COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Haha I know, the idea of the mask is it doesn't slip down and you don't touch it, otherwise your bloody hands are contaminated.
My nursy wife cringes when she sees this happening.

I moan every time I see idiots wearing masks inappropriately, especially when they are on TV, and that's quite regular, my wife moans that I moan, but what's the point if you don't cover your nose ?

...wife went into Post Office, used her mask inside, in and out in a couple of minutes ...I'm pleased to say.

What a difference six months makes. :-)

Seeing the photos of people queing up to get into Sports Direct at Crown Point North in Denton proves the virus has effected peoples mental health in a big way

Yes there are thousands (probably tens of thousands) of idiots raving and jostling in sales queues. There’s been millions of people volunteering, helping neighbours and refraining from going to work eg at the expense of their money savings they once had (if they are not funded by Government schemes).

Assuming these recent crowd scenes (demos, raves & shoppers etc) will result in new cases of infection, how long does it take to become evident?

Does anyone know why Spain stopped reporting deaths ? I don't think there have been any for 2 weeks, which is highly unlikely I would have thought.

I heard the guy on radio 4 who had written an article about this. He thought the motive (or excuse) behind Spain only reporting deaths that had occurred in the last 24 hours (other deaths are reported regionally IIRC) had been to give a more accurate current,!accurate picture. It might just be about PR and tourism of course but we have seen here lefties always quoting Tuesday‘s or Wednesday’s figures (that eg included delayed reporting from the weekend so they can say we are worse than the EU combined) and Hancock highlighting lower deaths at the weekend. All the deaths are very sad of course.

We'll know by the end of the weekend

Has there been any upsurge in new cases since the lock down restrictions where eased a few weeks ago?
