I have an 8 year old and there is no way on God's earth I would force him to wear a mask, particularly as they make hardly any difference and he is at pretty much zero risk from Covid. So yes, I suspect the motives of parents forcing their kids to wear masks. If they want to virtue signal (because that's all it is) that's up to them but don't force your young kids.... Parents should be doing your best to reduce any worry their kids may have, like telling them the truth : "kids are at no risk from Covid, so just forget about it".

onewheeldave Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Chekhov said: This is one of the things that really annoys me with all this Covid Cobblers, people who are not as negatively affected by all this ludicrous nonsense (and if it was arguably nonsense before vaccines it certainly is now) telling other people they should happily accept it all or they are "selfish". I tend to find middle class people, often working from home, or retired people on index linked pensions are the ones to be most in favour of this madness, and working people *, esp working class people who have worked pretty much normally right through this who, ironically, are the ones sick to death of this suppression lunacy. No, these hypocrites should look in the mirror, it is they who are selfish telling other people to ruin their lives. I agree fully. There are a lot of selfish people on this thread [pro-suppressionists, pro compulsary masking/compulsory vaccines] and it is bizarre that they constantly default to accusing those who disagree with them of being selfish.

Annie Bynnol Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 29 minutes ago, Chekhov said: Which raises an interesting question about the Left v Right polarisation of attitudes to Covid suppression. I actually think this is such a big question it could probably do with its own thread but I'll leave that to the moderators. Please open a thread called "...Left v Right polarisation of attitudes to Covid suppression", and take the other Conspiracy Theorists with you. You could all get together and produce an "interesting essay". You could all wallow in your "...confused mixture of anti-science irrationalism and individualistic libertarianism".

Yes thanks, 2, although they're young adults now, and yeah they both choose to wear masks in shops etc. But then they care about others, they are both carers and have empathy and morals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than ignoring it and just looking away Ahh, so we're back to the old chestnut, the very basis of the social divide (over Covid) in this country. You appear to be saying "you can't be too careful". I'm saying well actually yes you can, because there is a cost (social and economic) to all these suppression measures, and that's without factoring in that they are of dubious effectiveness (particularly "nett" of the damage they cause). Question ? If you can't be too careful, why do you ever travel in a car ? Edited November 30, 2021 by Chekhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
