On March 15, this same expert said masks “make no difference at all”.

This was wrong at the time & is wrong now.

The govt were wanting to let #coronavirus spread as part of their the covert, unscientific & deadly #HerdImmunity strategy.

Here's the full clip.

Caprice - quoting an WHO expert in the @FT- argues the UK should impose a lockdown, screen arrivals at airports & wear masks.

She was ridiculed, not just by Ms Jarvis but by the tabloids & even @MrNishKumar on #MashReport. #COVID19
Due to govt inaction in Jan, Feb, March, there were shortages of surgical masks (& other PPE) at the time of this interview. Some speculate that is the reason that face masks weren't encouraged.

Supplies could have been sourced before now (late July).

In the same week the govt were saying it was absolutely fine to go to the Cheltenham Festival, one person was calling on the UK to follow WHO advice, impose a lockdown, screen arrivals at airports & wear face masks.

That person?

Caprice!

This clip is from 15 March

Since the start, the govt have tried to claim ownership of “the science” with Vallance, Whitty, Harries, Doyle etc. saying things that often contradicted WHO guidance & defied logic.

Every so often the science “would change”!

This is why the public have become so confused.

Stanley Johnson & Caprice were being invited to tell us what they thought!

Even though Caprice was quoting a WHO in the @FT she was mocked.

Rather than being given clear scientific facts, we are fed spin.

Four months after Caprice said it & three months after Gary Lineker said it, the govt finally see sense. #CapriceWasRight
This was @OliverDowden telling @piersmorgan that the reason for finally banning mass gatherings & closing pubs was that “the science had changed”.

This is not true.

The science has remained the same.

It tells us if we do not take measures (e.g. set out by WHO) people will die.
A guide to face masks.

Which one should you wear?

Please where a mask.

For 3 months the govt & their “experts” said their was no evidence that face masks made a difference.

This review of a century of evidence shows that masks DO block droplet & aerosol contamination & will reduce #COVID19 transmission. brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/evide…
On 14 March, the same week that 250,000 people were flocking to the Cheltenham Festival, Caprice - quoting an WHO expert from the @FT said the UK should follow WHO advice, impose a lockdown, screen arrivals at airports AND wear face masks.

She was right.
A sneeze can travel up to 8 meters.

An unmasked cough from someone with #coronavirus in a supermarket (or a car showroom) can leave pathogenic micro droplets in the air for several minutes.

Please wear a face mask.
