CV and mad panic behaviour

Done, official from 6pm Frid

Think you will find a lot of medical clinics, allied professionals will still want mask wearing for the cooler months not just for Covid but for the normal flu strains etc. They do seem to have proved effective in curbing spread and I think we havent seen the last of them.

And that's fair enough also, I will have no hesitation wearing a mask when asked to in a particular setting.

I find them useful when robbing banks, servos etc.

When you walk into a servo or shop wearing sunnies, baseball cap and mask (as I often do), I cant help but say to myself "this bloke thinks Im here to roll the joint".

More signs of politics in this vaccine saga, Europe has effectively shut off supply, Australia will go exclusively with it's home grown AstraZeneca version.

What a change a week or so ago AstraZeneca was poison in Europe and nobody wanted it, now it's more precious than gold!

Actions expose the folly of words!

Can't agree EB1 as there is zero science that supports the proposition that masks do anything (good).

To digress, the whole 'fear', lockdowns etc. is based on the concoction of asymptomatic spread.

Otherwise, why wouldn't you just quarantine the symptomatic and sick?

A person has no symptoms and no illness = next to no viral load.....this is basic stuff. And widely accepted by the WHO, even into 2020. Fauci too, for that matter.

You accept that (asymptomatic spread) is BS - which again studies show it is (or so remote as to be a statistical irrelance), the wheels of the whole things fall off.

Completely.

The EU is run by buffoons.

Bullcrap!

Science has completely confirmed masks reduce the transmission of droplet born virus by as much as 85%.

It is true that the type of masks the general public wear might not stop aerosol based infection, primarily because the general public do not use disposable masks correctly, but that is a different thing altogether to droplet transmission. However, Dr Cath Noakes has noted controlling air turnover in buildings has a significant influence on reducing aerosol transmission. Aerosol transmission is considered to be very unlikely in open or well ventilated spaces.

Interestingly preliminary indications are this Influenza season will be less prevalent primarily due the wider global use of masks in public spaces.

Science may or may not support it Fly but three medical services, GP, Optometrist and Podiatry we use in our area are all going to persist with mask wearing on their premises for the winter months as well as the 1.5m spacing in waiting rooms.
Went to the RSPCA today at Burwood to pick up a script for the dog and they were also still in lockdown mode, no normal walk in entry, masks and seat spacing in the vet area and only one human allowed in with the vet.
Have another appointment for the Dog next week and was told the same conditions are still applying.....
Its obviously up to each individual business how they wish to proceed but with winter coming and vaccines still rolling out I think some will be more cautious than others and continue some of the same Covid precautionary practices.

Oh absolutely EB,, and I was always willing to wear one in a supermarket etc for the sake of others.... not trying to tell people what to do individually!
