I give up.

You call my comments rubbish then dont explain why yours arent! Hmm, every government except Brazil and USA have got it all wrong then, what silly Billies they all are.

 

It’s my opinion based upon statistics and basic observation skills. Like I say it’s not my job to enlighten anyone.

Sometimes it does seem that the Governments want to take more control, but not convinced this is one of them.

Maybe they should have said to wear masks in shops the whole time, but they didn't and with the lack of PPE at the early stages that's possibly understandably. For the last few months we've been told not to go to shops unnecessarily and to maintain a 2m social distance at all times, wearing a mask at this point probably wouldn't achieve much more and the shops were much more empty. Now with shops getting busier and people doing less social distancing maybe this is the right time to enforce mask wearing in shops and other enclosed public spaces. The virus hasn't actually gone away (see USA) but with people travelling widely there is again more opportunity to spread it about.

Fair enough, I'll just put this theory in with all the other conspiracy theories then.

I have to wear a mask every day on Public transport to get around or using platforms. It isnt difficult. Its a few quid. Kicking off abt a simple health precaution is juvenile, plus it allows me to shout at people not wearing masks.  K

It’s about state control at virtually the tiniest level not being bloody juvenile  and kicking off about that is probs a result of watching everything I’ve worked for virtually disappear over the preceding months due to the ridiculous reaction to this virus. Anyone whom shouts at me about not wearing a totally ineffective masks will be told in no uncertain terms to mind there own bloody business. One thing this hysteria has brought out is the rise of the total jobsworth for sure. Wait and see where the Scottish government approach takes the country in the long term.

You just keep believing every single thing the government keeps telling you then there’s a good citizen. Much of what’s happening and going on right now are facts not theories, only thing is the hysterical media etc is not holding anyone genuinely to account rather it’s got a huge part of the population convinced the virus is on every bloody corner waiting to strike them down which it most certainly is not.

“Always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever.”

I’m not your pal I dont use trains and shout if you want but you will be shouted back at. It’s supposedly a free country I dont need jobsworth types telling me what to do. 
As an aside wearing them on a packed train I can see some logic but in a huge supermarket after over 100 days is total stupidity. I don’t think the train will actually be yours by the way. I know train sets etc as a kid were cool but the it’s my train set I’ll do what I want mentality might not be appropriate for a grown man.

Proper masks are not ineffective  but , all they do is stop you ( the mask wearer ) giving it to someone else . They will not stop you catching it from  air borne  virus as the quickest way into you is through your eyes .
