Yes there was some daft twat on Prospect Terrace wearing one on Saturday. I think he was worried that someone might cough in Oldham and it might make its way 70 miles across the Irish Sea! On a more positive note Boris is now sending the troops in. Now there’s a man firmly in control of his own country! His hellbent desire to run Britain into the ground seems to know no bounds to please a load of PHE covid nuts whose modeling has been wildly off the mark from the start. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8759693/Boris-Johnson-announces-new-measures-tackle-spread-coronavirus.html Edited September 22, 2020 by thesultanofsheight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Exactly. There are so many tough guys that think the rules and laws don't apply to them because they are tough guys, like the pub-crawling Bolton beer swiller, you never know who is out there.

TheTeapot Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think he should scrap the suited up office podium look, and instead go for a knitted cardigan infront of an open fire vibe, what with the arrival of autumn and all. Be calming. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it’s a local scared by media reports The latest thinking is that the virus is spread mostly by exhaled droplets. So wearing a mask is to protect those around you rather than yourself. The figures show the cases are doubling every seven days. It's serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 That's what I find a little alarming. This was quite obvious from the start. I just assumed it was to protect supplies of ppe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the latest thinking, it was apparent from the start that droplets were causative. It's the aerosolised virus that's worrying, lighter, more prone to extended range as more easily carried on a breath of wind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is not as simple as you Edit - sorry, missed the end of that sentence, add 'make out' to it.
