Finally an example of someone using "an old rag" as a mask. It's someone who believes the virus doesn't exist. And this wasn't accepted.

I wonder what levels of ecstacy Crumple is in over the deaths from Covid?

This is why I don't rely on the UK gov for info about the virus. They've been shoddy from the off, mostly to protect their interests and those of their sponsors.
I can't really see the point in understating, or overstating the figures.

Ultimately the governments will be judged on the number of deaths they could've prevented, and how much economic and social damage was caused.

Yeah, you'd think so - but Tories have been claiming we're doing as good if not better than anywhere else since March. It's something they're obviously primed to do in every interview.

I've just found the info from The Lancet, the BMA, Imperial etc less burdened by the kind of Tory moralising and excuses that some might call obfuscation and others might just call lies. There's also a few Epidemiologists now posting articles and videos that explain the matter in some scientific detail but more broadly aimed towards a layperson like myself.

Ever heard of politics?

Not quoting official Dutch figures? Or is it embarrassing? No mandatory masks yet and you know what we have halved the number of cases in a week. :funny: :funny: :funny:

But that is typical UK Brian; Always the best when clearly jangling at the bottom. Now out of the EU they can claim anything they want but now with absence of Shitface Trump they are very much the idiot kid not invited to the party and left standing outside listening to his own echo.

Seriously? Do you think I actually care about the machinations in your little parliament?

Fact is the law is coming in because, masks work.

It is not and who is going to impose it anyway? Only in your little mind. You are like a kid and you just dont understand. Pathetic. You really are.

So it is going to be a law in the NL but nobody is going to pay any attention to it - a bit like not pissing in the street in Livingston or not having sex with yer mom in Saltcoats? :tea:
