    You'd have to guess at 28. Which is a sobering thought. That there are actual adults, that society depends on to function and move forward, who think like this.

    Do the ones who can't believe this, can't believe that, safety of myself and family, inconsiderate bar stools etc etc wear a mask whilst sat at Oakwell, yes its outside but within about 8ft front and back, left and right you have probably 8 other people, just for clarity I'm vaccinated plus the booster, I know its real. If I was in fear of inconsiderate people the last thing I would want to do is sit in a aluminium tube with 200 + plus other people at 35,000, if it was work related then I would have to but is it worth taking the risk for a week all inclusive in Benidorm?

    It's been done to death. There are that many angles. At the end of the day it's been that pathetically implemented and policed that it's ultimately down to the individual and their conscience.

    Your post is the perfect illustration of the misplaced intellectual snobbery of a huge tranche of Remain voters, that's for sure. And I say that as a Remainer myself.

    Little chance of common sense/decency when our f*c*wit of a leader is prancing around a hospital maskless

    But our resident virologist, Prof. MDG (B Sc Hons), says there's "zero scientific evidence" that masks work, so I know who to believe!

    He actually achieved his qualifications at the same university that Red Rain developed his totally non-subjective, scientifically accurate perfomance indices. Fantastic pedigree.

    Yep, I'm curious too. No doubt Prof. MDG can tell us which news channel it went out on as well.

    Am convinced that was just done deliberately to act as a diversion tactic, given the debate going on at the commons at the same time.

    I think you give him too much credit. Particular as there are numerous showreels of official pictures with him wearing a mask after he had been latterly asked to wear one.

    Don’t understand this mask business and the need for scientific proof.

    When I wear a mask, I notice that my breath sort of gets trapped by the mask. This leads me to think my breath doesn’t go very far at all with a mask on. This makes me think it might prevent the spread of an airborne virus. Could be wrong but it’ll do for me.

    Boris should have worn a mask. Not doing so in a medical setting gives a bad impression. Especially as hospitals have had such a big percentage of covid deaths from people catching it there.

    Ah so you ignore the fact that the virus can live on surfaces for around 72 hours (ie a face mask), which is then transferred on to peoples hands, then onto other surfaces.

    The virus dies far quicker when exposed to UV rays which would happen when people don't wear masks especially outside.

    The number of discarded facemasks on the pavement, on tables in bars and cafes assisting in transmission.

    Studies done recommending the wearing of masks rightly suggest that they may assist in stopping the range for instance if someone coughs or sneezes under the mask. But they don't look at the other conditions pointed out above in terms of how the general public wear masks and the variables such as taking them off and putting them on a table, throwing them away in public... You are quite welcome to disagree, but why disregard thee points when peoples actions IMO outweigh any slight benefit in wearing a mask

    So it's not ill informed whatsoever, but I don't expect you to understand debate based on your last comment.

    Sithi.

    So that "zero scientific evidence" bit is not strictly true then is it? :rolleyes:
