Yeah alright you know it alls. If that was the case, how come we don't get mangled pigeons being shoved down the aisle? Huh? Answer me that one.

The pigeon filters separate bird from air, and are then drawn through a macerator and sold to greggs for sausage roll use

I was quoting a Tom O’Connor sketch and being a bit silly, I apologise.

( I used to work on Rolls Royce Olympus gas turbines when in the Royal Navy, same engines the Concorde used, so I do know my way around an engine )

haha I actually googled your reply thinking it must be a quote but nothing came up!

Ever notice how one of the in-flight meal options is always “chicken”. Hmmmm

Hospital figures - 12 is the announced total, 2 up on yesterday but 5 down on last Tuesday, all 12 were in English hospitals, again up 2 on yesterday and 5 down on last week with 10 occurring in the past 10 days

Tell you what, think a lot of people in here should ask for a refund on their O-Levels.

No but if it can spread in a shop then it can absolutely spread in an aeroplane as well. Same as everything other than locking your front door keeps you safe from the virus.

But one is deemed fine and the other not? In fact it's fine for people to wear masks in shops but not the staff? Isn't that putting them at risk? Exactly the same premises but one is magically immune?

It's fine to protest but not to go the beach? It's fine to go to an office depending on where you work but not ok to go and have a family get together. It's fine to go and queue up and shop in town but it's not fine to queue up and go and visit a band playing even at social distance rules?

There isn't any logic to this.

He has a point you know.

Presumably there were people in the car without a mask that did get infected, or people in the car that just washed their hands, and so on? I'm generally okay with masks as it's such a low effort thing, but that study seems a little bit flimsy.

I think there was a more convincing example in the article itself - especially given how many people were infected in a similar S Korean mega church by patient #33.
“Masks are what enabled three people to stay virus-free despite spending an hour in the same car with “B,” an infected individual in Gwangju, on June 27. Another relevant example was a church in Gyeonggi Province that made it mandatory for parishioners to wear masks in services. As a result, not a single member of its 9,000 congregation was infected after “C” and their daughter, who were infected with COVID-19, attended three services last month.

You are missing the point I was making then.

Just because a scientist has said something doesn't make it true or even proven. Yet people regurgitate that information without even questioning it. If it's positive then it's unproven yet if it's negative it's fine to take on face value?

So many different things said and reported have not been validated yet we are suppose to believe it? Kawasaki disease , gone. They have found the first covid animal TWICE since this started, what was wrong with the first one? Key symptoms are being pushed to be included yet there is only a 3% difference between positive and negative tests. The virus affects minorities more , yet it doesnt. It affects males more , yet it doesn't. Everyone is dying from it , except they aren't.

You can take all your Information from scientists by all means. But actually listen to what that says and go and find the source because chances are it's a theory being printed as truth. So much has been disproven yet been 'fact' at the time of release.

Once this is over you will be able to look back on the coverage of this and see what I'm saying is right. The sheer amount of scare tactics , theories and guesswork that has been printed from scientists without any corroboration between them is amazing. The fact people just want to regurgitate these facts without making their own mind up is worse.

You keep on repeating this bollocks without providing an iota of evidence.

There are multiple studies across multiple countries, including the initial ones from China, that men are disproportionately negatively impacted by coronavirus, often despite more cases being diagnosed in women.

Factors associated with COVID-19-related death using OpenSAFELY - Nature

OpenSAFELY, a new health analytics platform that includes data from over 17 million adult NHS patients in England, is used to examine factors associated with COVID-19-related death.

www.nature.com

Primary care records of 17,278,392 adults were pseudonymously linked to 10,926 COVID-19-related deaths. COVID-19-related death was associated with: being male (hazard ratio (HR) 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.53–1.65);

You know things are serious when LL uses the word bollocks.

You know things are series when LL uses the word bollocks.

At this point I consider it deliberate and dangerous disinformation to claim that men are not more at risk of an adverse outcome if they catch coronavirus - especially given the gender skew in the readership of this forum.

There's a whole load of misinformed wham in this thread these days. I blame the Summer sunshine.

There was a study out this week from the University of Delaware showing that men were also more likely to believe conspiracy theories associated with Covid.
