New Covid Variant - B.1.1.529

[Vinty]

Will you be able to say the same thing, laid dying in an ICU bed, on oxygen?

Idea is minimise the risk and extend your useful life as long as possible, for the majority of the population.

That is principle, however, once legalised it will be dumnded down to those to who care, and those who don't.

as it happens I dont really go to the pub or eat in restaurants and I work currently at home or in a 2000 sq ft workshop, mostly on my own

Billy no mates then - only jesting, I do pretty much the same

Masks don't "reduce the need for hand washing" - they both would help overall.

They do as the hand problem comes about when people handle stuff an infected person has breathed on. The virus happily lives on for a while.

Still makes sense to do both but masks help all round.

Some seem to think that each of the various steps in lockdown and handling infection rates don't work at all. No idea why. They probably believe there are fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Yeah, I used run a company employing half a dozen people, but I closed that down and and am now setting up in a very cheap workshop on a farm….I enjoy doing a bit of work on the tools.

Do you know why they're promoting the wearing of a mask? Do you know why they are using LIES to justify to you how wearing a mask is helping you to not catch this virus?

They?

If masks are effective in preventing the spread of a virus, how does me not wearing a mask affect you wearing a mask?

Surely your mask is protecting you against the virus?

Deep down you must know that it isn't, yet you still cling to your belief that wearing your mask is somehow protecting you.

Do you really believe the masks are to protect the wearer? You understand nothing. I wear a mask to protect you, your wife, your children, your family, your friends and the rest of the population. Return the favour you selfish ****.

If you wear your mask to protect everyone else then you must also be aware that you are carrying & spreading this virus.

Please stay at your home in isolation. If you continue to spread your virus in public then I fear that your enforced isolation may be necessary.

I am, as you all well know, incredibly stupid.

It may take me some time to process the logic of your statement . . . . .

If you wear your mask to protect everyone else then you must also be aware that you are carrying & spreading this virus.

If you wear your mask to protect everyone else then you must also be aware that you may possibly be carrying & spreading this virus.

Anybody could be carrying the virus whether they are wearing a mask or not. The point of the masks is to lessen the chance of passing it on, you idiot.

 

[Brigade77]

I don't understand, as you all well know I am incredibly stupid.

Why don't you just test yourself regularly? That way, if/when you test positive you could isolate & you wouldn't be out & about spreading your deadly virus amongst the general population whilst wearing your ineffective mask.

Is it because your tests are so inaccurate that the result can be considered as useless as your mask? Perhaps it's because you left the house negative yet returned positive? How come, when you were clearly wearing your mask the whole time?

Again, PLEASE, if you are Cov-19 positive please stay at home & isolate yourself. I fear that we may need begin enforcing isolation to those irresponsible & selfish enough to willingly spread this virus.

 

[Brigade77]

BTW. It's OK to wear your mask in the shops tomorrow, but not down t'pub.

Shops are full of many stupid, irresponsible & selfish people happy to be out & about spreading their death, pubs are full of folk gazing in wonderment at all those daft bi_iggerz out shopping.

Nonsense.

Nobody will forbid you wearing your mask in the pub.

If masks are effective in preventing the spread of a virus, how does me not wearing a mask affect you wearing a mask?

Surely your mask is protecting you against the virus?

You do come up with some daft questions. OK, let's explain it with cars.

A seat belt will protect you in a collision. That's like your mask.
Brakes will help other cars crashing into to you. That's like other people wearing masks.

Does that help explain it?

"how does me not wearing a mask affect you wearing a mask?" - when you cough, sneeze, breathe, talk, you will be spreading the virus if you are carrying it. The main purpose of the mask is to stop people with the virus from spreading it. Unless you are testing yourself before you leave the house, you can't know if you are asymptomatic or without the virus. I doubt you are testing every morning.

Is that what you do as a non mask wearer?
