I understand the mask theory, but my point is that most are ill fitting, causing an increase in people touching their faces and most are not storing them correctly or not washing them frequently. Unless they are the surgical mask type, disposable and fitted correctly, they are causing more harm than good. I'd rather people keep their distance and see more hand washing stations than people wearing masks

I cant see how anybody can accurately say that masks are causing more harm than good. At all.

A couple of posters on here think that , suspician about the timing of the immunity study has been said this morning alone , i dont know why people cant accept facts on a pandemic , i understand wanting to hang on to good news but imo you should face facts as well

There is no conspiracy about why we have to lockdown or why we are trying to keep people apart , it is no great play by governments to take away our ciivil rights . They could do well to educate themselves about a really interesting virus , a lay person is able to understand it if they tried

The immunity study is the immunity study. It tells us nothing that we didnt know back in August - only that the same applies to Brits as is does to Chinese, Koreans and Japamese.
The survey doesn't cover memory T-cells or other forms of immunity.
When they come out with a paper on that I shall be interested.
For now I just say Meeeeh

There used to be a thirst for knowledge, Karen. If you wanted to learn about something, you would go to the library and read books that had been written by eminent professors on the subject. Now people sit on social media and absorb shit posted by a crackpot in his bedroom. No questioning what they're reading just take it as gospel. It's fucking scary. People believe absolute shite about young earths, flat earths and mass control experiments, all in the face of overwhelming evidence. The human race is fucked, because, it would appeal, cunts breed faster than non cunts. We truly are heading towards an idiocracy.

Because plenty of people are constantly touching them, wearing them under their chin or just covering their mouth and not nose

Irrelevant except for not covering the mouth or nose. They stop the wearer spreading the disease

Ocams Razor says the initial epidemic happened when it escaped from a lab in Wuhan and hat the subsequent spread was down to the Chinese government being happy to let it get out of China.

Yeah, social media can be great but it can also spread some ridiculous stuff , my general gripe these days is we no longer have any imagination and like you say a thirst for knowledge , people just believe and repeat without engaging their brains and learning about things themselves

I always read , search out the facts, read and learn and form my own opinion , when it comes to this virus i am captivated by how ingenious and ruthless it is , i love learning about it as much as i am terrified about it . As with everything scary, if you front it up and understand it you can take some control

i would argue that Occam's Razor would dictate that in a modern interconnected world, coupled with slight fatigue/apathy over flu like viruses coming from China, the virus was completely impossible to stop from leaving China's territory.
