See highlighted You've twisted and misrepresented a whole set of positions. Prove it? Maybe you could see if you could evidence those BIG assertions you made. EG you said: 'First we didn't need masks' feel free to evidence anyone in authority said that Then you say 'you got it by touch' insinuating touch was the only way, feel free to evidence anyone said that Then you say 'then we did need masks you didnt get it by touch.' no one in authority said that. and so on You just made up a hole pile of false insinuations to portray a collectively grossly false position Why? |

As soon as masks became mandatory I noticed that most people failed to stay 2 meters apart except in queues. The masks were the focus against catching COVID and other precautions such as only touching goods that you were going to buy were not particularly adhered to . That’s because the advice to remember Hands, Face, Space was never generally compulsory and individuals chose for themselves whether to heed the advice, or not. As a family, our compliance with the advice has lessened, but we still regularly wash our hangs, avoid crowds where possible, and keep our jabs up to date. We keep masks ready for if we feel unwell and have to go out… |

I pointed out that when masks were made compulsory people tended to ignore them far more than before ..and in my experience almost immediately. What you do now or then has nothing to do with it. |

Sorry, I don't follow when you post: "I never argued that they were compulsory. I pointed out that when masks were made compulsory people tended to ignore them far more than before". The only places where I noticed mask wearing by the public was "enforced" were dentists, GP practices, and hospitals — though, strangely, people could still opt out if they claimed some mental or physical impairment. And public mask wearing was never "the focus against catching COVID". Masks were promoted as a means to help lessen the spread of the virus through breathing out infected droplets, even though the wearer may not be showing any symptoms. This was frequently misinterpreted to mean non-medical masking was to protect the wearer... |

I don’t know why you can’t follow the post , it’s quite simple . ” I never argued that they were compulsory ( your point that.. the advice to remember Hands, Face, Space was never generally compulsory ) . I pointed out thst when masks were made compulsory people tended to ignore them ( the advice to remember Hands, Face, Space) far more than before. I can’t make it any simpler and a I can’t make you any less so I’ll have to leave it to chance that this will sink in. Well the focus WAS against catching COVID. It was others catching COVID so once again I can’t help you if you can’t the point . Mask were pretty much compulsory in supermarkets too. I’m surprised that you didn’t notice tbh. |

We keep masks ready for if we feel unwell and have to go out… Entirely up to you Pat. A quick story... I never wash my hands after going for a pee, I don't piss on my fingers so I don't see the need. But in pubs I have noticed how people wash their hands, a quick rinse under cold water just to show others they have gone through the process lol. But what we have done for years is carry wipes, Dettol wipes (In Mrs R's handbag) that we use after going to the toilet in a pub or restaurant. The reason I dont swill my fingers under the tap and use wipes after leaving the toilet in a pub or restaurant is because there are far more germs and bacteria on the toilet door handle than on my dick. It's called common sense. But common sense is in very short supply, especially since the government frightened everyone to death about covid. |

This was frequently misinterpreted to mean non-medical masking was to protect the wearer... The ape on the door of ASDA found out the hard way why some people were given exemptions. After catching the pox for the second time and getting the lung congestion, atrial heart failure and TIA mini stroke as added bonuses I found that air temperature had a profound effect on lung efficiency and blood gas mix. Wearing a mask was a sure fire way to cause a temperature rise in the upper respiratory tract snd you could actually SEE the blood gas numbers drop from the ‘normal’ 97% to below 90 on one of those little gadgets they put on the finger The twat with a security armband at Cwmbran ASDA wasn’t having that and demanded I wear one of the bloody things to do my shopping. I knew what would happen of course. I made sure I was standing near the CCTV camera protecting the booze and strangely the makeup too from being pilfered when the blood gas O2 dropped to the point I collapsed. Various staff came to assist and I made sure the most senior was shown the figures on the blood gas oximeter. I then pointed out the only reason I had the mask on was his security gorilla refused to let me in without wearing one. It was noticeable he wasn’t on the door the week after, or ever again. I never had trouble anywhere else. The very nice man at whatever the equivalent of Transport for London is called round here (I can’t pronounce it) sent me a letter to show a bid or train driver which had one of those ‘exemption’ signs at the top, which I photographed and set as my screen saver. Every other jackbooted door guard just saw that and waved me through, |
