Common cold vs Covid

[donsdaft]

Mask wearers - point and laugh. They may look ridiculous but they're not actually doing you any harm apart from the annoyance factor.

The anti bacterial brigade though????

They're killing us all.

Well, it is a bloody inconvenience.

They're not angry, too frightened to be angry.

But why is/was it an inconvenience? Unless you have respiratory problems I really struggle to see the problem, especially when it could protect others.

Is the real issue that you were told to do it by Nicola and Boris (on the advice of well trained scientists), but you think you should be able to do whatever you like, even in unprecedented times when people were dying and there wasn't really any sort of reference in living memory on how to react ? (For the record, I think Johnson is a f**kin idiot and made a complete ar*e of everything he touched)

Of course it was an inconvenience.

As was all the shìte they made up about travelling.

Passenger locator forms for fück sake.
Do you think anyone ever read one of those EVER?

Testing when you returned to the uk?

They sent you the fücking thing in the post for fück sake.

Someone somewhere worked this out, what was their conclusion to how many of them would be done properly do you think?

It's almost a year since I sent the last one away, I'm still waiting for the results.

We're talking about masks, based on your comments around how they never worked etc etc (the traveller tracking and un-enforced, untracked mandatory self-isolation post travel (after dragging yourself unhindered across whichever town on public transport) is another argument - and one I agree was just for show).

So how exactly was popping a little piece of fabric over your mouth and nose such a monumental inconvenience to, not just you but the public as a whole?

2020 just called. It wants its tedious argument back.

This used to be a place for thoughtful and insightful discussion about borderline boilers, WYOWNs, the late Phoenix’s auntie’s voracious carnal appetites, and the annual (around now) shaming of buc for his poor knowledge of Kirsty McColl’s state of consciousness, sentience and deidness.

I'm curious as to how people see this:

Civil liberties being eroded, totally unenforceable or enlightened illness prevention?

It was 21 years on Monday since I stopped smoking.

If I ever again fancy starting then I won't be going to New Zealand to do it.

Fair point - always the voice of reason and balance 😀

Still would like to know why its such an inconvenience, but I guess that's another of the boards great mysteries.

Rowie or buttery, but never a roll.

And always a chipper.

Ahhhhhh, normality

Always a roll, often a rowie, never ever ( on pain of death) the B word.
