anotherchance Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 3 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: I’ve not seen or heard anyone advocating indefinite face mask wearing; maybe there are a few folk out there arguing this but I’ve not seen them and I doubt they’d hold much sway. I’m not going to specify when mask wearing should end as I have insufficient knowledge, but I don’t see doing it for a few more months as a huge problem. Inconvenient, yes, but nothing beyond that. Well that's the point - if it's 3/4 months then that takes us to the start of autumn, and a fair bet that they'll still be here another 6 months after that to see us through the winter. I don't think it'll be enforced quite like that though - Sturgeon still seems to think people are booking into pubs and distancing outdoors, so there's every chance that mask wearing will go the same way as those non-measures, without her or anyone else's say so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Scotland can hopefully avoid a fourth wave, albeit may see a wave 3.5 if all restrictions go on 9 August, but that would hopefully just burn out as quickly as the third did. England may be heading for the 100,000 cases per day. On the up just now, restrictions going on Monday and the Wembley variant dropping in a week's time. I want to see border guards along Hadrian's wall, automatic weapons in one hand and Cohibas in the other to keep those plague ridden southerners out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Do masks work or don’t they? I don’t think a bit of cloth will make much difference but some believe they do. I don’t believe that surgeons would have to wear them if there wasn’t some benefit but never the less;It is 100% certain that you can’t eat or drink through a face covering, so you can’t wear one in a restaurant setting, but you can sit at a table for up to 2 hours in a busy restaurant full of people ( even if you’re 2 metres away) and expell all the air you like but you must put on a mask for the 2 minutes it takes to walk to the pisherI’m sorry but that is just a fuckin carry on, same with the gym example Rather than just use comon sense and exempt hospitality they carry on with this charade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute theatre. Anyone who "feels safer" because the person sitting maskless 1m away from them for 2 hours wears a mask to walk to toilet is either at it or needs to give their head a wobble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I would love to see the evidence (or lack of) for some of the nonsense in Level 0. Why are pubs uniquely dangerous places between midnight and 1am but private homes are not? Why is it safe for ‘10 people from 4 households’ to meet in a cafe but only for ‘8 people from 4 households’ to do so in a house? Why is social distancing required ‘between different households’ in hospitality but ‘not required’ in homes? Why is the cap on outdoor gatherings still 15? Why is the cap on sports events 2000 regardless of stadia size? Surely no one is now following this pish?

Aye and is the whole point of masks during surgery more so you don't accidentally spit/sneeze/cough into someone's chest cavity whilst you've got them opened up and your hands and arms are slightly pre occupied ? Not the the fact it will magically catch all the germs you expel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's simple. You dont know what you don't know and there remains many unknowns about this virus and its long term effects, include those of vaccines as the experts attest to. So unless you are a moron willing to follow another moron that resides in Downing Street, caution is the better part of valour. We JuSt DoN't KnOw.Fucking hell, I thought Rumsfeld was dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Unfortunately I saw moronbears post as it was quoted but I was surprised to see his new found advocacy for caution. Pleasing to see he’s now behind myself and all the other wasters getting a few more months working from home as that would be the cautious thing to do. U-turns faster than Boris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want all the wasters back at their work. They can wear masks, which every c**t will be doing after Aug9 anyway. Just like down south employer's will have to comply with H&S law in their risk assessments as the dopey c**t sitting next to you terrified you gob all over them them when you cough or sneeze. The problem also diminishes when the slackers all get sacked as furlough ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was escorted to my seat at Dens and the stewards are telling people to keep their masks on. To be fair to the one near me, he was fairly apologetic.

Granted your not likely to be shouting and roaring at the cinema but it's indoors so transmission risk is markedly higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, anyone who quotes him and gives him the time of day is as bad as he is. He's an honestly dreadful troll. I'm sure he thinks he's being edgy or inducing rage in other forum users but he's utterly shite at it.
