And I wouldn't say double masking is as mental as Magic's Novid nonsense, but it's certainly towards the other end of the spectrum.

No I’m saying the exact opposite - we can’t get rid of it. Getting rid of it would make it “over”.Originally Posted by Yevrah
So you're planning to double mask forever?
I doubt you’re in close contact for extended periods with 20-50 different people a week in your job either.
Masks will be around for a long long time here, it’s in all the plans. I wear a single one on all occasions where I won’t be in close contact with work people for extended periods, and 2 for those times.
Fair point. It's not been great for other reasons, but from that perspective I've been pretty privileged throughout this whole thing. I'm pretty sure I'll catch COVID one day though and it may even be what kills me.
That doesn't answer my question.
I worked all the way through it with zero working from home and I didn’t catch it at any stage, so I’m not going to change my routines now when it’s worked so far.
So you're going to wear a mask (or two) forever?
As any person would, I’ll review the situation for myself from time to time but if things stand as they are now then I’ll be masking yes.
We’re not as rabid about them here anyway so even if the vast majority aren’t wearing them it wouldn’t be nearly as taboo here to keep wearing one.
I think the only place I've worn a mask in months is London Zoo, where you have to wear one in certain bits to stop the monkeys getting it.
So what will need to change for you to not wear one?
I haven’t given it much thought at this stage as, apart from some mild discomfort behind my ears once I’d hit 6 or 7 hours in them, it doesn’t bother me at all wearing them. I’ve forgotten to take them off at times.
Lad, just sort out your lifestyle and you can rejoin society by taking off your muzzle.
I have not given a fuck throughout this whole period and I only caught it after a year so suck that you paranoid bell end. And yes I've been in contact with loads of random cunts FOR EXTENDED PERIODS.
What are you doing, shagging them?
Quite a leap there when 1 in 2 people are currently dying of cancer.
I know we're tight now n' all, but you might wanna have another crack at reading the words I used there.
Sorry bro. Mad respect.
1 in 2 people have cancer at some point in their life, they don't all die.
It was one in three before. What happened there?
More people live to a million and eventually get cancer, probably.
I'm not sure there's actually any benefit to wearing two masks. I only wear one normal surgical mask when I'm restraining 3 year old screaming unmasked covie kids, which is hospital PPE policy.
I don't know much about cancer, but presumably that suggests something we're increasingly exposed to is driving the rates up.
Masks on public transport makes perfect sense even without covid as some people are genuinely revolting.
166,000 deaths a year. Annoyingly, that does work out at 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 depending on location and detection and gender. Well, that's put me in a mood.The average rate of cancer incidence in England was 593.2 per 100,000 people, but this varied across the country from 556.7 per 100,000 people in London to 630.3 per 100,000 people in the North East. - 4 Jun 2018
Is anyone actually looking into why we're getting more cancer?
I hear about awareness all the time. I hear about how shit it is when you have it all the time. I hear about fund-raising for it all the time. But I don't hear about why we have it more. It can't be that hard to work out, surely.
I've already given you one reason. Medical science is better so we keep more people alive until they are really old. Once you get really old you're more likely to get cancer. So more really old people = more cancer.
Obesity must be a biggy too.
Are the rates the same among younger people then?
Yeah, awareness and screening goes a long way. The preventable ones linked to smoking, sunbeds and obesity make up around 40% of the total.
My knowledge of cancer epidemiology is probably little better than yours. I'd imagine it's higher for lifestyle reasons like obesity as Spikey says.

Open the "All cancers combined incidence trends by age" tab for exactly the information you're after.
Unregulated chemicals could well be a big deal too. That documentary about Dupont and C-8 still weighs heavy on my mind.
Where the fuck did that come from?
And I don't doubt it incidentally, but since you're spoiling for a fight, the way you've worded these posts suggests you don't actually know.
EDIT: Sorry RL, misread your post. Ignore me there.

The "All cancers combined mortality trends over time by age" is also interesting.
Indeed. But also, what about regulated ones?
I think you've taken that the wrong way. He's just saying he's no expert on cancer and isn't sure.Where the fuck did that come from?

I have, I read "a" little better.
Sorry RL, my bad.
Errr...I wasn't remotely looking for a fight. I was just saying my knowledge of cancer epidemiology isn't any better than average despite me being a doctor. No I don't actually know, but they are educated guesses.Where the fuck did that come from?
And I don't doubt it incidentally, but since you're spoiling for a fight, the way you've worded these posts suggests you don't actually know.
Sorry, my fault.
Ah no worries, I was really confused.
Shut the fuck up.
Cancer is going up because the population is increasing, more factors that can't be linked as variables keep emerging (vaping for example, stuff like that will likely take ages before conclusive evidence of the risks comes out) and as previously mentioned people are living well past their natural life cycle. People don't die of 'old age' anymore, I'd argue my 80 year old grandad did even if it was the lung cancer that finished him off.
You're even tetchier than usual. What's up, sweetie?
Those graphs are interesting, but why does the incidence of cancer one only go back to the 90s while the deaths by cancer goes back to the 70s?
Gammon probably causes cancer. Sit your short arse down.
My guess would be that data for deaths is easy to get from death certificates, which have been around for ages, whilst incidence statistics were not recorded so well until more recently.Those graphs are interesting, but why does the incidence of cancer one only go back to the 90s while the deaths by cancer goes back to the 70s?
That would make sense.
This page doesn't sit right with me. People apologising for a misunderstanding? This is TTH you cunts. Now get back to shaming those who don't want to catch Covid.
I'm a twit
