To Mask or not to two - Mask Megathread cont.

Back to talking about stupid people and compliance.

New? We're over a year and a half into this, are we not? How is this basic messaging new?

Will they get around to doing up a few posters to remind people to open windows as well? Or will we wait a few more years for that one to come along?

Probably wait a few more years. The Anti-mask and Anti-vax crowd don't seem to be in a rush to end this.

The mask poster was probably the best of the bunch, even though I would have preferred 'Don't be a knob, cover your gob' or 'what's with the grin, cover your chin'....

Anyway, here are the other 3 of the suite.

Comms has been a total failure. Regarding ventilation 'open windows' is at the bottom of the list on the thumb print looking poster. Probably drive the conspriacy T's crazy...

The big V is unspoken about a lot as there is an irrational fear within the upper echlons of the HSE that it would distract people from the core principles of droplet spread, which is handwashing, keeping your hands away from your face and distance and therefore increase risk.

NPI's to be be consolidated into one Act.

As a general rule of thumb, vaccines were seen as the only way out by the those who supported droplet theory with distance and hand washing as the only NPIs to contain and or spread out infections.

In 2007 Micheál Martin's Pandemic Influenza Expert Group published a dumbed down version of lessons from past pandemics by the WHO from the three big pandemics of the past century.

Vaccines were sold incorrectly as the entire game ball to many.

The message still needs to be hammered home. Anouncements. Adds. Leaflets etc.

I have to deal with the public sometimes in work. We are behind a plastic screen with an area cut out to exchange cash. I'd say about 20 percent of people will actually bend down and stick their head into it. Another 10 percent will pull down their masks as they do it to communicate. About 50 percent or so of kids will stick their heads in. Only a few parents will stop them.

We just have a sizeable minority of idiots here unfortunately. Absolute zero enforcement of the law from the guards doesnt help much either.

WHATADICK. Heads were onto him so he has fessed up a load of excuses. Lists Mobile Phone Accountability as one of his things on his INSTA.... that worked out well for him.

Nphet to discuss requirement for primary schoolchildren to wear masks.

The National Public Health Emergency Team has recommended the wearing of masks for primary school children from third class upwards. The move will be reviewed in mid-February.

It has recommended that children aged nine and over wear masks on public transport, as well as in retail and other public settings where the rule currently applies for those aged 13 and over.
