People wearing masks are a constant reminder to social distance and follow new protocols.
Without them its easy to forget about COVID....even if it just for a second and shake someones had, give them a kiss on the cheek etc.
I remember when the whole social distance thing came out and they had a big political seminar on the matter and at the end of it, the bloke giving it went to shake someones hand. *Doh*
See someone in a mask, and remember to stay away from them

Fair enough, so why couldn't they have some discrete breathing holes to make them more acceptable when mainly used for that purpose. Obviously the "real" masks would still be needed in medical situations etc.
Reality always wins in the end.

The better masks might be twice as effective.
But if they are 1% and 2% effective, it doesn't matter a whole lot. (example only)

I think you'll find it pretty good, Fluffy One. Helped me to really grasp this social media/Facebook/Instawhatever stuff and it's ramifications. The doco also looks, briefly, at the good that it can do/has done. The interviewees are sensational, no agenda, just the facts and really, really qualified to speak on the subject. Love to hear what you think. Cheers.

Dear oh dear. Apparently we are only just removing security guards from one of the quarantine hotels now on the back of infection control risks.
Who on earth is managing this shit show? Why have we gotten to the end of a second wave before we are even taking action on this problem? How is it, that the vic state governments quarantine procedures have been under scrutiny since July, yet here we are in October repeating the definition of madness?
How is it that Scott Morrison has not mandated something be put in place about it?
This is beyond the joke now. Its like watching a live studio version of Utopia being played out in front of us.

Dan wont get out of this pandemic alive. Was never going to happen. Id rather we not sacrifice one lamb and have a good hard look at the system and its short comings, and its time to turn the blowtorch on a federal government.
If they can get away with hiding behind state politics, we either need to get rid of state politics, or get rid of the national politics.

The naughty child doesn't keep stealing the lollies after they are are caught and put under observation, the best time to use those services was probably the minute after they were publicly exposed!
( Fwiw, it reminds me of getting corporate security travel advice to areas like Columbo and Jakarta, they always use to tell you the best time to travel to those locations was straight after a bombing. Not because travel was easy or convenient, but because official observation and alert levels were raised. )
Who was running it, maybe there is more to the former Health Minister's demise than we realise?

Dictator Dan is more focused on changing the laws to give his government more power than protecting us all from the virus.
