It's definitely your business too.
You seem to have ignored the point I posted earlier that it was the couple who asked me first why I wasn’t wearing a mask! It's definitely your business too.
It started off ok, but seems to have descended into "anyone I disagree with is a conspiracy theorist" so is a bit of a waste of time frankly, but at least most of them stay over there doing (very) amateur level psychology.

Just being honest but I appreciate I'm asking for a "Are you calling me a liar?" response.
Anyway, wasn't the post about you being asked why you weren't wearing a mask an entirely separate incident from the one where you asked a couple why they were wearing masks? I'd suggest that's why you were given a bad time about it.

I've not seen anyone with a mask on in a supermarket near my home in SE London for a year or so. Or where I work in central London. Perhaps that's just London though.
I’m nearer 7 on the metaphorical London clock face to your number 5. Have you really seen so few masks in that time? I’m curious as the now-normal background level (in itself is a number way above none and quite noticeable) has quite clearly been increasing over the summer. They’ve increased by such a margin I asked my wife if there had been a resurgence in articles about covid in the Guardian or on Radio 4 or chatter amongst mums or whatnot that might have been partly behind it.I’m not sure whether it might be a very localised phenomenon as this borough has taken in several thousand Hong Kong Chinese over the last couple of years and mask wearing in public amongst that community was very obviously well observed, and very obvious to observe, and while mask wearing by that community has fallen off a cliff over the last x months I wondered if it had helped normalise mask wearing once more or helped encourage “locals” to conform. I dunno.
Of course it’s entirely possible this is all unique to the Sainsbury’s I visit (that is literally overlooked by a development that houses many of the Hong Kong Chinese mentioned above) while the Asda, Tesco and the Morrisons I don’t mirror your experiences not so far away.
FWIW my mother (a Church Warden base outside of London) reported this morning that she has recently received communication from her Bishop outlining covid mitigation policies going forward and encouraging parishioners to keep up to date with boosters and so on. Meanwhile my wife’s (Outer London based) Mum and Dad somehow seem to have become far more excitable about covid over the summer. It does appear that covid awareness/chatter is on the rise.
CDC say (cloth) masks are useless against smoke particles, and advise to stay inside when smoky...(why not advise an N95...
)
Can we get a size comparison of various particles, just to check that masks are still really good at filtering out the covids?
.
Oh... (Not sure how well the text has come out, the blue dot on the left is coronavirus)
It's almost like masked people were coughing when it was smoky, thus providing proof that the mask was doing diddly squat against smoke. They still work as well as they always have against Covid, obviously. (Re the bold, that's factually correct, if you allow for how effective they were in the first place
)

Have you "moved on" Limpsfield? You and all the coincidence theorists in the other thread whom all have allegedly "moved on" from the Covaids seem to spend an awful lot of time reading this thread and pasting the content there. Extremely odd behaviour from people who claim to have long since forgotten about the Covaids and have moved on with their lives.
I think most people have moved on haven't they? And thank goodness for that.I notice my suggestion last time for those of you who feel a great injustice has been perpetuated to start a movement\campaign to perhaps at the very least have a parliamentary enquiry into how Covid was dealt with\responded to fell on deaf ears.

Page 1001 on here, I note.
I suspect there are a number of PH contributors of a largely.........supercilious nature shall we say that are chomping at the bit, fingers poised over keyboards or tablets waiting, trembling, in anticipation, to wade in on the next Volume of this thread.
Place your bets on who will be first.

There's a massive parliamentary Covid inquiry underway (results due 2025?) Can we claim a win there?

Whether it goes "our" way or not is rather a different matter. Sadly I suspect not

This whole thread has taken a really strange turn, and I hope it was not due to my post about the old couples in my local Sainsburys.
My post was a genuine observation about individuals at my local supermarket wearing masks when I could not understand why they would be doing so.
As I said earlier it was the old couple ( that’s unfair by the way as they were probably only 10 years older than me!) that asked me why I was not wearing a mask that prompted my post here.
It was just what I observed on a normal day going to one of my regular local supermarkets for a quick shop.
And now for some reason I’m branded a CT Freak, which I don’t really understand, it really was just me going to do some shopping and noticed that a lot of the other people in the store had masks on, which i found a bit bizarre?
Still clearly now I’m a total CT freak?
As I said this place gets weirder by the day.
Don’t worry ignore them, it’s the usual people that trot over here for a windup, or they do it from afar in a thread that I have no idea how it still exists as it’s basically passive abuse of other members. Ignore them, don’t respond. My post was a genuine observation about individuals at my local supermarket wearing masks when I could not understand why they would be doing so.

I too have noticed more masks, and only the cloth ones. I don’t think people are that scared, they’ve got accustomed to a ritual now and just can’t let go of it. Sorry state of affairs.

Not sure if you're due a parrot, or I am? Or even which side of the Great Mask Divide you are on. Unhelpfully this graphic doesn't have snake particles but it does have droplets, which is perhaps where you are heading? (Smaller, up to the same size as smoke particles). Which might be peachy *if* the virus wasn't airborne Certainly feels like 2020 again wrt this discussion at least.

Well if it doesn't, and I say this sincerely, why don't those of you on here who feel really strongly about it start a campaign and try and get something done?https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/

Posting on here about it will achieve nothing. As much as I think he's a prize walloper, look at what Farage achieved going against the establishment.
