One thing which still has not been observed, or at least I didn't see it reported, is significant incidence of second infection in general population. With all those people that tested positive all over Western and Central Europe in March and April you would expect many to get it again in the current huge second wave, if there is no significant immunity after 3 months.

Six out of 37 million so far, isn't it?

Do we really need to go through this again?

 

All evidence that masks work is based on lab tests, controlled environments, clinical grade masks, people being trained to done and doff, being used for the correct amount of time etc. Just watch how people use masks now, stuffed in pockets, left on dashboard, left on public tables, used to clean glasses (in the House of Commons), worn day in day out... lycra snoods, diamante fabric masks, it's just a big pacifier. 

 

Also contrary to what someone said earlier, I think if someone is wearing a masks they often behave as though that somehow means social distancing is not necessary.

 

The Dutch government largely agree with this but are asking us to wear them anyway, mainly to stop the arguing.

Disagree - pretty much the opposite in fact.

Seeing someone out and about now without a mask, first reaction - what a scruff.

Second reaction, stay as far away from scruff as possible.

But with a mask? It's still better to be keeping distance. The same distance as a non mask wearer really.

Portugal gone full in on masks - mandatory for anyone outside over 10 years old - fine up to 500 euro for any scruffs.

Yes, give or take 5,999,994.

You mean 1 in 6 gets it again? Where was that reported? I have not heard of any cases locally or in the wider region. What is the point of surveys then, this would prove there is no immunity whatsoever and probably no working vaccine for years.

That's what the rule was in Spain when I was there. Obviously that's why their covid situation is so good right now.

Yeah people visiting on holiday from other infected countries really hit them hard. Unsurprisingly. But, you know, motherfuckers gotta tan.

I don't suppose evidence for this claim will be forthcoming will it, thought not.

No. I mean six people. Not six million, but six people, have been confirmed as having had it twice.
