masks help, hand washing gel routine works perfectly, open your windows, fresh air is better than stinking airco

but the most important thing about this, that everyone also needs to do all of this, you don't have a choice, corona does not choose a side, it is a danger to us all

but getting the elderly and vulnerable vaccinated will be good to drive death numbers down (closer to zero a day)

Everybody who is not vulnerable should get coronavirus to achieve herd immunity, or at least a very good form of it for months+++.

Masks and washing hands don't help. Some girl got covid from putting her hand in a random jacket pocket. People have died from getting spat on.

This is madness. Herd immunity is the first thing this government tried causing the NHS to be overwhelmed and the deaths to rise. Sweden tried herd immunity and are suffering from it today, far worse than any of their neighbours. I can't believe we're 9 months in, and this is what you believe.

Crazy stuff.

Are they suffering more than us? Actually no. Only China are to blame for this regardless are much as people want to make out other countries to be worse. It's embarrassing when there is an obvious answer to the ChinaVirus.

It was tried though. Unofficially, but it was definitely tried. Boris gave speeches about how we would be carrying on as normal and staying open, which is how herd immunity was tried, then he went on with Phil and Holly and raised letting it spread through the population. That's how we were worse off than countries like Italy and France from the off.

Blaming China doesn't really do anything though, does it?

What would I do?

It's currently out of control, so I'd implement a full lockdown again. I understand why they don't want to do it, but we're rapidly losing more and more control by the minute.

....is this real life?

Ask yourself this, if she had washed her hands after going in the random ( assuming it was not her pocket) pocket, would she have got covid or not?

Masks do help... they help a lot in everyday circumstances. Have you seen the vapour test? I can't find it but there's a very easy way to test the effectiveness of masks. Breathe into a cold room...see your breath?
Now put your mask on and repeat that.. notice how there is significantly less vapour in the air?
That's how masks reduce the risk of transmission.

However.. as you say if you are open to infection if someone spits at you as droplets may make their way through your eyes. That's hopefully not an everyday occurrence getting spat on and the 2 metre distance rule helps with that.

Face Shields might be better if at high risk of being spat at.
