The situation in the UK right now is complicated, with increasing cases while vaccines keep the very worst consequences at bay. However that makes no difference to the status of this as a contender for the most stupid statement of the pandemic bbc.com/news/uk-politi…
I wear masks at work unless alone in my office. Compliance is pretty good though not universal all the time. These are people I know. There have been no outbreaks there as yet. And we would know as we are all tested weekly
While I am at work I see people I know. Their ability to infect me is not altered by my knowing them. Most infections will be by someone you know
But enough. I should accept that the original statement has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with posturing. If we try to assess it in terms of science or reality, we are not grading on the same curve
