Regarding general colds mate I would have thought it’s better not to wear a mask.

We need to catch colds to build up immunity against them.

The reason every man and his dog are sick right now with colds or otherwise is because we didn’t catch anything in 2020.

Yes but during the winter months wearing a mask in public spaces (e.g. public transport) wlll reduce infection rates.
When you don't know how bad the next bad Flu/Covid will be a useful tool - especially for older people.

I’m not a virologist so don’t pretend to know but my guess would be immunity rather than lowering the R number would be better with stuff we get every year.

This article is pretty much bang on when it comes to SAGE, its models and its wider influence on public policy.

Chris Snowdon, the author of that article, was a friend of sorts at university. Nice enough guy, and obviously intelligent, but incredibly contrary. Would argue black was white just for the hell if it. Seemed to fall down a bit of a right-wing rabbit hole a while ago, and is now making a successful career of it. Suspect if it was a Labour government making these calls he’d probably take a polar opposite view.

Ok, anybody want to explain what the mask requirements are from tomorrow morning.
Talk about vague news. Most articles brief over with "supposed" mask requirements to the end of February.
They honestly don't seem to know what the exact mask rules will be.
So i can go into the pub without a mask, but B&Q???
Public transport???

Thanks in advance!

From what I read there are no changes till the 26th?
And the it will go back to what it was, so no legal requirement but downto individual businesses to chose if they want people to wear or not when on premises etc.

That's what is confusing.
I read one report that states covid passes and masks for pubs and restaurants will be scrapped.

Staggered return for people working from home from Monday. No other information to explain.
