Only up to a certain size, & droplets carrying virus particles can be smaller.

Erm



that's what i'd read too

Right, a nice and two chocolate biskits, and then it's time for a girly pamper session.

Erm...I disagree.

The University of Hong Kong medical school did a study in Spring of last year and found that masks reduce the rate of infection from 66% to 16%. This study was replicated by Harvard, John Hopkins and Yale Universities in the USA with similar results and, shortly after, the WHO changed their advice re masks.

Also, if masks are so ineffective, why then are the mortality rates here in Asia way lower than in the UK/Europe? Some of the lowest mortality rates from Covid are here in the Far East and all East Asian countries have mask wearing in public a legal requirement.

There's no evidence yet that Covid will be seasonal either. The scientists don't know that yet as the virus keeps evolving.

Anyhoo, dinner time.

Apologies to @Andy in Germany

A colleague came to work in the morning and then disappeared within 10 minutes.

He booked a day off today and forgot it.

I did that once

I think I might have to cancel my evening ride as I can't find my snorkel and flippers.

I really need to clear some space on my hard disk.

I was considering inserting a bigger one but it appears it can't be done on this model of (el cheapo) laptop.

My son and daughter are doing their martial arts lesson in the house (via Zoom). They have been doing these sessions outside as my son has a series of moves to do using a bo staff (approx. 5’ long piece of wood). Today it is raining.

I moved the TV, the ornaments and clock. There is still the window and light fitting. My son has been reminded that the bo staff has two ends.

I’ve never felt so stressed

 

[Andy in Germany]

You never mentioned the wind.

Didn't you send it?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Nah, Why does it always rain on me".

His hat'll stop them falling on his head.

I know why @classic33. I know why.

And I didn't have my Akubra today either...

The Dutch study showed no statistically significant evidence https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33205991/

I've seen nothing of those studies, where are they documented?

 

[Reynard]

Well, you can't have mine. I be needing them.

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, have emerged feeling pampered and pretty.

 

[Reynard]

Right, time to feed the cats and then it will be time to feed me.

 

[classic33]

Didn't you send it?

No, not me this time.
