Masks, depending on which ones clearly do work...And no I'm not including these cloth ones many are wearing in the false belief they do work! Surgical is the bare minimum and that only protects those around the wearer, and not the wearer themselves from everyone else.

N95 bare minimum.
Or half face masks with suitable filters(these ALL have exhale valves so none of this alleged Co2 suffocating/reduced blood Oxygen levels bollux)

I do agree that quarantining and shutting down the economy was highly questionable.

Personally, I'd have quarantined the elderly(anyone over 55)/vulnerable with co-morbidities whilst allowing the rest of the economy to go on as normal(but with mask wearing when in public mandatory)

Economy chugs on as usual.
Most vulnerable kept safe

Shutting down the economy though has not been wise.

The idea that we can lockdown until the virus goes away and then go back to the way things used to be is mistaken.

The Covid virus doesn’t show any signs of going away and it will be years if ever until a safe vaccine has been developed and tested. Covid isn’t going to go away any more than the common cold is going to go away.

Just as we accept the risk of becoming a road traffic casualty every time we get in a car - we will all have to learn to accept the risk of Covid if we want to return to anything like normality.

Those who fear the virus the most can isolate themselves if they want – the rest of us should try and get back to normality.

With a presidential election coming up, Powell is unlikely to disappoint.Paul Ashworth, a US economist at Capital Economics, said: "The Fed is very close to introducing changes to its policy framework that would explicitly allow for an overshoot of the inflation target to compensate for the undershoot over the past decade. Those changes to the long-run goals and strategy statement, which are likely to be discussed by chair Jerome Powell in his Jackson Hole speech on Thursday and incorporated at the next Federal open market committee meeting in mid-September, will probably pave the way for the introduction of additional monetary stimulus, albeit possibly not until later this year."... The Guardian... Share price of LLOY up a notch about 3pm. My consideration. Just me.

Gecko, I don't think the pandemic is a scam either, and I don't believe many people do.

I do believe that managing a somewhat elevated mortality risk by the destruction of the economy is, at the least, a value judgment that may reasonably be questioned.

And I feel almost certain that compulsory mask wearing is about being seen to be doing something rather than any real benefit it brings.

Some common sense at last.

"What are the odds bobdiamond's a global warming crank?"

I'm not a global warming crank. I do not believe in man made global warming.
BUT

I do believe in this virus being worse than the flu - and wearing masks is common sens if only to reduce the viral load in the first instance.

Comparing Asia infection rates/deaths to Europe/Americas ample evidence mask wearing is a positive contributory factor to containing/reducing impact of Coronavirus.

And having lost a perfectly healthy relative with no co-morbidities(just age the sole factor) I do not believe this is "pandemic" is a scam.

And it's certainly worse than the flu, on so many counts.

The Heart/Lung long term sequeli alone make it worse than the flu.

The warmists are in the position of the prosecution in a criminal case: they are the ones wanting us to change our whole way of life dramatically and it is therefore for them to prove their case. This they have signally failed to do, but instead they have engaged in as dirty as propaganda war as you are ever likely to see.

It's not enough that they have used figures that are manipulated, falsified and sometimes even outright fabricated - they have conspired to destroy the personal lives of the many scientists taking a different view. All this is proved from their own internal messages.

Or the melting of Siberian perma frost which also has the potential to release large amounts of methane.

Plenty on here think global warming is a hoax. Even worse, they are not prepared to give it 'the benefit if doubt' to make sure the planet is safe for our loved ones and future generations.

I can accept the doubting, what I cannot accept is the stubborn ignorance that might bring down all of us.

[bobdiamond1] 27/8/2020 10:58

What are the odds bobdiamond's a global warming crank?

Scare stories are bread and butter to these people.

Grahamite..Yes I do believe in global warming, so to your tiny mind I am a crank!

I love it when lesser intelligent people like you (morons) post such inane nonsense. You don't believe the scientific fact that the ice caps are melting, so those who actually do believe the years of science studies are cranks.

To be called a crank by a moron isn't so bad! LOL

So long as you don't take it seriously or use it in your decision making process.

The danger is that some people do, and they seem to have assembled on this thread.

[maxk] 27/8/2020 10:55

Nonsense make the world go around Alp.

Most of x5's stuff is total nonsense. Lapped up on this thread.

He will be laid up in a couple of months thank goodness.

[cautios7] 27/8/2020 10:46

xxxxy, why do you post that nonsense. Of known cases which is thought to be way below the real amount of affected. Today deaths stands at 822k from 24 million reported cases.

It's all a scam.

There are some cretins on this thread.

Ditch the masks

Stop social distancing

Enjoy your lives its the only one you'll have!

xxxxy. Go and tell that to the relatives and friends of those on ventilators or already dead. The only life they had has gone!!!

You are a saddo. Most sane people put their trust in Science only the idiots believe this virus is a hoax, a sniffle, a conspiracy.

[grahamite2] 27/8/2020 10:30

jacko, it's not just that the Blairs, Majors, Heseltines and the rest of that grisly gang wanted us in the Euro. They claimed that failing to join it would be a complete catastrophe. They were wrong, of course, as they are wrong about everything, but Project Fear is the default setting for euromaniac propaganda.
