Todd_is_God Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 With the case numbers starting to increase again slightly, the SG are in real danger of being shown to have absolutely no actual gameplan or vision for the way out. Just as they did last August, they are going to remove restrictions as cases increase, despite steadfastly refusing to do so as they tumbled. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/20/covid-england-mask-boris-johnson-omicron The absolute, fucking nick of this: Quote I recommend using several in rotation, to allow them to “decontaminate” between uses. Masks with head straps will fit better and may last longer. Metal nose clips (as opposed to plastic ones) usually mould better to your nose, providing a closer fit – but unfortunately it can be hard to know before buying them which type of clip is used. While many industry-certified masks come as a standard size, smaller-sized masks are increasingly available. Don't forget your safety goggles and face visor to stop those pesky viruses getting in through the eyes as well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I think Omicron is the one that has broken this pandemic. I know a lot of people who caught it, and reading the media it seems the same story everywhere. People reporting no symptoms, mild symptoms, or it feeling just like a cold. And people now thinking that the reaction to it - isolation, masks, various other restrictions - seem overblown to deal with it. Sure, there will always be a hard core of clinically vulnerable people for whom the risk of covid is higher; but their risk to flu, pneumonia and others is also higher, and always has been. The link between "cases" and severe illness/death has shattered. This is due to a number of things, from the virus itself being milder, to the fantastic work of the vaccines. Those in hospital are largely made up of the unvaccinated. There is no real reason then to carry on forcing people who have done all the right things - worked from home, home schooled the kids, limited social contacts, didn't go to that wedding/funeral/works event, got vaccinated, got boosted - to keep restricting their lives. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just now, oaksoft said: While the mask mandate may have gone, and some people will joyously doff their masks, many will remain rightly concerned about Covid-19, the potential for getting long Covid and the effect that the lack of restrictions will have on the lives of vulnerable people. So there it is in black and white. If you don't want to wear a mask it means you simply don't care about covid, long covid or vulnerable people. It must be true because she has declared it to be a fact. That article reeks of sancimony. Long Covid my eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
