Ron Aldo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm more sanguine about it. People can wear whatever they like - they could be in a scuba outfit if they wanted. It's the sense that some people are trying to guilt or shame people into following their lead in masking up that bothers me. This is it. Live and let live and all that but it has to work both ways. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sense that some people are trying to guilt or shame people into following their lead in masking up that bothers me. That's perfectly fair if someone calls a non mask wearer out for not wearing one but if they are quietly going about their business and not interfering in mine then it's fine by me. If masks end as hoped a week on Monday I will be done in this thread. It will be officially over and life will go on to the latest crisis. I for one will stop caring right there and then what anyone else is doing Covid wise. Might as well move it to PnB Gold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 These people, man. They need psychological help because of government and 'public health' fear fuelling over the past two years - not keeping it against the law to buy a pint of milk without having your face covered. Quote Virologist Prof Richard Stanton said he would be surprised to see restrictions disappearing, saying "England set the tone" by getting rid of them and the Welsh government has a "fine line to walk". He cautioned on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast: "We are seeing a rise in cases as restrictions are starting to lift and this increase is spilling over to hospital increases at a time when the NHS is already stretched". Prof Stanton, of Cardiff University, said the concern was that people would "think it's over" and with the likelihood of new variants emerging, these could spread more rapidly with no restrictions. Alex Osbourne of Disability Wales is also "very concerned" about the prospect of masks no longer being a legal requirement as well as self-isolation rules disappearing. The 31-year-old from Caerphilly has multiple sclerosis and believes those who have needed to shield have "been forgotten". Alex Osbourne is worried about the implications of changes She said: "People at risk may have no choice but to come into contact with some people who are Covid-positive, and at the same time masks are going. "People really want to start going out and feeling positive. It's quite a shock." Ms Osbourne urged people to keep washing hands, and if they have a cough or cold, be mindful of who they are meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of workers in the Asda in Inverness who wear them. They look fucking ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Nobody wearing a mask should be abused or looked down on at all. It’s a completely personal thing. however, government need to understand that if they keep up messaging that masks are necessary to stay safe whilst lifting the legal requirement, they’ve just created conflict throughout society. The reality is with this government is that if masks actually made a material difference to transmission or severe illness they wouldn’t be lifting the legal restriction. The messaging is purely so they can’t be seen to be abandoning their cautious principles and the people who support it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - meek messaging and half saying things without spitting it out and being firm and assertive helps no-one. Sturgeon forever bragged about being unashamedly “candid” when it came to scariants or bad news, but now it’s going the other way it’s all smoke and mirrors without having the stones to be honest about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Why on earth would you want to have to check you've brought your credit card or that your insurance company will honour your claim before you get hospital treatment? How can that possibly help anything? You'd have the exact same staff, on the same wages, the exact same structure and the exact same management. Except now you'd have some of the money coming in going to the pockets of private investors as dividends. How on earth can that help either? Seriously, what am I missing here?It’s clear as day that he actually doesn’t know how the NHS in Scotland works, or indeed functions on a day-to-day basis, compared to someone who works in it. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Only last week Sturgeon was spraffing that NATO shouldn't rule out a no-fly zone in Ukraine to look cosy in the eyes of Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. Somewhat ironically it looks like we're heading to be the only country in the North Atlantic keeping masks, though. That's how much she cares (about optics). Surprised she's not reminded Ukrainians to remember their masks on their evacuation transport. Steps that could lead to global conflict between nuclear states = good Removing bits of cloth from faces for a glorified cold = bad The Scottish Government, ladies and gentlemen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
