spread through air. Hence the masks

Hand-washing and hand sanitiser helps with spreading through surface contact.

You knew this though, surely?

As for you signing off every post “pmsl”, too light went to see a doctor about that, that gets worse with age.

I don't need your help with any wording thank you very much.

Covid just as any other common cold or flu have very similar symptoms and if I feel like I have any kind of symptoms I stay at home, take medicine and get well if I can.

If I can't and I absolutely have to leave the house for any kind of emergency - I make sure I don't lick people's faces, don't visit anyone vulnerable, don't spit at people, cough and sneeze into my elbow (and not do that stupid elbow bump thing) and most definitely not touch my face every five seconds then touch everything around me.

Missus

I also have a habit of not breaking out in a song in a middle of tesco, not breathing into strangers faces and not screaming at strangers passing by.

Those things reduce the spread too

The change in wording was very important.

You said that you stay home if you have Covid. I changed that to saying they you stay home if you know you have Covid, a crucial difference unless you are testing every day.

People spreading Covid when they don’t even know they have it, is probably the biggest risk isn’t be system.

Asymptomatic people are actually only responsible for less than 1% of all spread.

People who have mild symptoms (even when they test negative or positive) are still going out about their business.

I'm not those people.

I also can't pass on a virus that I already had and didn't pass on the first time I had it.

Wearing of masks kicked in quite early in the pandemic.

As for looking stupid, I would rather look stupid than be stupid

Do as your told theres a good boy

I bet in your mind that seemed funny when you typed it lol

Problem is that face coverings are optional and now worn exclusively by caring compassionate people and that might be a sign of who people actually prefer to meet from a forum full of swingers.. Aha. So presumably you regard yourself as a caring compassionate person because you wear a facemask ? Do you make this point to people in the outside world who don’t wear them or just post sanctimoneous messages on a forum that hardly anyone reads. "

And you have the urge to reply to a post in a forum that hardly anybody reads ha ha

Yes I do think people who wear masks are on tbe whole caring and compassionate and that's actually none of your business not is it your right to object to our right of choice.

I'm also of the opinion that those who refuse to wear them because of some utter crap they read on Facebook are neither caring nor considerate. You may disagree and of course you can choose to or aspire to meet with whoever you wish.

We all have our own opinions but to me I just now think what a load of Bollocks

They tell you that you do not need to isolate and you still think that they exercise control on you? You do not need to isolate. You are free to go!

And once again, nobody is saying you "don't need to isolate" you're making that up so you don’t listen to the news then ? Ffs give me strength "

An once again you made that up, feel free to post a link or even copy and paste any official statement that says you do not need to isolate if you have Covid.

"Anyone who believes masks can not reduce transmission must have an IQ of a foetus

Some people choose what they want to believe based on what they want to do.

So if they don’t want to wear masks, for example, they choose to believe that masks are ineffective.

And to convince themselves that they are right, they can then Google the subject and find an expert that agrees with them. The fact that the vast majority of experts advise differently can then be conveniently ignored.

Why when the pandemic was at its peak were we being told NOT to wear face masked and being TOLD they do nothing to stop the spread of covid ? Not only do mask wearers look like idiots they behave like them to . Keep doing as your told

I think at that point they thought is was spread by touch, on surfaces etc so masks wouldn’t help. We now know it’s airborne.

Also they couldn’t get stock for love nor money.

The way I look at it is if it’s good enough to be worn by medical professionals - pre covid I mean, then they must provide some protection. What is the point in telling people to sneeze into their arm or cover their mouth when they sneeze and cough? Because something is better than nothing. That’s my take on it.

Agee in principle but don’t you think the politics of it all is a bit to far fetched now ? Telling us one thing one day and contradicting there self the next ? Now there telling us we don’t need to isolate when we have covid ? where as that come from now all of a sudden . Sorry but it’s all to bizarre to be true , not saying covid doesn’t exist but there using it to control peoples lives . We all have our own opinions but to me I just now think what a load of Bollocks

They tell you that you do not need to isolate and you still think that they exercise control on you? You do not need to isolate. You are free to go!

Are we ? Have you tried going abroad with no jabs ??

You jump from one subject to another. Domestically, there is no rule anymore to isolate. If you want to travel abroad, obviously the rules of the foreign country kick in. The foreign country tries to shield itself. It does not control you. You are not there in the first place.

So know one’s been telling you what to do for the last 2 years and knowbody is telling you you can’t go to certain places , have certain jobs if your not vaccinated? . You crack on following instructions believing knowbody is pulling your strings

Of course there are rules and restrictions, and they are being constantly revised to strike the right balance of keeping us safe and limiting restrictions. That’s not “controlling” us, it’s helping us.

