Pens_Dark Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 2 hours ago, oaksoft said: I was at the hospital at the weekend with a relative and was fully expecting to have to wear one but almost nobody was doing so. Some staff were but most of them weren't wearing one either. Really surprised at that. Pleasantly surprised though. My wife and I have been taking regular trips in to ninewells recently as we are expecting a baby. At the entrance, you are still met with a wall of signs saying you MUST wear masks to enter with little dispensers to grab one if you don't have. Am I right in saying the legal requirement has been dropped in hospitals now also? Hospital settings are the one setting I don't really grumble at having to wear one given the circumstances we are in there etc etc. My wife has had to put up with my mask ramblings for and general grumpiness towards them since this began. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of germaphobes and hypochondriacs, almost nobody cares about covid anymore and haven't done for a very long time. Obviously nobody wants to die from it or see a relative die from it but people have clearly moved on to things which are more important. That seems to be crystal clear. I thought the "legal" stuff had all been dropped and was just guidance now which hospitals were enforcing themselves for a while. I have to say that I'm prepared to give hospitals a bit more latitude with this masking stupidity if they have someone on a door demanding I wear one but beyond that environment it's a hard pass on any request to wear them. Thankfully all the dross of the rona fear has basically subsided now despite deliberate attempts by much of the media to bring it back to the forefront. Lets just hope it stays that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Huge crash in case numbers this week, despite the wails of the protection loving "experts" being roundly ignored. Minter for them. Why do they never learn? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccine does nothing to prevent infection or transmission of the current variants and millions of unvaccinated people are going about their lives at big events, going on holidays and studying or working as normal yet pish like this is still being published. Remember when you were saying that they would be permanently excluded from a 'new normal' society? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 I can’t work out a way to get round the thumping great FT paywall for this story. But Britain is the only country where numbers leaving the workforce have increased post lockdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Brazil Forever Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 32 minutes ago, oaksoft said: And one comment is saying "if they didn't wear masks it would have been even worse" followed by a wee clown symbol. Another is blaming the 1% who don't mask up. These people will never admit they are wrong about masks. The wearing of masks, particularly in winter is a very longstanding tradition in Japan. When I and my family lived and worked in Japan in the sixties and seventies, it was fully accepted that masks would be worn to avoid spreading or catching coughs and colds. Their use during the pandemic was regarded as entirely appropriate and correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
