Not even bothered with **** the title .....

Tonight in Paphos the council/gubberment have put on a huge open air "pop" concert ..with 1000s of people crammed together ......no monitoring of Vacine etc ...

I normally laugh at the shit that goes on here as in "it only happens etc" .....but this could effect our jobs etc ..our cases are rising .. ....  and why ...

[Steve]

does sound stupid

Your 2 week rate is now 179 per 100,000 people.  Our gubberment has just said they're happy if ours goes to 2,200 per 100k.  How stupid is that when countries like yours will look at that and say 'no Brits here please'?

I presume it was jam packed like Wembley...? 

People are realising that no amount of mask wearing, social distancing, sanitising, etc. makes the blind bit of difference... If it did, our numbers wouldn't look like this...





For a while you can play the 'blame game'. Blame people that don't wear masks or social distance or get vaxed, etc. Doesn't last long...

Eventually, unless you are prepared to lock everybody indoors for six months, deliver food and force vaccinations we are going to have to accept it and get on with our lives - rather like Florida, Texas, Sweden, etc.

Anybody that considers themselves vulnerable is of course free to continue to wear a mask, social distance, sanitise their shopping trolley and shopping but the rest of us need to get back to as near as normal as possible...

yes it's true that some people do believe that

Especially people in places that have removed all of that shite and seen no difference in outcome... I'm guessing that those people in particular (residents of Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Sweden, etc.) believe it most of all because they can see the evidence in front of them...

Clearly people that watch the BBC news every day and wish to spend the rest of their lives under the government thumb may not be as convinced... But still...

For masks to have made any real difference the governments would have had to mandated using n95, ffp3 and possibly kn95 analogues only and having to change them every few hours to ensure they don't absorb so much moisture from our breath that they allow any virus particles through. This was never going to happen though because the stocks were just not available. Instead we end up with people wearing things like neck gaiters thinking that it will provide protection

Oh for goodness sake Meister, masks are all about protecting people from the wearer by reducing the aerosol size and range

And that would work with proper masks. But looking at the range of ridiculousness that I have seen people using half of them would be little or no use at reducing the spray and some would even help spread it more widely. Not to mention that my argument with the basic surgical masks still counts, once they are moistened enough from your breath (usually after a couple of hours use) they are pretty much completely porous allowing a near free flow of virons both ways.

yes we can all remember a few selfish shits who don't wear masks properly.  We should be slinging them off trains etc and if they're lucky when it's stationary.
 
But the science says the cloth face coverings work https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/masking-science-sars-cov2.html
 
Much though that frustrates the 'what's in it for me?' community

Like those at the G7 that whipped them off as soon as the photo op was over...? 

Lets face it, if masks were actually effective the great and good wouldn't have taken them off as soon as they could. They'd also ban the cheap rubbish ones that don't fit the face properly...

They also wouldn't allow the footy, Wimbledon, etc. without them...

The follies of that git Boris should not be a guide for what decent people do

That git Boris and all the other world leaders... And her Maj you mean...?

Because it wasn't just him whipping off his mask and ignoring the oh so important social distancing was it...?

Even if true (and I doubt it) just sounds like the logic of 'Keith Richards took heroin so we all should'

You're right, I'm sure it didn't happen...
