“If the infection rate stays so low I can't see any reason to maintain the duty to wear masks in shops,” said the state's economy minister...Calls in Germany to remove requirement for masks to HELP the retail sector.

That sounds very like the arguments here regarding masks. They are ahead of us here, so anyone advocating that masks will help retail get back on track needs to watch what is going on over there.
At the same time, as a counter -argument, is this b
ks: Germany's Health Minister Jens Spahn said he was opposed to the idea of getting rid of the requirement to wear masks. Spahn wrote on Twitter that he understood "impatience and the desire for normality". But the coronavirus is "still there".
Of course it's "still there" It will probably always be f
king 'there'.Aaaaaand this morning as if by magic, Masks to be made mandatory in all public settings and the workplace for at least a year..
Still, it’s no biggie... get ready to be seeing that phrase used often as the rules come hard and fast.
The government have seen how many are still begging for their masters to keep them safe and are rubbing their hands in glee.

I am simply staggered by the number of idiots on this thread that think the face coverings mandate is about catching COVID.
No, it’s the other way around. It’s to limit spreading it. It’s called source control, and there is masses of proven info out there on it. An easy example right here from the CDC.

What’s so hard to understand about it? What rational objection is there to it?
It’s no coincidence that the UK has BY FAR the highest COVID death rate in the World. It’s full of dick heads who all tragically think they know better.

How long do we think the muzzle wearing bks will go on for?
Schools go back some 6 weeks after muzzle D-Day: perhaps they will insist on school kids wearing the damn things, & therefore teachers? School buses are going to be interesting enough as it is......
I really hope this nonsense gets overturned ASAP, or perhaps someone in HMG has vested interests in the mask factory that is apparently ramping up production just in time for next week??
Our workplace has already agreed that if muzzles are mandated in offices, we will not comply.
Several staff have cancelled holidays in Spain, as the thought of sun bathing with a muzzle is utterly ridiculous: can you imagine returning home with a perfectly bronzed body, apart from a rectangular white patch in the middle of your face?!?!?!

It doesn't There was a chart posted earlier that showed this......by conveniently omitting most of Europe.
The highest death rate in the world is in Belgium and the UK is slightly higher than Spain and Italy.

You then add in the lack of international comparability as different countries are recording Coronavirus deaths differently and some are further behind in recording them than others.

The governments advice as always is balls up arse backwards.
When virus transmission rates were rising and all the way to the peak why if the risk of transmission was so high in shops did they not mandate masks at that point, to "protect the nhs"?
I mean they closed all pubs and other places people could gather and spread it.
That I could understand that I would have agreed with.
But they havent done that, like with quarantine, they fragged that up as well, they waited weeks to close down airports and other entry points, not to mention just waving folks through after they eventually got back here, its all been too little too late and a complete fkup.
Like their hand washing advice, every 20 minutes.
What a crock that is.
If ive been in the house all day long the only time i need to wash my hands is after ive taken a dump, gotten them dirty outside or before i make a meal.
Every 20 minutes makes no sense, just like the introduction of masks now at this point in time, its utterly schizophrenic,its simply a case of "look we're doing something".
That fact that theyre doing something isnt necessarily indicative of doing the right thing.
Thats why I call bullst on masks at this time, thats why they can shove their diktat up their backsides, thats why Im not wearing one, its pointless.
What a bunch of clowns this lot are, very unimpressed by them so far, maybe corbyn would have been a star after all.....

Normally I’d agree possibly scaremongering but as the media seems to be being implemented as a pre warning system this last month I’d say this is imminent.

My office have agreed none of us are wearing seat belts or crash helmets and we are smoking weed every lunch time, indoors, now we know these kind of things are merely suggestions that can be overturned on a whim. We also insist on nudity on sunny days for that all over bronzed adonis look, having agreed to not subscribe to indecent exposure laws any longer....

Yes, I've noticed a pattern, too... but maybe that's just because I'm mistrustful of the government and media - uncomfortable bedfellows usually, but at the moment they can't help but 69-each other in a frenzied masturbatory covid-clinch.Normally I’d agree possibly scaremongering but as the media seems to be being implemented as a pre warning system this last month I’d say this is imminent.
It does raise the question, though... is s
t like this a genuine leak, is it bled purposefully to monitor public opinion, or is it a government unsure of which way to turn and taking it's direction from media (social and mainstream)? Either way, the answer is not acceptable.Plenty of these around
