they do more to contain and eradicate a virus than a mask will. For instance they would tell us who the carriers are without symptoms, all these mask wearers are they wearing the same mask? or changing them after each use? 

 

 

 

There's no way of proving that and we're not doing testing/contract tracing properly, meaning use of a mask is even more imperative.

 

There is an irrepressible momentum growing towards compulsory mask use.  Get a mask.

But face masks are a must hmmmmm 

Yes, they are. Face masks are a must, contact tracing is a must, isolation is a must and testing is a must.  They all are, that's the whole point. 

 

Picture the following hypothetical scenario.  You are ordered to go into a locked room with one other person in it.  You are told that this person has tested positive and is currently highly infectious.  You are given the following choices (1) neither of you wears a mask, or (2) you both wear a mask. Which do you choose?  Number 2, obviously.  All you are then doing is extending that principle to the whole population.

Boris Johnson still showing symptoms and may need to stay in self-isolation

The prime minister is still suffering from mild Covid-19 symptoms, meaning he may not be able to leave self-isolation as intended on Friday, Downing Street has said.

 

The prime minister’s official spokesman said Johnson is still symptomatic, six days after he was diagnosed with the illness.

If he still has a temperature on Friday, he will not be able to leave self-isolation as planned. The spokesman said:

The guidelines say that if you still have a high temperature, for example, you should keep self-isolating until your temperature returns to normal.

The guidance is that you stay at home for seven days or for longer if [symptoms] persist.

Don't get it, if UK has over 4,000 daily new cases now and under 10,000 daily tests/with less than 8,000 people tested, it means that they are only testing hospitalized people with clear symptoms, not even their closest contacts.  Even Italy tested 3 or 4 times the confirmed cases at the height of the epidemic. Germany is probably at more than 10 times now, even at 6,000 new cases on average.
 

Talk about flying blind.

Then I'd want a N95 and all the PPE not a friggin surgical mask.

I'd want people tested more than a mass roll out of masks to go shopping in! you know so the carriers can be isolated and locked down and not spread the virus. Anyway leave you to it. 

 

 

 

Okay the choice is you both get an N95 mask or neither of you do. Which do you choose? Are you capable of answering the question without waffling?

 

I want people tested, traced and isolated too. But I also want them to wear a mask.  It's really not much to ask.

They stopped community testing weeks ago as part of their original discredited strategy. PHE want all testing to be centrally controlled and ideally done through their new lab in Milton Keynes which isn't up and running. There are dozens of labs around the UK which could be doing testing but Public Health England is bureaucratic and very centrally controlled. They've only managed to test 2,000 out of 500,000 front line NHS staff so far but hey ho let's get this testing done just as PHE want even it if takes several months to get it right..... 

 

Add to that because we headed off in the direction of herd immunity we didn't order the reagents needed for testing until it was too late and we're now at the back of the queue.

Fucking Hell, the elimination of the weak and needy is well underway. Toby Young isnt the only cunt around at the moment. Shameful.

So concerned about social distancing she’s almost snogging him, and fabulously mental to boot. Love the nonplussed look on his face when she says “when you turn that on it’s going to kill everyone.”

I'd have preferred if about two thirds of the way through that video he pushed her into the street and she got wiped out by a combine harvester. Fucking arrogant condescending stupid bitch
