To add to the masks, and this is really ridiculous, the school has now received nine air purifiers. Wifey looked online and they are £1900 each. Jeez.......

Plan B measures dropped and we have to live with Covid (or die with it  )
the WHO and top scientists have said don't just treat Covid as FLU ,it's more serious AND mask wearing is very important .
Record number of 6-17 year-olds being admitted to hospital with Covid
highest ever infection in the community .
Another variant twice as transmittable as Omicron spreading like wildfire.
Every new infection is a possible mutation .
No one can guarantee that new mutations won't get more deadly despite the optimism .
no one knows the long term effects of Covid or vaccines

So £10,000 spent on reducing Virus and improving air quality in the air in a school is peanuts*

*Compared to hospital /NHS costs , Teachers & parents having time off work etc etc

Do the maths, Dave. 9x1900.

Dave doesn't keep a calculator under his bed! 

I've got carpet, floorboards ,that's about it under the bed 
I don't even keep money under there 

What about the cobwebs? 

Nope , it's a water bed
nothing can get under MY bed without a tunnel boring machine ,not even Covid

Sadly I have relatives and friends in similar situations 

which is why I try and debunk the "masks don't do any good" tripe people sprout

We all have to die of something.....quite often it is not what we expect.

I remember when Mike Hailwood died. Brilliant rider who survived years of competing in the extremely dangerous TT only to be killed in a Rover 3500 on a leisurely drive to buy fish and chips.

If I never where a mask again, then it will be a day too soon.

And having had three boosters AND the Chinese Virus, I will be less interested in having subsequent booster jabs.

The booster jab is stalling at around 64%.....so there is a large number of people who remain unconvinced. A further jab would get even less people to comply. Many people in Israel have had four jabs. Has it been effective?....not really.

I don't wear a mask and find it amusing when I see people alone in their cars wearing one while they drive.

I've heard that the covid virus is particularly attracted to the sweaty uncovered arse crack sported by many builders.

There is no escape, Dave.

It's sad that people are that scared that they feel that they have to

Wearing masks is to protect other people and stop the NHS getting overwhelmed 
obviously something you aren't interested in 
as long as you are OK

It is.

Unless the real reason is that their dog has just farted.

You're being virtuous again, Dave.

I find it amusing that the mask wearing proponents hold themselves up as intellectually superior but think that a scrap of cheap Chinese cloth over their face (that has been described by virologists as trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence) will make a difference. 

Incidentally, France continues to post up big Covid infection numbers despite having one of the strictest mask mandates and general restrictions in Europe. 

353,503 new infections yesterday compared to the UK's 89,176 from similar testing data.  Plague island indeed.

The NHS is always overwhelmed by something.

They will be overwhelmed by a massive staff shortage if the vaccination mandate goes ahead. Next winter it will be various types of flu, next summer dehydration and heatstroke.

People wear masks alone in their car because they are afraid, not to protect anyone.

If it makes you feel better, then that's great, but don't expect everyone to feel, or act, the same way.

I should add, that in the 36 or so hours I was away for this week, Mother managed two trips to A&E. Having stabbed her leg with a chair. First to get a patched, and second to get it re patched because whoever did the first couldn't wrap a bandage for toffee

So it would be fair to say that TCV is the least of my concerns.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to ignore the FACT that wearing a mask reduces transmission 

but think that a scrap of cheap Chinese cloth over their face (that has been described by virologists as trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence) will make a difference. 

Any evidence that even wearing low quality masks WON'T reduce transmission  ?
There is plenty of evidence that face coverings and masks have reduced transmission and saved lives .
Even the NHS insist on masks 

Or are you just trying to justify NOT wearing a mask because you can't be bothered or don't care about anyone else ?

The French eat snails and frogs legs and live in France ,so hardly a great example 

Over 2 thousand Covid hospital admissions a day In the UK 
that's hospital beds NOT available to the 6 million person waiting list the UK has 

Whist it is no longer mandatory to wear a mask ,even the government recommend wearing on in shops/public transport etc

Wearing a mask reduces Covid cases ,saving lives
