One reason Covid is here to stay

[EFLImpudence]

That article is almost exclusively about wearing a face mask to protect the wearer, while current UK advice is to wear a face covering to protect others.....

I thought that had been the subject of a U turn amended.

The masks are a Godsend, what with all the ****ing munters about, it gives the eyes a rest.

 

[Ryler]

those people who go on holiday an idiot

They are idiots.
And if they catch covid its their own fault.
Not the person sitting next to them wearing no mask.

30 years ago this lock down nonsense would never have happened.
The local unions in my area have instructed the pubs and hotels to open up as normal.
And defy the nonsense government rules.

I think it’s great that the airlines have been hit. keeps pollution down

Airlines should be in permanent lock down.
Given the state of the environment.

Yes, people who go on holiday are idiots.
Same as those who refuse to wear a mask...

"Mastrikova" is a Russian strategy of spreading confusion, doubt and mistrust by seeding false stories so that dummies fail to believe sensible sources.

Many of the stories are patently absurd, but there are still people who will believe them.

For example, Russia sees benefits in a weakened NATO arguing among itself, an isolated dUK and a smaller EU.

NATO and the EU probably see benefits in a weakened Russia, hence the relentless negativity about anything Russian.

negativity about anything Russian.

You think comments weaken the nation?

has very quickly become "get back to the office, and support the sandwich shop" and, while you're at it, "clog up the roads, pollute the air some more, spend a day of your life per week commuting, and £50 for the pleasure of doing so."
Oh, and don't forget your mask, and don't go near anyone.

Yep, in a nutshell. Back to the grindstone, flog yourself at your non-job, pay your whack in tax and buy lots more $hoite to try to justify your pitiful existence. Like a gerbil in it's wheel. How the government must despair of lazy, tight-arzzed feckers like me!

Hmm. Nothing to do with the apres ski then?

Yes, masks work, here is some older research which is very relevant today.......

It can be both. But high altitude resorts can affect people very badly. I have been quite ill at 3,000 metres. First time a local doc tested me for meningitis, but I know what it is now. I was even ill in Zermatt, which is only 1600m, it triggered multiple migraines.

I don't think I have suffered personally, although I'm not sure how high you would need to be affected. Solden and Ischgl are high altitude resorts..

Altitude sickness is a strange thing...

I have trekked to 4,500m and didn't have a problem despite not being that fit.
(well not beforehand!)
And yet seasoned athletes can get ill at much lower levels.

Acclimatisation helps, but there are no guarantees.

I had trouble when staying at Hochsolden, but nowhere near as bad. Breckenridge is the highest (and best) place that affected me worst, even the hotels at the bottom are about 3000m. The top of the hill is nearly 4000, and if you go up with a guide, they descend from the top very quickly. Jackson is about the same on the top but seems to attract tougher visitors.

dehydration is a big factor in getting symptoms from altitude, alcohol is a great way to make the body dehydrated.
Apres skiing is all about consuming large amounts of alcohol (and swapping covid with each other)
