.......because all the measures against Covid haven't worked, with the exception of the vaccine. Even the govt ads on the radio say it's spreading fast. This proves that facemasks are a complete waste of time. They weren't compulsory during the first lockdown, and the figures dropped rapidly. The latest measures have proved ineffective because the radio announcements say so; it's spreading fast. Facemasks are useless.

All covid testing centres should be closed down. Stop the testing, then re-open them for vaccinations only. Remove all restrictions because they haven't worked from day one. Some city centres have mobile matrix signs saying: Covid 19 is still here. Well, it will be here for good. It aint going away.

Chris Whitty delivers his messages in a Ian Macdonald-esque style, telling people to get boosted! This man needs a boost, from what I can see, as he enjoys his time in the sun. He's the warm-up man for The Lutine Bell.

All the coverage, all the announcements and press conferences are doing nothing but panicking people. In 2 years time we'll be having announcements about Plan R, or Plan S or Plan T. It's here folks, and it's here to stay.

The wokey, wimpy, sanctimonious lockdown lovers will be along shortly with the usual gubbins about how they are careful and we should all be like them. But I say stop panicking, because that's what happening, verging on hysteria now.

Your fear is their power.

i am only panicking that the idiots will close us down before Christmas as i am due to see family for the Christmas week. The virus is here to stay i know that.
i have had three jabs, so should afford some measure of protection - will wear a mask if asked to, to enter the chemists or other outlets. It may not be the best, but i think that's all one can do.

I don't have a problem with anyone wearing a mask. It's their choice but the evidence so far suggests they serve no purpose, maybe theraputic.
you may be right, i don't know, but i have chosen to wear one in certain circumstances.
i don't like wearing one if i am honest, but when asked to by a shop or taxi firm how can you refuse...
10cs, Facemasks are there to protect other people from Covid should you have.It is a simple concept that you seem to have difficulty in understanding.
I wonder how many of the "Carry On..." cast are still around for the new film "Carry On Covid"?

(Agree with the OP more or less.)
Since all this began I have worked on the simple assumption that I may have it and I wouldn't want to pass it on to anybody else. As required by law I wear a mask on public transport and in shops. When I am out and about in the fresh air I dispense with it. As Danny says, it is a question of protecting others and not just yourself.
I agree, 10C. Covid is here to stay and we can't keep locking down. If you are worried stay away from people but let others live a life. I wear a mask in supermarkets, even if it helps a little it is worth it. It's no hardship. I am so fed up with all the 'news' about covid, it's the same thing over and over again.
Yawn
I haven’t seen 1 single person panicking. Those coming closest are owners and staff of hospitality venues / chains.

You seem to have some inside knowledge that Omicron is being spread in situations where masks are worn. Could you let us all know where you’ve obtained this information?
I'm not panicking. I never have. Whether it works or not I just do as I'm asked.
As far as I can understand masks help protect others from getting it from you and your are helped getting it from others.

Not difficult to understand unless you do not care about the harm and cost of respiratory illnesses.
I listen to experts not amateurs.

The experts say that masks are a useful tool in reducing spread.
//The experts say that masks are a useful tool in reducing spread.//

So show me the studies that conclusively prove this then.

You are 100% correct 10c
You say vaccines work and then have ago at whitty urging is to get a booster.
You've done all the rubbish about we wore masks and deaths went up and we locked down and deaths went up and I can't be bothered explaining again that the rain don't come down just because we buy umbrellas or wearing shorts don't make the sun come out.
The burden of proof is, in any civilised debate, upon the proposer of the original statement to prove.

I freely admit I have zero evidence that omicron is being transmitted where masks are worn but the OP has made a statement but provided no proof.

In such a situation, is it not reasonable to ask what eveidence a person has for their assertions, or do we trust his mates at the local WMC implicitly?
So many would be scientists now on this site ,as the rest have said , follow what is asked of us and at this stage it’s all we can do

Let me google that for you

Sticky, have you actually read those?

There is no conclusive proof, most is done on modelling and supposition and also includes other factors such as handwashing (now show as of little use).

Of two direct studies they show to be inconclusive.
