Didn't someone say a couple of weeks back that it was over? I did. That article is a perfect example of the headline and first few paragraphs leading the reader to a different conclusion than the subsequent data otherwise would. I don't think the data support more restrictions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also it is quite clear that the UK government is promoting this latest Covid 19 hoax with such fake news simply to divert attention away from their failure to stand up to the EU in the trade talks. Dream on Balti. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 Oct 2020 As the article alluded to, frontline workers should get those masks first and then the general public. Frontline workers in the US STILL don't have proper PPE. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is not true, although footwear may be required under the house rules of shops, businesses or other venues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 Oct 2020 Ha! I'm having a john g. moment. This reminds me of the time early on when I took Himself into a grocery store in South Carolina and two big, fat dudes came in with no shoes or shirts and bought a case of beer. These days, they actually have to have signs on the doors that say shirts and shoes are required. (Guns are allowed) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you receive compensatory damages from the store, because of this ordeal you and your husband had to go through? I mean these disturbing images must have remained for a long time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure, there'd need to be a proper system in place to prevent this from happening. Tricky. 3 hours ago, Krieg said: So not free. Free - as in distributed by the government free of charge. Naturally financed in the end by the users via taxes yes. But then people who can't afford them wouldn't be without - which is important to stop the virus from spreading and keeping people safe. It can't be that we end up with a situation that corona continues to spread because of poverty. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
