I imagine seeing someone come in mangled from a smash on the motorway is a bit more horrific than watch a geriatric slip away in their sleep due to this.

Slip away in their sleep???

Are you for real.

 

[peteblue]

No they want to be able to walk around in public without wearing a mask, and not be accosted

This will be embroidered onto all their clothes and outer garments, together with an accompanying Hat......



together with this....

That's not a valid argument though. You must compare with and without in the same environment.

Why?

563 deaths excluding Scotland. 828 Tuesday last week.

The downward trend continues.

This doesnt factor in the increasing number of deaths outside of hospital.

The English death figures are truly horrific.

I know someone who has just died in a care home.

The staff had ppe they had bought themselves from Poundland.

Actual Poundland.

Let that sink in.

The fella is a rat, he always has been and his bigotry and ignorance have been on show here for years but he keeps just the right side of the line to get away with it. That doesn't change that he is a truly ugly person and just a hideously accurate representation of the right wing. Don't even engage with him would be my advice, removing truly negative influences from your life when possible can be very cathartic

Such a better and informative place to visit when you have him on ignore.

Shocking. Getting dragged into developing nations (3rd world) territory.

@Bruce Wayne is clearly leading you all down the garden path taking up his anti mask position, this stance clearly provides misdirection for his nighttime vigilante escapades and identity all the while protecting his devil may care playboy image by day.

Work it out ladz...........!

Because

Why?

In a situation where there are several variables, you can only test two of them against each other at a time.
Consider an environment with 4 identifiable variables A B X Y. To examine the effect of say B on X, you have to keep A and Y constant. Similarly effect of B on Y, then A and X must be constant.

Is it not proven that whilst masks won't 100% stop you from getting infected, they cut down the amount of infected droplets that you yourself exhale, and thus do in fact cut transmission down if everyone would wear one?

Even Witty has admitted masks help lower the chances of an infected person spreading it to someone else. Not sure why @Bruce Wayne is still in denial about masks.

Horrific! It's a number as if a couple of jumbo jets were crashing every day.

I wasn't trying to be facetious. Here are two pictures from the south bank of capital cities on Saturday

The first one, from Prague was taken after a lockdown in which people have been told they can go about their business as long as they wear a mask. The second, from London, where we're encouraged to stay at home. Which environment do you think is more likely to result in transmissions?

I expect you've lived with it a while. Good luck.

Eh?
