This insanity is endless...

For all those people who think think COVID-19 is some sort of conspiracy, just note that infection rate, in the UK alone, have risen, alarmingly. If you cannot be bothered to wear suitable protection whilst outside then you are, without doubt, contributing to the problem. Do you sneeze or cough in someone's face, regardless of your medical condition ?

We are all wearing muzzles but the positive testing is still rising.

Obviously masks do not work.

There was a classic on the Tour de France coverage last week, the comms man was getting all uppity because some roadside fans, stood in splendid isolation in the vast French countryside, weren't wearing muzzles. They were irresponsible, they weren't showing respect, they were a danger to the riders, on and on he ranted, while seemingly oblivious to the fact that 160-180 cyclists were riding along packed together, without muzzles, for six hours a day, pushing, shoving, shouting at each other, no doubt coughing and spitting as well. But he never explained why none of them are testing positive for Covid 19.

Then it got better, he pointed out that Race Director, Christian Prudhomme, would not be in his usual position running things at the head of the race, despite never appearing in public without his muzzle, strictly observing social distancing, no shaking hands, no kissing, no hugging, and remaining strictly in his Tour bubble, he had tested positive for Covid and was self-isolating.

The irony seemed lost on him, that after his lengthy whinge about the danger the fans were posing, it was the man in the mask, observing all the rules, who had to self-isolate. As you said BT, seems like the masks don't work in France either.

the more folk have tests - the more the infection rate will seem to spike - because, the test picks up on dead/old viral fragments from what could be from...who knows when - its unreliable - the same result has been noted on previous occasions, offering plenty of evidence on the reason behind the current rise in cases - and compared to the mortality rate....from what the office of national statistics are telling us - weekly registered deaths are 15% lower than the 5 year average - except at home (not in hospital) - where they're higher....that, makes complete sense.
