When you are travelling to work,happily not masking up because this useless Government has said it’s fine, then bring this S Korean study to mind, remembering they take epidemiological studies seriously.
See Case 1?
That’s typical underground or bus at busy times.
At peak times it is even worse. A crush.
And Covid rates are higher here than they’ve ever been in S Korea.
You’ll be blissfully unaware of who is infected and who is not.
Particularly as the S Korean dishes out better quality masks than most people wear in 🇬🇧
In this study they discuss both grade of mask and fit of mask and point out that both these factors could make the risk of transmission worse than in these diagrams
This shows all 4 scenarios.
And this reminds us that the effectiveness of quarantine policies ALSO affects outcomes
And we have a Government whose approach encourages reckless conduct & too many who are willing to risk it for themselves exposing others..following this Gov’s visible conduct in Parliament.

Because his boss at the Telegraph, Brexiter Charles Moore told him to.
No doubt also because there are so many examples of corrupt practise in the pipeline - so they set about undermining the investigator and Standards Committee
When Johnson led almost 250 Tory MPs into the House of Commons division lobbies on Wednesday, he will have noted the sullen looks, but one Tory MP said it was worse than that: “There were MPs in tears going through the lobby.”
They KNEW it was wrong but went along.
Inexplicable
Uncle Tyrone went first. On his way to the hospital in South Florida, he implored his niece Lisa Wilson: “I want the vaccine.”
“You can’t get it now,” Wilson told Tuyrono “Tyrone” Moreland, who was 48
Wilson’s grandmother, Lillie Mae Dukes Moreland, who raised Lisa and nine of her own children, was next. She’d decided against the vaccine. It was too new, she thought. Plus, some members of the family had counseled her against getting the shot. At 89, they said, she was too old.
In late August, she came down with covid-19, was taken to the hospital the day after Tyrone’s funeral and died less than 24 hours later.
The next day, Aug. 31, one of Wilson’s cousins died of covid complications. A few days later, another cousin, and then a third.
Whilst cause of death has not yet been attributed, both these young lads were in a school, St John Fisher, Stoke on Trent, with high Covid levels last half term
And let’s not forget the number of reprimands against Johnson himself in relation to repeated failures in transparency re financial interests
This party that expects everyone to “take it on the chin” even when they have done nothing to deserve “taking it on the chin” is so packed with big girl’s blouses they can’t even take the most reasonable rebuke that they have richly RICHLY deserved on the chin.
