welshbairn Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just to note that the US mask advice is a bit more specific than everyone should wear one at all times. Quote On Friday, Adams admitted the evolution of the guidance on masks “has been confusing to the American people”. He said the original advice was based on the best information available at the time and that the World Health Organization recommended against using them. But now, Adams said, it is known that a “significant portion” of people with the virus lack symptoms and can transmit it before they show symptoms, for example by coughing, sneezing or speaking. “In light of this new evidence, CDC recommends, and the task force recommends, wearing cloth-based coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. These includes places like grocery stores and pharmacies.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all for the free market until someone richer comes along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 You missed out the best part, he included DICTATORS in the list. Jesus wept ! I've just read that he won't wear a mask because he doesn't think it would be appropriate to meet Prime Ministers , Presidents & Kings and Queens while wearing one . Which world leaders does he think he's actually going to be meeting during the current pandemic ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not sure about the source here but interesting quote from Trump who probably knew more than we do. Quote Even US President Donald Trump has taken to mocking the British policy. “A lot of people were saying ‘let’s just ride it out’,” he told a press conference on Tuesday. “They were looking at that concept in the UK, remember? They were very much looking at it. All of a sudden they went hard the other way because they started seeing things that weren’t good… Now Boris has tested positive and I hear – I hope – he’s going to be fine. But in the UK they were looking at that.” https://bylinetimes.com/2020/04/03/the-coronavirus-crisis-herd-immunity-has-infected-uk-policy-but-who-was-patient-zero-for-this-toxic-transatlantic-idea/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
