All government's were using crooks and chancers to try and meet demand, the only difference is that our government were already friends with them. The reusable ones are made in sweat shops around the world - they'll be making pants and socks now for Primark et al. Masks work. Sneeze in one if you aren't sure.

So how long do you suppose those that are making the money out of it are going to extend covid for to get the most personal profit out of it?

I hope with every fibre of my being that there are no more lockdowns but my gut tells me there are more to come. What are your thoughts? Am I just being a pessimist? My thoughts are that the lockdown should not have been lifted until the vaccination roll out was complete. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of lockdowns was to stop strain on the NHS, if the vaccine works then the NHS wont be put at a strain. If they put lockdowns in place for this reason, see my last post for what will happen. Watch any documentary on Spanish flu (ironically the first thing I mentioned in Feb last year) When a new strain more deadly and more infectious mutation more than likely happens, after everyone thinks it is over, we'll be back at square one. And the same thing will happens: the news will be full of , why didn't you do this, or that earlier. 8 hours ago, Baron99 said: Well just back from The Moor. Debenham's fire sale, the store is packed. I'm sure someone, somewhere was monitoring customers, counting us in & out but I couldn't see anyone visible? The Moor looks like a very busy Saturday in mid summer, although the majority are wearing face coverings but the Govt's request to continue social distancing appears to have been forgotten. hence why face masks should be compulsory , or at the very least 'heavily' advised to wear, outside, when in town / city centres It's so so blindingly obvious, that I still can't comprehend that this still hasn't sunk in (people or governments) Countries where people wear/wore facemasks, have fared better. (basically all of Asia, AUS, NZ and any places that experienced SARS) 7 hours ago, RJRB said: Malin Bridge Inn looked busy this morning with a queue at the door and a full beer garden. Its hard to drink beer with a face mask on. It's not hard. Just do what anyone with a brain does. Put mask over face when talking. Though to be honest it's not masks that put me off pubs now. It's everyone no adhering to the bloody obvious. Even in the pharmacy last week, 2 people in front of me, neither wearing a mask. It's not the staff's fault, and I don't expect them or me to intervene (like all the forum ideologists will post, did you report them?) If someone can't respect a simple medical setting, wearing a mask, then they will have no 2nd question about not knocking me out, if I try an intervene. 5 hours ago, ab6262 said: nurses and doctors in a close environment to patients with covid, the air is not changed it hangs about in hospitals and is concentrated, as for whitty et al of course they do they want us to believe it does something, comfort blanket nothing more and if it makes you feel safer then fine. So how do you explain so many countries where people follow either rules / or brain, and they are dealing with it ok? - I've seen all the comments on , why pay a private company to run track n trace... can any of these posters suggest an alternative?

(basically all of Asia, AUS, NZ and any places that experienced SARS).... Sorry but I have to disagree on that. Facemasks are really not necessary when outside, in towns or city centres as social distancing works well. In enclosed spaces such as transport and shops etc then it is a good idea. It's a bit like the no smoking regulations, outside no problem, inside its a nono. The main reasons Asia has fared better is because of its past history in dealing with potential infection spread. The majority of the pandemic type infections over the past 50 years or so have originated from those very countries so they are better geared up for dealing with them. When it come to China for instance, masks may have helped simply because of the high population densities in their cities. London is about the only example of a UK city where facemasks may have helped reduce the spread and it has almost the same population density as Wuhan.

There are plenty of developers in government. You talk as if it's something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
