That would never get through parliament. There are a lot of Tory MPs who are decent human beings and not caricatures. And then there's the Lords. I'm sure 3 months ago people would have said the exact same thing about putting the entire country under effective house arrest. Believe me, it would get through and the lords are irrelevant anyway as any legislation can eventually be forced through. All the lords do is delay it. |
Coronavirus: TfL reveals 20 busiest Tube and train stations 'to avoid'
In article , Basil Jet
writes It is obvious that wearing a mask makes the wearer safer.. it would defy the laws of physics if it didn't, Rubbish. Assuming it's the typical mask that the public buys, the virus sticks to the outside of the mask and then has time to migrate in. But it doesn't fly off after it's migrated out. Which is why it protects others but not you. (My source is a senior researcher on influenza and Covid-19 at the CDC in Atlanta. I'll believe him any day.) -- Clive D.W. Feather |

I think cheap masks also don't fit well enough to protect the wearer. |

Do you really believe that a single virus landing on the outside of a mask has a 100% chance of migrating in and infecting the wearer, so there is 0% chance that the mask could save the wearer? -- Basil Jet recently enjoyed listening to Blue Aeroplanes - Fruit (Live 1983-1995) |

I didn't say that. But it's almost certainly not a single virus instance. Yes, a mask might reduce your risk by 0.001%, but that's not what the person on the Croydon tram would call "safer". -- Clive D.W. Feather |
