All politicians lie. It is a core part of the definition of the word politician

No, that's just lazy, politicians can be evasive, economical with the truth, answer a different question, but rarely do they outright lie. There are a few that lie all the time. Trump lies, invents his own reality. Johnson does the same.

Pretending they are all the same is to give a pass to those that lie. Voting for politicians that do lie, enables them and the damage they do.

What a weird bastard virus this is..symptom list is bloody endless pal

Yep, it’s weird wondering what’s next.

 

[Rammy Blue]

exactly the point, soon just breathing will be a symptom and then we can't do anything.

That’s the problem though, as laughable as it sounds, the vast majority of the most common symptoms now are the ones of regular colds - snotty, sneezing, headaches, sweats, chills, sore throat etc - but believe me, you know when you’ve got covid as it’s like nothing else.

While face masks may afford little protection to the individual wearer, they do act as a psychological deterrent and nudge surrounding people into maintaining a degree of distance.

I wear a mask that gives me a minimum of 94% protection. I don't understand why everyone doesn't wear one.

Is that a FFP single-use mask? If so, perhaps the cost is prohibitive.

They do provide very real protection though.

This is from a Harvard research paper from almost a year ago - the multi-layer cotton facemasks most people wear reduce droplet count by 95%.
