Variant of concern in South Africa

Fair enough I’m out, I have strong views on this and I’m sick of seeing my kid’s education and best years ruined. I’ll stick to the football and music threads from now on

That’s very different from what you just said though. Also I don’t think anything got announced about kids? They’re still going to school.
 
I really don't understand the issue of masks. Obviously you can debate level of effectiveness but an infringement of human rights? Really?

We have a government who seek to close avenues of safe passage, to turn asylum seekers back at sea, in contravention of Maritime Law, and reduce your right to Free Assembly. These are significant reductions in people's rights.

Fight the correct battles.

So do you think refusing to do anything at all to stop the spread will protect things like education or make harsher measures necessary?
 
I'm well disappointed in society - can you imagine our current population during WW2?

Hitler isn't real
I'm not doing a blackout
Underground shelters are a way to control us
I'm not sending my children to the country

Everyone knows... hands, face, space is the way to stop this virus spreading ... it's honestly not hard

I must admit this has crossed my mind many times. Imagine 70 odd years ago ordinary citizens of this country, conscripts, were finding out they'd be in the first wave storming Hitler's Festung Europa, risking life and limb in the name of rights and freedom.

Cut to today ................................ We are being asked to wear a mask when we go in a shop ....................... "Mwaaaah, mwaaaah, but I don't wanna 😭............................" Cry babies, sort yourselves out.

I don't get why people need to shout from the rooftops when they aren't wearing one OR wearing one? 🤷 It's not a competition.
 
I am exempt until you can point me in the direction of any country or state where mask mandates have brought down cases/hospitalisations/deaths. Other than allowing virtue signallers to sneer at their fellow human beings they are useless
So, you're not exempt, you've just exempted yourself?
 
Pfizer already saying that they are optimistic that their vaccine will hold up against the new variant. I’ve however that some scientists are saying this could be a completely new virus and we’ll need a new vaccine— who knows as it’ll take a lot more data to see where we are with it.

Wow.
 
If people don't want to wear a mask that is completely up to them more power to you. However, if you are just doing because its a very minor inconvenience to you... stop being a little b***h.

Was the mandatory mask wearing an instant thing or is it something that will come in shortly, I can’t see it being instant, the shops in Redcar today, I would say about 80% not wearing them still??

From Tuesday.

I still expect plenty to ignore it, but I've bought a bunch of disposable masks in preparation.
