Nigel, Mr Yorkshirepedestrian..who probably lives in Yorkshire?..and you’re in the West Midlands? not going out..as of a few weeks ago. I don’t think Mr Yorkshirepedestrian is a personal threat to your health. That might sound trite but that’s the way you put it.

Have you notice the new levels of control online. ‘Yes, I agree’..Yes..I accepted”
The new levels of control in the supermarkets? Queuing to queue...down the freezer aisle. Great..come in out of the rain and stand in a fridge. Why they only make some machines accept cash I don’t know. Useless. They are creating stress, confusion, tension, fallouts. More than half the bloody tills aren’t in use! Surely OPEN ALL THE TILLS! Get people in and out if they want to restrict us so much. Huh? Common sense. I might just see if I can see a senior member of staff. I think I deserve 20mins after shopping there for aeons. It’s nuts. What’s that? It’s the same in the supermarket you go to? The one I use has a new advert on the television. “And all our staff will be wearing a mask too” Like ‘ell as like..are they. How did they learn that?..that they were all going to have to wear a mask all the time. From management or from the ad?
How anyone can so religiously defend mask wearing is beyond me. They..ie WHO, PHE, and the phoney government are all on record saying they’re useless. ..masks that is..
WHO came out and said not so long ago that they proposed mask wearing due to political pressure..NOT from new research or evidence. Government just thought it was a ‘good idea’. Sorry, they’re a bit fascist like that.

Cheers Yorkshire.
Good health to ya both..

Why can’t peoplet see were being led by bunch of crooks and have been for centuries. I mean there’s only ‘us’ here..and they can pretty much do anything they like..AS LONG AS...they convince the population..’us’..that it’s a ‘good idea’ and it’s ‘in our interests’

That’s all it takes.

First, I agree we are being led by a bunch of crooks but not in the same way as you say. It's far simpler and more boring: they are using their power to help themselves, their friends and their sponsors, even where it is against the public interest. The Tories have never acted otherwise.

Second, of course YP is no danger to me. But what about the chap in my street who thinks the same way as him? Isn't he likely to kill me if I meet him? (Fortunately, it's largely academic, as I don't go out but some vulnerable people on my street do and it's only a matter of time before he kills them, yes?)

Third, there have been differing views on the efficacy of masks between different experts and over different times. All any of us can do is take heed of the great majority, which support them. It is bad logic to cherry pick the minority of outliers who support our own preferences. Plus, it's important to recognise it is the efficacy of not infecting OTHERS that is crucial, not efficacy in protecting ourselves. The former is very strongly supported by most experts.

Fourth, I think we can all agree Trump is ignorant and dangerous. He may yet have killed some attendees in the Rose Garden, in the WH and his Limo, we'll see how they get on.

Fifth, you see control everywhere. But I don't think you should ignore the fact some of the controls are merely sensible health measures. There was a crowd of people waving flags outside Trumps hospital, not wearing masks. They were putting their "freedom" to not wear masks above the safety of their colleagues. They can't know for certain that masks don't work, so they had no right to act as if they DID know for certain.

"How anyone can so religiously defend mask wearing is beyond me." They can't, but by exactly the same logic YOU can't be sure either. So here are 2 ticklish questions, no sidestepping please: can I go down the shops? Will I be at risk if I do?
