I disagree, why wait till its over?

Its still happening, the tory death cult is still making mistakes that are costing people their lives.

Their inaction, their incompetence is killing people now, so why wait for more to die before we demand they do better?

When its all over, most people will sigh and say "phew, thank God thats over", they wont be looking for who to blame, they will just be glad its over and they get away with it, AGAIN.

-and we've probably got another peak to prepare for...

Its mind-blowing.

You can question them constantly but at the end of the day you're still following every bit of advice and the regulations they're bringing out so...

If you really thought they were doing so badly would you not just do what you perceive to be as the right thing?

And one of the key points of dealing with any second wave, or even just small localized clusters, is getting the general public to understand and buy into the idea that swift action makes a huge difference and may even make a formal lockdown unnecessary.

Interesting article on the role of copper and how it can prevent viruses from spreading (e.g., hospital doorknobs are copper). A seemingly balanced article on the use of copper masks:

Copper masks are the latest craze. Should you buy one?

Copper masks are more expensive than typical cloth ones. Are they worth the cost?

Hospital doors dont have doorknobs.

I can only assume you didn’t bother to read the articles.

Here’s a direct quote for you from the Irish HSE, whom of course you will listen to as the Irish are performing so much better in their response:



Literally nobody said anything about wearing them all day. It is not advisable to wear them for shopping at all.

And when you say edgy ideas, is that like when you told everybody the virus was being exaggerated to scare the public ?

That kind of edgy ?

Yes, you left out his last sentence:

"we do not recommend using gloves while doing your shopping or when you are out and about. If there are bugs on your gloves those bugs often end up on your hands when you take the gloves off and from there they can very easily end up in your mouth, nose and eyes....there is still a need to perform hand hygiene when the gloves come off."

So, essentially, here's what you're saying: it's no worse for you to touch food in a supermarket with bare hands than if you wore disposable gloves, took them off and binned them then washed your hands / made them hygienic without touching your face. Even though someone's bare hands are exposed when having cuts or abrasions causing skin cracking.

You're just plain wrong on this. I dont care how many times you quote doctors out of context.

We're now trailing a 20 min test to see if you have it.
Interesting development.

I thought most epidemiologists had been predicting two (or more) spikes from the outset of this. Were you operating under the belief that we'd lockdown once and that'd be that?

No, but a second spike can be mitigated in places that maintain personal hygiene vigilance and the state acts responsibly...absolutly no chance for us avoiding a massive second spike like with people denigrating the wearing of protective gear, including gloves but also flouting the need to wear face masks...oh, and the fact we have a governing class hell bent on their herd immunity blood bath strategy.

You think im following government advice? LOL

Ive done what ive wanted from day 1 mert.

No this isnt me being rock-solid, but I will do what I consider is the best thing for my family.

Most of the advice has been pretty solid, so im not suggesting I havent been doing whats "right", stay inside, observe social distancing when going out, wash your hands, stay away from my mar cos shes vulnerable, all that jazz.

All im saying is that I was calling for the lockdown 2 or 3 weeks before it happened, so maybe people should start following my ADVICE!

How many pairs of gloves and masks have you got mate?
