What's even funnier is seeing people take their mask off to sneeze, and not into their hand or anything either?‍♂️ lol

What's the solution here? I've constantly wondered what happens if you want to sneeze in asda? Do you just do it into the mask and suffocate on your own nasal mucus...or quickly remove the mask and catch it in a tissue? What if the sneeze happens between taking your mask off and putting the tissue to your face? These things just don't bear thinking about ?

I had my MMR jabs as a small child...I went to the Doctors a few years ago with a lump on my neck, after 2 different doctors checked me over they said the think I had mumps. I said that's impossible i've had my jabs, they said oh it doesn't always work. Great 24 years old and I have mump, missed a great party that night :(

Yeah no vaccine is 100% effective, look at flu jab for instance. But does reduce your risk and in case of measles protects others and babies and that who can't have the vaccine; which unfortunately due to reduced takeup is leading to more baby deaths and life changing complications from measles ?.

It's easy to get hooked into the alt theories, but not having lived in a pre penicillin era, hard to understand how shit the consequences where before modern medicine treatments existed.

? personally I'd sneeze into my elbow with the mask still on. If ends up a really wet messy one, then probs remove it and go find alcohol station.(that is hand alcohol not the whiskey isle?)

It was 50% effective, I only had mump on one side so just looked a bit like Quagmire. No other symptoms

As for people saying its infringing their rights,
a) how much of an inconvenience is it really besides been told what to do

b) do you drive on both sides of the road? No. Why? Cause it's for yours and others safety. Don't hear protests saying I want to drive on both sides of the road do ya! ?

While you are technically correct, the rebuttal would be that driving on a public road is optional and not considered an essential right. To drive we have submitted to a public thoroughfare, requiring permits and registrations of both driver and vehicle. On the other hand, simply leaving the house and existing as a person in public space is not optional and is considered a much more severe infringement on your personal existence. I am for personal freedom more than many here, but this is also a technically weak argument as western societies we have already established a precedence for regulating covering the body in public spaces (non-nude beaches, for example).

IMHO the argument for masks is stronger than the one keeping me clothed walking down the street. No right answers, just whole lot of grey....

(Anyway, I just wanted to say "rebuttal"... in my mind it sounds like "butt hole")

Yeah I guess that is a fair point. For me the mask wearing is more showing I value society and looking out for others. Reciprocated altruism as it where. Don't fully understand why some people are so against it. Perhaps a better example is you expect people not to spit in your face or you theirs.?‍♂️

As for butt hole, seen some posts saying Jean's don't keep farts in so why bother wearing a face covering made out of similar material. My reply was, if it's a wet fart, it keeps the shit in your pants ??

??? never had a flu shot, never had the flu.. besides a very minor sore throwt or slight cold every other year maybe (runny nose) I barely get ill or run down ..ones at work often say have you not even had your flu jab? Or simular things our work will actually pay for? "Nope" to someone sneezing and shivering most of winter

Wait so the flu is made up too??
 
Was just on the blower to my missus back home yesterday, and she says her and the kids have been trying to get used to wearing masks this week already.

She said it’s not too bad but the biggest problem is she keeps forgetting them. Gets to the shops and realises she’s left it in the house ?‍♂️

I imagine it won’t be long till shops have them available at the entrance in case you’ve forgotten to bring one. They will then charge you for it as you buy your goods, similar to the plastic bag surcharge.

It’ll be Morrison’s masks for life or something ?

Street sellers banging out masks 3 for a pound etc. Or vending machines full of masks.

There’s profit in this pandemic ?

As for the vaccine changing DNA, erm that not how they works. RNA in some form that get "ran" by the cell to produce protein spikes for the body to make antibodies to. Or others are a disabled version of the virus which still creates an antibody response which is still just RNA. (There are other vaccine methods too)

You might mean crispr which is a way of editing dna, but that would fail safely tests and be very evident. The vaccines are gonna be extra scrutinised, it also wouldn't generate an antibody response afaik. Also they said even oxford one wont be available next year as the larger trials for safety testing will take at least that long.

Oxygen is actually toxic at certain partial pressures. I'm more worried about the microchips that can fit down the bore of a needle and control people #starTrekIsntReality. ?

Happy Friday ?

Edit: ps it won't be mandatory we gonna march you to your docs and force you to have it. Well except maybe in China ?

Pps: as much social contact as possible? Lol, troll fridays?

Wait till you wear one with a hangover mate, it had my absolute life.. tbh anything pushes you past the point could be a stray tumbleweed crossing the path enough to knock me off my feet when I'm lagging but still it was an additional headache.

I'm exited to see what gimic novelty masks the luckies are dishing out ?
 
Just met 3 fellow none mask wearers in lidl.. everyone else wearing including two couples ? the couples if you have some time to watch them while shopping, they act like mutes just pointing at things and nodding or shaking head.. notice it's usually the female that shakes head.. not much change there then only she can't see you say Fckn bitch behind your mask... Lol

Haha ? I never thought of that. A whole new avenue of sales has just opened up for the Lookie Lookies:D?
 
To be honest you get used to the mask... It's like anything when you are told you have to do something you want to rebel

I don't mind wearing the face mask now... It's really not that bad can get a bit sweaty under there with the heat but that's life

Most important is bars and restaurants don't have to sit with them on

As for vaccine I will be getting it when it comes out... I am not going to be first in the line to get it when available but I will...there will be some hard core checks on the vaccine before released to the masses anyway

Who knows there maybe some places in the future that only let you in if you can prove you have been vaccined
