I'm one of the common people and come from such stock, but common people who believe in conspiracy theories and support Trump, yes, I'm a real snob about those. As for the efficacy of masks, I have my opinion, based on what I've read, and it differs from that of those people.

Having not gone out for six months thereby proving science right, I'm not a fan of anti-maskers, nor of people who wear masks but not over their noses. Call me eccentric but there we are, I think delusions and ignorance both kill grannies and can't help resenting both.

My hairdresser said “it’s like it’s not real” “exactly” I said. I make a point of talking to people when queuing/shopping. The long queues seemed to have moved inside over the past few days. People confused as to where they should be. Sometimes you have to queue and sometimes it’s a free for all..which on pretty much every occasion I’ve been in causes friction between both customers and staff and customers. Isn’t food shopping stressful enough? Wait..What am I saying. .? It causes confusion/friction amongst people. This however does give me an excuse to comment on this to someone else..and then I’ll say “I’m only wearing this mask to please other people..every time back..”so am I.”
I can tell you, it’s refreshing to hear other people (Anna Brees channel) talk sense, common sense. ( a good proportion I should say )They’re looking for themselves using their ‘gut’ There’s a few Trump supporters there but don’t let that put you off..I’m not sold on the idea Trump’s a ‘white hat’

So..Anna Brees?? Herself?..Dunno.

..I trust most people on there not to have an agenda.

We really must be able to listen to each other. I think Neil Oliver does a grand job here..*did well not to use the ‘F’ word. No not that one the other one. (*apart from the nobody knew this was coming bit)

Could be transposed to many a situation.

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been out much. That’s not healthy for a start.

If you have not gone out for six months I'm afraid that does not mean you have "proved Science right". It doesn't prove anything except that you have not gone out for six months. Your much-needed daily intake of viral bloom and bacterial updates will have pretty much flatlined - making you (and everyone else who hasn't gone out for six months) very vulnerable to respiratory infections. Using your current logic that might mean an endless extension of Lockdown & not going out for the rest of your life & always wearing a mask. That is your kinda Science and Proof?

No hospital treatment for a dehydrated 96 year old grandfather who was unable to stomach food WILL definitely (100%) kill him. Ask my son about his grandfather's death in a Care Home. His granny is fine and Covid-Symptom-Free - despite being locked down with her 96 year old husband with a respiratory infection for months. Science was not even involved nor was proper medical care beyond sedation and rolling to prevent bedsores. No testing and no post-mortem. Where is the Science you speak of? There was no testing of staff at the home which had pretty much zero PPE until the end of May/ early June (long after my Dad's death). They are still all fine. What is THAT Scientific Proof of..?
