Yes I’m still here, and would rather not go through the 67/68 flu again as I was extremely ill with it, unconscious for three days and ill for weeks. Btw my masks were reasonably cheap from Amazon £5 for a box of 50. Good value imo.

Having already had Hong Kong flu and Asian flu very badly in my lifetime, I’d rather avoid getting ill. Strangely, the Swine flu epidemic only affected younger people so I looked after my granddaughter when she was very ill. It was said at the time it was a similar variant to the 67/68 epidemic...

I don’t know. Possibly some protection? Edit to add, the virus stays alive on hard surfaces for several hours. It’s easy to rub your eyes without thinking, and transmit the virus that way. I still wash my hands regularly and use hand gel.

Vaccines stop you dying, they don’t stop you being ill. I’d rather not be ill, thanks.

Vets wear masks to prevent infection being passed to animals. Noses harbour germs and viruses, which can be expressed with exhalation.

I went to the Watford game, had my ID & Covid passport checked as we arrived early. Just before kickoff I went to the loo. I’m in the north stand, and the concourse was heaving with 95% not wearing masks. I felt very uncomfortable trying to negotiate my way through the masses, and back again to...

Yes. We were tested before returning home.

Correct in your opinion. I have been in France over the past two weeks where masks are mandatory or 100€ fine, and Covid passes checked in every cafe/restaurant. Their cases are lower than the U.K.

Who wears any old bit of cloth? I certainly don’t. I bought a box online high BFE, and PFE filtration triple layer masks. I wear a mask to protect others from my germs.

So, if you need surgery, you will happily tell the doctor and theatre staff, they don’t need to wear masks?

Serious question. How do you know? 175 people died yesterday. We don’t know who they were or where they were, but they were still people with families and friends.

It’s plan B apparently according to Javid. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-face-masks-vaccine-passports-and-last-resort-lockdowns-in-plan-b-for-winter-12407841

Btw, there’s hope for the needle phobic. The French are trialling a nasal spray vaccine.

I was checked for the Watford game. I didn’t go to the Everton game as I felt very uncomfortable in the north stand, the week previously.

I am posting about my experiences and relating other’s experiences. Why on earth would I protest against those rules? I’ve had more vaccinations and immunisations in my 70 years than I care to remember. Some of which have contributed to those diseases being almost eradicated. I didn’t know...

I’m on holiday in France. The NHS Covid pass is accepted here as a Pass Sanitaire. We’ve had to show it at cafes, restaurants and at the campsite to be able to use the caravan. If you aren’t double vaxxed, then you have to show regular negative tests. According to a travel group on Facebook...