Do you feel the same way about speed limits and drink driving limits? That we are being “controlled” and that these controls should be ignored? That anyone who adhere to speed limits and doesn’t drive when pissed is “a sheep”?

well so far I don’t need to be injected to drive

Another deflection. The question was how you feel about following other rules / laws. Do you think that anyone who follows drink/drive laws or speed limits. Are they attempts to “control” us? Or are those particular laws ok because you agree with them? Do you pick and choose which laws you commit with and then just insult anyone who flllows the other ones? it’s a totally different kettle of fish now your just being silly drinking and driving , speeding etc is OBVIOUSLY a clear danger to yourself and the lives of other people I don’t believe I’m endangering my life or anyone else’s by not wearing a piece of materials across my face or having an infection that doesn’t stop me catching covid nor passing it on . I’m relatively fit and healthy had covid and got over it my body using it’s own immune system so explain why I need a vaccine?

Despite your attempts to deflect (again), this discussion is about face masks.

If you have Covid, wearing a face mask reduces the chances of you passing it on to others. You might not experience bad symptoms, but they might. It’s pretty simple really.

If I have covid I just stay at home. Works a charm at preventing the spread

Good to hear, but let me help you with the wording. When you know you have covid, you stay at home.

See the problem? If people don’t knew they have Covid, they can still spread it.

I don't need your help with any wording thank you very much.

Covid just as any other common cold or flu have very similar symptoms and if I feel like I have any kind of symptoms I stay at home, take medicine and get well if I can.

If I can't and I absolutely have to leave the house for any kind of emergency - I make sure I don't lick people's faces, don't visit anyone vulnerable, don't spit at people, cough and sneeze into my elbow (and not do that stupid elbow bump thing) and most definitely not touch my face every five seconds then touch everything around me.

Missus

The change in wording was very important.

You said that you stay home if you have Covid. I changed that to saying they you stay home if you know you have Covid, a crucial difference unless you are testing every day.

People spreading Covid when they don’t even know they have it, is probably the biggest risk isn’t be system.

Asymptomatic people are actually only responsible for less than 1% of all spread.

People who have mild symptoms (even when they test negative or positive) are still going out about their business.

I'm not those people.

I also can't pass on a virus that I already had and didn't pass on the first time I had it.

"

Just for the sake of the argument, if you get reinfected by a different strain, you can not pass the virus?

Well seen as you can get covid from touching things and people can spread it by touching things I e in shops and supermarkets etc how the fuck does a mask protect u? Or do you wear gloves as well ? pmsl "

People can get it from touching objects that other people have sneezed or coughed over then touching their face.

Face coverings reduce the amount of shit and snot when people sneeze hence help reduce infection

For me, it's not what you think or do, I don't really care.

Wear a mask, a bobble hat, paint your face blue, run down the street with your hair on fire, don't care.

I still go out driving even though d*unks still drive, so I'll go in supermarkets even though I know some folks will go in Covid positive and not bother wearing a mask or giving me a bit of distance, I'll give them a bit of a wide berth.

It's not the comment or subject matter that is a concern, it's the venom and vitriol that's applied.

It's been a frightening and uncertain time and people tend to lash out when confronted with uncertainty and confusion.

Soon enough a new normal will appear, until then try to be kind and understand others have a different opinion and find coping with any change quite challenging.

Be happy and try to see the flip side of the coin.

"People who are looking for the UK to 'get on with it' etc, will reasonably want our infection levels falling. People know the simple things like mask wearing that they can do, so that they contribute towards the country and its citizens having that.

I'll be wearing mine, whatever the legal status, for as long as we have a major problem

Mask wearing clearly makes no difference. What's your definition of a "major problem"? 97 deaths yesterday, I wouldn't call that a major problem.

Don’t tell them the serious road injuries stats……they’ll start wearing helmets when driving to ikea.

Average of 5 road deaths per day, that rather puts the 97 deaths in a different league!. Over 1,000 deaths a day on average in the U.k. with a certainty of death for all 60,000,000 of us for some reason or another. Do mask wearers get eternal life ? "

Might as well have all 60 million drop dead today then, going to die sooner or later, so doesn't make any difference...

Personally though I'd rather do what I can to delay snuffing it myself, and to look after my friends and relatives, even though I know we're all worm feed in the long run.

Agreed. “We’re all going to die anyway” is poor logic for not taking basic precautions that can protect ourselves or others.
