Surgical masks exist to stop spittle from landing on a patient. Anything more is cope.

You make me laugh. No matter how hard I try to explain that the EU is democratic, but just in a different way, that I don't want parliament to be secret, just the voting of its members to be done in private, that "silent praying" is fine, but intimidation is not and that whilst persecution is never acceptable, nor is restricting the rights of people not to hear, or give space to, things if they choose not to. Deciding you no longer want to represent someone, or cancelling their booking, is not persecution. It's the precise opposite. It's freedom. I have been watching "Rise of the Nazis" on iPlayer. There are several episodes. Whilst the events themselves are all pretty well known this is a detailed exploration of the motivations and psychological mind sets of the senior Nazis, explained by some very well qualified experts. There are chilling parallels to some attitudes around today, providing lessons which ought never be forgotten. Why do I mention this? If you haven't seen it then take some time and do. It's well worthwhile. Then, perhaps, you will understand. The EU are worse than FIFA

That though is not the only reason they are worn. Coughs and sneezes can pass viruses both ways. Restricting that also makes sense.

The difference between conspiracy theorist and the truth is about 6-9 months. Everything has come true that the "Conspiracy theorists" have said about covid. The only thing the Covid Zero / lockdown Zelots are good for is spreading mis-information Edited by eaglesdare (06 Mar 2023 2.35pm)

Masks and hand sanitising were important steps to make in areas of highest concentration of persons. It brought out a lot of the bad/selfish characteristics in people.

The enquiry will look at all the evidence, in its context, and determine what lessons are there to be learned should anything similar be faced again. I will be very surprised if it shows that, on balance, not locking down would have likely produced an overall better result. Until then, I reserve my opinion, but believe that in the circumstances at the time, given the knowledge at the time, it was an entirely appropriate decision.

Restricting the distance and spread of a heavy viral load doesn't imply stopping it completely. It means what it says on the tin. It restricts it. Which is better than not restricting it at all. Having to wear a mask during the peak of the pandemic, before people were protected by vaccination, was a small price to pay for any benefit to be obtained. Not least the reassurance it gave to others.
