    I spent a week on covid wards armed with nothing but a standard blue surgical mask. They either work very well or I’ve got a mega immune system.

    Yeah I've only ever worn the blue surgical masks whilst up close with screaming covid positive 2 year olds and I've also dodged it so far.

    Our office is relaxing restrictions. Still no change from the work from home stuff but now you can set up at any desk which makes training in person much easier. Masks are personal preference as well. I'll see how that shapes out when I'm back in the office next month.

    Masks do stop the ejection of droplets, which can decrease infection. How well they do that will depend on the quality of the mask and how well fitted the mask is. Since those two vary wildly and no one really knows the viral load that leads to covid infection, trying to use FACTS and SCIENCE to dictate masking policies is futile. With that said, we can use some good, old common sense to decide.

    We basically have a few factors to control risk levels: vaccines, masking, social distancing, and ventilation. Based on those factors, your risk tolerance, and your age/health, you can decide what is or is not necessary.

    If you are a zero risk tolerance type of person, then you will already have your vaccine + booster, yet still wear your N95 even when riding your bicycle outdoors all by yourself. You might be righftully called a numpty (extra lol points if you do this but do not wear a helmet), but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    For everyone else, it depends. Large group of unvaccinated people in a small, poorly ventilated space? Masks are probably a good idea. Disperse, mostly vaccinated crowd in a large, well ventilated venue (say, a supermarket)? You're probably good without masks. If you are vaccinated and outdoors, there really is no reason to ever feel the need to wear a mask.

    I just fail to see how wearing a mask in a shop or somewhere similar is such an inconvenience even if you think they don’t work that well.

    Some people find them an inconvenience, others don't. Just like many things in life.

    I read earlier that 82% of the Great British Public are still wearing their masks. Where?

    I was a late dispenser but had finally given up wearing them until I got to continental maskageddon. Now, I don't know.

    Inconvenience is one thing but the British especially seem to be very militant about them.

    Maybe so. It’s definitely gone way past Covid 19 for them anyway.

    For me masks are the same as ties. They're not an inconvenience and I don't really care when I have to wear them, but given the choice I don't bother.

    I imagine most people are the same. The ANTI-MASKERS and the masked up bike riders are very much the fringe groups.

    Good evidence now that covid can cause long-term brain damage, which explains the state of Taz and Magic.

    What causes the brain damage? Is it the virus its self, of is it lack of oxygen because you struggle to breathe?

    No idea to any of the questions I just saw a headline and took the opportunity to call Taz and Magic brain-damaged.

    Had my booster jab today. It was Pfizer and I was told I might have side effects as my previous two were Astrazeneca.

    Over 200 dead today (within 28 days of testing positive for covid).

    That's not a positive outlook is it.

    Well it was also due to a data issue so some element of multiple days being in the same count.

    BBC News - First pill to treat Covid gets approval in UK
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59163899

    Seems encouraging but the bit about the date being published in a press release and not being peer-reviewed seems odd. Shouldn't it be peer-reviewed before it gets approved?

    Research is really not my area, but my guess would be the trial results were so good that the regulators felt it would be unethical not to push it through. They aren't retards and whilst it's not the same as thorough peer review, they would spot any glaring issues with the trial design etc. which is really what peer review is there for.

    The results were so good they halted the trials early because - again - it was unethical to keep giving people the placebo.

    The drug has been around since 2018 by the looks of things (originally developed as a possible flu treatment) so I'd imagine there's a fair bit of trial data on safety etc. from that.

    I did have some side effects.

    Are of the jab was a little sensitive last night plus I've felt pretty tired for most of today and I've had a headache/cloudy mind as well as feeling a little hot.

    Not as bad as the side effects after the first vaccine but worse than the second one.

    He should just say I'm an elite athlete and I'm not taking anything I don't need to, and I'm rich enough to risk any inconvenience that might come from doing so. I could understand that. The 'doing my own research' just makes him sound like a wazzock.

    It’s schools. No matter how much the government want to deny it and blame other things, it’s schools. My mrs is a primary teacher and they’ve been warned that the line is that all kids that catch it do so outside school. Easier than keeping all the promises they made last year about ventilation, etc.
