There seems to be a deliberate ignorance regarding mask-wearing in some quarters, I just don't understand it.
No person or institution of authority has said they are a silver bullet for this, but the benefits are clear when all people use them in an enclosed setting.
My mask protects you, your mask protects me, at least to the maximum extent available and given adherance to other measures, when possible.
There is, again in some quarters, just a blatant civic refusal to engage with this, in the interests of everybody.

How long after Cameron tasked Lammy into racism, 4 years and hospitals still cannot even get suitable PPE.
SAGE's integrity was doubtful from the start when they allowed Cummings and his mate sit in. And no doubt shout and intimidate them with their herd immunity experiment, with the biggest proponent being the scientific 'expert' Vallance and the other 'expert' Whitty agreeing. The egotistic Ferguson, UK government internationally promoted Ferguson, broke rank with his 'forecast' for herd immunity, and paid the price later on. It is only now that the SAGE lot are breaking rank, as they sense they are being fitted up as the fall guys for the fatal incompetence of this government and their talking heads sidekick 'experts' dumb and dumber, Valance and Whitty.

What do expect we have had round 10 years of vilifying anyone that covers their face, Liberal democracy innit.
Particular Jack Straw who'll be crapping himself if everyone was wearing face masks. He just doesn't agree with covering your face up.

White middle aged men tell women of certain ethnic and religious background what to wear, put it in the letter box, oh the sweet irony of be careful what you wish for.

This is what I call 'the nostalgia file'.Learning from the best.
That position was quickly superseded when the facts gre too large to ignore and this was no longer another SARS / Avian Flue scare. That's just common sense.
Me, 2 weeks before your murderous government decided to lockdown:
Cancelling this season's Premier League
Shut it down. What a 'kin nonsense this league is. And the people in charge of this decision - PL chiefs and government - need putting in prison.
You're welcome.

Chemicals manufacturers BASF and Bayer have been given enormous payouts of Covid-19 support cash from the British government just weeks after announcing plans to distribute billions to shareholders in dividends.
The world’s largest chemicals company BASF, which makes agricultural, industrial and automotive products at its eight UK plants, has received £1 billion in support funding — by far the biggest payout so far agreed under the UK scheme.
The news comes just weeks before BASF shareholders will vote on a proposal for the company distribute to more than three times that amount to them in dividends, the chemicals giant confirmed to Unearthed.
Meanwhile Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018 and is one of the industry’s biggest players in its own right, was handed £600 million – the same amount given to troubled airlines Ryanair and easyJet to much fanfare.
The Bayer bailout, disclosed by Bank of England this afternoon in its latest update on its COVID corporate financing facility, happened just weeks after shareholders approved a plan to distribute dividends worth £2.75 billion.

The latest ONS infection summary results are out and, though, because the numbers are small means the headline numbers may not be totally accurate, they show a continued downward trend in infections in the community consistent with an R value ( excluding hospitals and care homes ) reasonably below 1
