* He is completely bonkers and believes every conspiracy theory known to humanity, including the Illuminati fabricating this fake pandemic to allow them to insert microchips into you via the "vaccine".
Giving no personal information away, we used to have a lady who believed that she had a microchip in the end of one of her fingers.
So much so, that when you were doing her physical observations, she wouldn't let us put the O2 pulse oximeter on that finger at any cost, in case it enbedded itself further into her body.

Furlough has been life-saving - you have to give them that.

That might have been good enough for Sunak to be the Heir to.. to... to whatever.

But the Conservative Party moves in mysterious ways.

I'd put money on Shapps if a gun was to my head.

If you are genuinely exempt from wearing a mask, is there some established manner in which you can inform anybody who might challenge you about it?

Where I am, in the last two months, I have only seen one adult not wearing a mask when they 'should' be - and everybody knows why he isn't*.

Would that be generally considered to be a reasonable excuse?



I have also had this conversation with someone in Hampshire, a couple of days ago.

He asked me "Are people wearing masks over there?"

Yes, where they should be.

I don't think there's any point.

Well, there is - and there's no harm in doing it anyway, is there?

There's no point, if they don't wear them all the time.

Well, it doesn't matter anything like as much outdoors, though a lot of people here will leave them on if the next shop is close.

They should wear them in the street, too - if you're just putting them in your pocket, there'll be all sorts on it.

Do you wear a mask in a shop.

Yes.

Do you wear a mask in the street?

No

Where do you put the mask when you're in the street?

In my pocket.


...at that point, I gave up...

The response I usually get is 'well obviously they don't work because the numbers keep going up':clap:

When we move into a Tier 4 area, you must follow the rules below. This means that you cannot leave or be outside of the place you are living unless you have a reasonable excuse. You cannot meet other people indoors, including over the New Year period, unless you live with them, or they are part of your support bubble. Outdoors, you can only meet one person from another household. These rules will not be relaxed

From the British Medical Journal

"The rapid test kits most widely used in UK detect just 48.89% of covid-19 infections in asymptomatic people when compared with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, real world data from the Liverpool pilot have shown"

So this is actually worse than nothing - in fact it is dangerous

The presumption should always be that you have the disease

This basicallyfuckseverythingup for those who think, because the slack jaws don't do detail

I've come up with a test that picks up 100% of positive cases and you get the result instantly:





















Just tell everyone "Your positive".

If the government can send me my £15 million, I'll get it rolled out straight away.
