Yes I saw those

Bit late when other countries were doing that back in March.

It's been suggested here that choirs/bands will not be allowed to practice or perform until a vaccine is found due to the droplets that get expelled during the act of singing? Not sure how football gets away with being played unless some of the face to face 'gobbing off' we regularly see between players becomes a bookable/sending off offence.

Yes and its the science behind all this that fascinates me.

A typical virus is small and of negligible weight, smaller and lighter than the particles from say smoking or vaping.

So even if more than 2m away from a smoker you can still smell the smoke then surely a virus van be airborne in the same way and can still infect?

Similarly if you can smell the perfume or aftershave of a person nearby then you must be “in range” of a virus travelling in the same way as the odour?

Btw the great god football gets away with many dodgy things, logic plays no part

It's a mystery Grist. You smell of smoke long after you've left the presence of someone smoking but you don't, as far as I've noticed, smell of BO once you've left the presence of a smelly git. I think the virus has something to do we being carried in H2O droplets that due to their weight relative to air particles fall to the ground. Naturally the lighter droplets can drift a bit further dependent upon prevailing conditions.

Do you know what IBS, there are many legitimate questions to be asked about access to information and YouTube, and the role of the media. This bloke is clearly sincere and articulates well.

Folks like this guy have the right to challenge content removal.

None of that alters the fact that the majority of stuff being removed is consumed and shared wholesale by gullible folks with no academic background to understand and interpret the subject at hand and this does measurable harm to our society. I've not had 5g signal for about 3 week now because of utter morons (don't worry I know you're switched on enough to realise that it doesn't cause coronavirus, you just find other surrounding conspiracies "interesting"). At the other end of the scale children are now literally dying of diseases that we've been able to prevent for decades because their parents watched a YouTube video and think they know better than pretty much the entire practising medical community.

You clearly gobble these things right up - whether you have the should have the right to binge on conspiracy nonsense without any restrictions is an interesting question to which I'm not sure exactly where the answer should rest.

Love the emotional blackmail in your thread!

[John2]

It's not blackmail. It's a matter of indisputable fact. Vaccine ignorance literally kills innocent children, and also leads to the hounding of grieving parents:

You're participating in the conspiracy that leads to things like that reported in the article happening. This is one of the consequences of people like yours' actions and right to consume fake information.

Oh the irony

[millertop]

Surprisingly way some idiotic people have acted the watching of daily briefing are getting easier to watch.
Personally I don’t think we’ll get a second spike.
Obviously I’m not stupid enough to carry on as normal and start throwing parties

I’m sure media will find and big the negatives up though
