Army, I know you've said you're not going to post on this subject again, but I hope you'll respond to this, because I'm really intrigued by the above. You seem to be saying you caught Covid because you weren't wearing a mask, but everything I've read on mask wearing from the WHO, the NHS and Public Health England, says that a mask does not offer any protection to the wearer, but it may prevent an infected person passing the virus on to someone else. I don't doubt for a minute what you say, so I'm wondering if the experts have changed their views on masks yet again, they've changed them at least once already, and masks now do protect the wearer ?
I really don’t know the technicalities of it Sinkov but as I say at my own home for literally a few minutes I didn’t wash my hands or wear the mask and managed to catch it after 13 months etc of being really diligent do ing both.

I get the scepticism from people because we’re constantly bombarded with quotes from so called doctors - nurses national statistics databases etc etc.

Truthfully I live with a woman who was way past you guys on here conspiracy theory - not a real virus - 97% survival rate , masks waste of time , no inoculation for her.
basically the whole thing was a scam start to finish , until we lost people close that we knew , then we buried her Auntie
Then I caught it and so did she , the transformation is mind blowing she now questions all the doctor - nurse videos she was sent and a full 360 degree turn around has happend.
All from losing people and seeing what t does to them and ourselves when I’ll with it.
It’s a cruel cruel virus that we can’t see or control, as for the masks I don’t know right or wrong I just know if you haven’t had it - you definitely don’t want it or take the chance - anything that might stop the spread or transfer is worth a go in my book anyway.
