Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

No but I've heard of the placebo effect. Get your mask on everyone and all go back to work and shopping, you're all safe now.

Where has anyone actually said “you’re all safe now”?

 

[nsno-chris]

Oh, picking on people who cry eh? Fascist.

do you even know what Facist means??

asking for a friend

Why tell everyone to wear a mask if they're not safe then?

 

[Moomin]

Even if it only helps a little to stop the spread, its worth doing.

Just people with a seemingly endless well of tears that they only shed when the gym closes. Normally I don't laugh at clueless simpletons with zero grasp on reality, but you've made it impossible not to here.

Because wearing a mask will reduce the risk of airborne transmission.
You said getting people to wear a mask was only a placebo whereas the global scientific evidence says the risk of contracting and infecting others is reduced.
Now, let’s think...your opinion or global scientific evidence? I know your opinion will simply discount anything you don’t feel like doing but it doesn’t mean you’re right.
So, can you now let us in on where you heard that “you’re all safe now”?

Hope you have rubber gloves and goggles prepared too.

So why now? There is no way that the global scientific community have only just decided that a virus can be hindered by wearing a mask. The only reason you are going to wear a mask now is cos Johnson wants you to feel safe enough to restart the economy. If there were any true wisdom to wearing them then everyone on the planet wouldve been wearing one since childhood and noone would get I'll from any sort of viral infection.

You really are a clueless divvy aren’t you?

 

[Tea_drinker]

Exactly. Its unbelievably stupid:
The Metropolitan Police Federation has warned that requiring the public to wear face masks in shops will be almost impossible for police to enforce.
Its chairman Ken Marsh, told Today:

Shopkeepers need to step up to the plate and take some responsibility. They can quite easily put signs up on their doors ‘No mask on, no entry, this is private property’.
That’s the first point we need to get across because this cannot all be laid on the shoulders of the police yet again.
The second point is it will be nigh-on impossible for enforcement because you won’t have a police officer on every shop door because there isn’t enough of us.
If a shopkeeper calls the police because someone hasn’t got a mask on, they haven’t got the power to detain them so that person can just walk away.
We’ll be driving around and around London looking for people who aren’t wearing masks, it’s absolutely absurd.

Whether he or others are WUMs or not, this is the way forward. If it saves one life or even stops someone from being seriously ill, well it's worth the inconvenience.

Even if it's a placebo for most people, there are other benefits for wearing them. When you balance it up, I really can't understand why people are aggrieved.

By that thinking if we all wear masks all the time we would reduce illness and deaths by a small amount. You up for that for the rest of your life?

it’ll be impossible to enforce because people like you refuse to wear one despite government and scientists telling you it’s better for the health of the population .

do I like the idea , not particularly. Do I think the messaging has been confused and poorly delivered , of course . Ultimately we’re in a terrible situation and the evidence suggests people might survive if we wear one , so let’s give it a go hey ?
