Fuzzy Afro Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Btw, I’m not sure that it’s hypocritical to say “I don’t think restrictions should have been lifted, but since they are, I’m going to take advantage of that anyway” I’m no big fan of the monarchy but I’m still going to enjoy the 4 day weekend next June for the jubilee (if she makes it that far given her recent health struggles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it is then hypocritical to complain that other people are taking advantage in the same way. (Like on here, I'm happy to say I think we should be being more cautious but no way am I blaming any other poster for following what are the literal government strategy and guidelines right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I've not seen anyone wearing any crazy masks. My housemate bought a plague mask but never had the guts to wear it in public. Speaking of guts, was very annoying last year at the start of compulsory mask wearing when blokes would just pull their t-shirts up over their mouths. No one needs to see that.

The government flat out told people to do things like that. That’s why we’ve never had a mask mandate in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm assuming the reason we haven't mandated FFP2 masks in public like much of Europe is because of Brexit supply issues meaning we can't get enough of them? Because if we're going to mandate masks we should probably do it right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "much of Europe" Germany has banned cloth masks (makes sense, they're not effective) but still allows the blue surgical ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanoL Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Pfizer was always better at cutting transmission than AZ right? And the majority of those getting boosters now will have had AZ, so stands to reason there should be some improvement even if it's not actually the fact it's a third dose that's driving it?

fraybentos1 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Good numbers in Scotland today for cases. Just over 2k even including extra ones from yday that weren’t processed also schools have been back a while here. Wales down on last week too. Expecting a big drop in England at 4pm too.

Oops sorry must be Glasgow then. Just assumed it was everywhere. Either way, Glasgow is only higher than Shetland atm for case rates.

Very masky and no bar service. The young lady serving us had her mask around her chin just to complete the experience 😀 Came across one of those in Liverpool the other week but it was a city centre bar.
