The wearing of masks is useless if only some people are doing it - they only really come into play if everyone is wearing them because their primary function is not to protect the wearer but to protect others from your possible germs. If all people had worn them from the outset, along with observing all social distancing rules, then we would have had the problem behind us by now. The softer a lockdown is the longer it will have to last. It stands to reason that wearing anything over your nose and mouth is going to stop some germs - which could make the difference between getting a heavy dose of Covid 19 and getting a milder case. Even wearing a fillet of haddock strapped against the mouth is going to stop something ! I have to admit that wearing a mask for a long period is torture (particularly on a hot day) - we spent 6 hours yesterday travelling in trains with them and I thought mushrooms were growing under it.
 
You’ve forgotten those hit by buses while adjusting their masks.

What if the mask were faulty, hence the need to keep adjusting them.
We’re the mask the main fault of the accident or is someone trying to mask the situation with untruth innuendo?

They lie and they lie.

But this isn't the time to criticise, though.

Certainly is.
It was a huge mistake and all those responsible should be held accountable.
I'd say it was the biggest mistake of the lot.
Most of the other actions taken can be looked at in different ways in my opinion, but not the care home debacle.

Culture Secretary tells
@LBC
it is ‘categorically untrue’ that Government discharged patients from hospitals into care homes without a COVID test He was responding to a report from the Public Accounts Committee, released last night, that states they categorically did.

I personally know of 3 elderley patients released without a test. 2 have sadly passed away.

The Culture Secretary was lying, just as the Heath Secretary was when he said that lockdown happened on March 16th.

These incompetent, mendacious ****s must be held to account, and soon. Manslaughter.

They’d still walk an election tomorrow. Brexit means Brexit or something.
