Be careful mate you’ll have the ranks of the retired hanging up on you because they believe everything the BBC tells, if they actually got out there they’d see the picture is very different.

Was out in Central London last night and most people seemed to be wearing a mask on the tube. There is lots of information about the pros of face coverings. Have read some independent websites as well as Sky, BBC ect. Full Fact is a good site to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So how can you "see" covid and its effects on individuals - without access to an intensive care unit or similar? No-ones claiming people are dropping dead in the street.

Personally I would say that compulsory masking is as anti social as potentially being used as a transmission aid by a virus. Compulsory masking in the context of a virus like covid carries sufficient risk in terms of serious impact on civil liberty to outweigh the relatively minor [zero if outdoors] increase in transmission risk. 2 hours ago, Zinger549 said: Was out in Central London last night and most people seemed to be wearing a mask on the tube.

Well, if 'most people' are doing it, it must be good then You're lucky you weren't in Germany in the late 1930's if you're swayed by what 'most people' are doing. There is lots of information about the alleged pros of masking, sadly not so much about the cons of compulsory masking, though a fair bit of censorship and mislabeling towards anyone who attempts to talk about it. You think Sky and the BBC and independant websites?! Wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nothing impacts as much on your civil liberties as catching a potentially deadly virus, made more likely indoors from an unmasked person. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/213573/coronavirus-more-likely-spread-inside-through/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
