[MntnMan62]

Yet another US non-believer dies from the coronavirus. They're dropping like flies. See? The Law of Natural Selection does work.

Thanks!! It’s been a bit of a slog

Only saw one person since Friday not wearing a mask and he stuck out a mile from everyone else. Peer pressure will sort those whom can but refuse to wear a face covering.

Yes, I hope so.

If they're going to do it, why wait 10 ten days? Surely most people have something in the house they can cover their face with right away!

Maybe not, especially if they have skin problems and limited means, but a day or two would give them time to buy a £2 pure cotton mask from the pound shops.

Because Boris is a shoot Muppet who still doesn't really believe masks help and doesn't want to upset Trump and the more confusing messages they put out then the more they can blame Joe Public for not doing as they're told when we hit new death records. If they have no strategy, they can't be blamed for having the wrong strategy.

So, I can't go into a supermarket, when it's quiet without a mask, but I can go sit in a busy hot sweaty pub without one ?

WTF.

How you gonna drink through a mask?

But like I said, keep 'em confused, keep 'em blameable.

Who said I was eating or drinking in the pub ? Might need the loo as the supermarket loo is shut. 👅

This does actually make sense, I think.

All activity brings some risk.

Risk can be reduced, but not eliminated by wearing masks.

Masks are not possible in some settings, such as pubs and restaurants, but where they are possible, and make a worthwhile risk reduction, they should be worn ie inside in close proximity to others.

Where I would take issue with this is priority.

Why have we prioritised pubs over schools? Why restaurants over gyms? etc.

If the loo is the "busy hot sweaty" bit, I'd look for somewhere else with toilets!

 

[fossyant]

None of this makes sense - when things are bad, they are just getting worse. I guess no rules over masks in gyms then.
