That's the second time this week that you've posted something that looks like it accuses me of spinning things, instead of answering with any coherent argument of your own. :sad:
It was an observation about how people can draw different conclusions about statistics in the absence of totally reliable data. They tend to conclude what they want to believe. We all do it. Don't take it as an accusation.

This week's Freakonomics Podcast discussed the ethics which inform some of the decisions facing medical professionals during the crisis. Found it interesting (although in many ways concerning) to explore a different strand than those on which the mainstream media usually focus.

I wonder when it be that masks do actually help - we seem to have changed our minds on so many things ....
Of course masks help. Witty gave the game away yesterday, he said that there isnt solid evidence they work, but they need to be given to the nhs rather than the general public. He also said they are always reviewing evidence. Bet my bottom dollar that once they have sufficient supply to the NHS that they will suddenly find evidence that they are worthwhile for the general population too.

It builds into a different approach imo. Everyone is shitting themselves at the moment thinking "how can I avoid catching it"........where as the angle should be " how can I avoid passing it on"..........

.....and as you say a supply of masks !!!!
