Using a hanky when sneezing and coughing is very different from strapping it permanently to your face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colds and flu can be spread without coughing- if you absolutely want to protect others from your cold/flu, you'd need to strap your hanky to your face at all times.

So don't you think people should make more of an effort to stop the spread of a virus more deadly than a cold or flu? 4 minutes ago, top4718 said: That its never happened with another virus in the history of mankind, that's good enough for me.

More of an effort than they have been doing? More of an effort than lockdowns which have destroyed many small businesses and thrown their owners onto universal credit, devastated a generations education etc, etc. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
