They’ll simply decide that they weren’t done properly and needed to be longer, harder and more restricitive
Although possible they have absolutely no evidence that that would work either. They already know, if it makes an iota of difference, that lockdowns are ruinous to society. The longer the lockdown, the more ruinous. Whatever ‘they’ find and ‘they’ decide, I ain’t doing it, no matter the consequences. And I think I speak for many.
Amen
So typical of them
I don’t care whether lockdowns and masks “work” or not. I’m not doing them for the flu/a bad cold. Normal life is much more important.
Amen. I second that. The motion carries.
I do wonder if these quangos would be missed at all if they were obliterated (yes, I mean that literally) because they appear able to do nothing other than contribute to government’s effluent overspill.
I’ve noticed a marked increase in public mask wearing hereabouts in the last couple of weeks, regardless of actual evidence or politicised ‘consensus’ change. For some, the mindf*ck damage is in too deep. Sad.
I observed this very morning a lady in her car driving along with a mask on, her husband (presumably..) sat in the passenger seat with face uncovered. Could be an interesting conversation over breakfast..
Indeed. I keep seeing couples in the supermarket where one is bemaskec and the other not. I wonder whether they cohabit and did they travel to the shop in separate vehicles
I’ve not noticed where I live, but in 2020/21 there were quite a lot of people not wearing masks and I never suffered verbal abuse for not wearing a mask and wasn’t aware of anyone else being subjected to this. Apart from constantly voting SNP it seems like Scots have a certain amount of common sense.
They should have read the bsi-guide-for-personal-safety-equipment-0520 v1.4 June 2020. Remember that in the UK, most of the junk sold to the public were NOT classified as “masks” – indeed, they would have tiny labels that say no (if you had a magnifying glass to hand), so as to avoid being done under trading standards. In the BSI guide they were classed as “face covering” and it said that: “The manufacturer/seller must not call it PPE or a medical device nor make any claim that the product will provide protection to any specific individual ”, and “General product safety regulations (product must be safe i.e. non- toxic, non-choking etc) ”. In short, they were of no physical value at all.
I’ve still got a copy of that one. And I never bought any of them.
So, ‘surgical masks’ were they?
It comes to something when NHS hospitals have face nappy mandates for more of the year than when they have not enforced this violation of human rights. But facts don’t matter in Clown World, seemingly. Anyone here in Leicester? Stay healthy and stay out of hospital. You also have the bonus of not being ‘Matt Midazolam’d’
”People in some parts of Leicester’s hospitals will be required to wear face masks again after a rise in coronavirus cases among patients.
Face coverings are now needed in clinical areas of the Leicester Royal Infirmary, the Leicester General and Glenfield Hospital, senior medics said.
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) insisted the number of infections were “low”.
However, it said the step would protect, patients, staff and visitors.
UHL’s chief nurse Julie Hogg said: “We are constantly monitoring Covid-19 levels in our hospitals, and as a result we are reintroducing mask wearing in clinical areas.
“The number of patients testing positive for Covid remains low but has increased, and we are determined to ensure the safety of patients, colleagues and visitors to the hospital.
“Mask wearing is not mandatory in non-clinical spaces, such as offices, lifts, restaurants and corridors, but we will keep the situation under review.”

The UHL Chief Nurse obviously knows the square roor of sweet FA about aerosol viral transmission. How the hell has she risen to this position of authority?!
I live in the Leicester area. I wonder what will happen if I need to go to hospital and refuse to wear their stupid muzzle. Will I be denied access? Denied treatment? What a world.
Yet more reason to look elsewhere for treatment and to take care of ourselves as a matter of urgency. How can these people be trusted with needles and scalpels if they think wearing a cloth over one’s mush will safeguard anyone.
The Conspiracy against “We, The People” was NOT a Theory. Shame on those who remained silent in 2020/2021. ALL Th evidence was already there.
