I Really Didn't Want To

[teacake44]

Say again that I've been right about face masks all along, but, I thought I would, it seems Boris has also come round to my way of thinking after 6 months of telling us, and his mate Hancock, that they don't make any difference. Regarding the argument, face coverings or masks, it also seems that Boris calls them masks, has if it really mattered either way. :0)))

Fibber.

There's nothing in the government's new stance that goes against their original statements. (i.e. that masks are pointless when people are keeping two metres apart). It's only now that people are coming closer together that masks might have some value.

teacake, I have to ask you if you are concerned with how quickly the virus has jumped from humans to politicians?

[DTCwordfan]

those plastic visors are brilliant, at the very least acid attacks will be down.

22.33 You really need to keep up with the on going proof that's being established every day.

[Sqad]

It was not as straight forward as you make it.
There has always been a controversy amongst scientists as to the efficacy of mask.
The argument being that the virus part les are so small that they would pass through the conventional mask
In my mind that doubt still exists.

"I really didn't want to … "

But you did anyway.

That's the kind of reverse self-deprecation that made Terry Wogan such a bother.

[teacake44]

22.36The doubt is being dramatically reduced each day, but eh oh.

[teacake44]

22.39 but also very successful, and very rich. :0)

teacake - // 22.39 but also very successful, and very rich. :0) //

So was Jeffrey Epstein - not really an accurate marker of someone I would admire personally.

[ToraToraTora]

they don't make any difference, end of. Sadly the government have decided to humour the morons.

[teacake44]

22.43 TTT. :0))))))))))))))))))))))

[douglas9401]

Our sainted First Minister will have to up her Tena Lady order if this comes to, errr, pass. :-)

[Cloverjo]

TTT, if someone was coughing and sneezing within 2 metres of me I think I’d rather they had a face covering.

[diddlydo]

Let's face it - most/all homemade face coverings are likely to be useless at preventing transmission for both the wearer and other people. See response from Squad above.

[teacake44]

22.43, everyone to their own, but I was responding to your compare of TW, now JE, is a whole different ball game.

[ToraToraTora]

jo, the virus is much smaller than the holes, simples.

[teacake44]

22.50 I really don't have to spend time arguing my point any longer, the government are doing it for me.

[ToraToraTora]

masks have no actual effect but appeal to the general human desire to believe in something. It's why religion is popular, no sense no logic, it's just something that people inexplicably find comforting.
