Yes, yes, here's a handy page from Sweden's Health Ministry with their spokesperson Minister for Health Lena Hallengren making some spokes person comments about something she has nothing to do with.
Out of interest, what exactly are anti-maskers afraid of? Or paranoid about?
Everything, because as someone mentioned above they are (on my FB feed at least) the same people posting about 5G, anti-vax, bill gates is an evil alien overlord, etc.
I know exactly what she does, I live here.
I don’t think they’re afraid of anything. More that they’re the type of people who want to defy being told what to do at every turn because it’s all part of a big government conspiracy.
Ah yes, I have read theories regarding Corona and 5G and the anti-vaxxer agenda and I can fathom how some people find those arguments convincing. They are nonsense of course, to anyone with half a brain, but still they have some minute degree of logic that perhaps convinces certain people.
Yes, of course you know all about it, we're fully aware that the Head of the Ministry isn't in charge of anything despite being named the Head of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs but your point was that Sweden is pissing all over plenty of other countries. And my point was to point out that Sweden is doing so well pissing over the four countries you named but not pissing all over Sweden's neighbours or in fact the US and has a worse death rate. You then tried to shift the goalposts with your 'oh but we're not at the end yet are we?' Missing the point that both you and I and the media articles were talking about at this point in time Sweden is pissing over all four of the earliest and worst affected European countries, and not, at the end of the pandemic.
We don’t need a magic ball to look at current trends mate, that’s why predictions can be made during pandemics.
Just bore off Reggie. Current stats say Sweden has a worse rate of death than it's neighbours and even the US and the economy and tourism is tanking just the same as plenty of other countries
Apologies. I think it's done now as far as I'm concerned, you can only try and keep the goalposts in place for so long before losing the will to live.
Agree with all that.
Mate... It's not paranoia. People wear masks mainly to protect other people, rather than themselves. Maskless people are being antisocial disease spreaders. They are like people who refuse to wear deodorant on a hot day (although far worse). Shame on them. They can feck off.
If this is true it is not the right approach from Tesco in my opinion.
His mask is camo, so they couldn’t see it.
If you are wearing one of the surgical type masks, push the metal strip down over the bridge of your nose. That should reduce the fogging considerably.
Why is not?
You are talking with a flat earther, anti-vaxxer, chemical spreading conspiracy theorist believer.
Unspeakable ignorance.
I'm surprised he hasn't got scientists inside inverted commas, along with 'health workers'.
Why can’t people seperate mask wearing from politics? It’s a common sense approach to stopping the spread. Seriously, grow up.
It must be exhausting (and unhealthy) getting that worked up over wearing a mask for 10 minutes in Tesco.
A lot of what youve said about Japan is not quite true: the one truth is that about 99% of people wear masks. A lockdown happened, the entertainment industry saw dramatic reductions in customers, immigration and airtravel stopped and generally Japanese people never took to the social distancing concept.
For starters, the advice is for facial coverings:
Thanks, didn't realise. Wouldn't have bothered if I'd known.
My friends in Japan (especially in Osaka for instance) certainly gave the impression that they never really locked down. Certainly their social media was far more busy than anyone I knew in Europe or Australia.
Been the problem throughout with Scotland and England taking a different stance. It's shite.
It's all about stopping the transmission. Japanese is known to have a very high level of self-discipline and if everyone is wearing a mask when they go out, a hard lock down is not really necessary.
Don`t forget Wales , still don`t have to wear a mask in Wales and no one does . There are folk here from all over the place on holiday and know one wears a mask . Wales the petri dish of the UK .
