Love how the right wingers on here are more interested in Covid rules than a great City win.

Just the two hundred and seventy six deaths today

What point are you making. An average of 1700 people die every day in a typical year in the UK.

Such an unnecessary step to remove enforced isolation. The amount of bosses up and down the country that will force their workers into work with it will be huge. Ridiculous move really

Any kind of mask would help prevent them spreading. I'd be expecting any staff or visitors to a hospital to be subject to testing and mask wearing. Struggle to believe that any normal person could find that an issue.

The cloth masks are absolutely useless , against this kind of virus , I’m astounded people think are effective in any way possible.

They help to stop the individual affected spreading it to others. I've literally suggested protecting the very most vulnerable in society and you're desperate to find a problem. Pathetic

Right wingers ? So people who agree with the governments relaxing of restrictions are that are they ?

I’m very left personally

I’ve got no problem with the N95 medical grade ones , but the novelty ones are useless, and the rules around them suggest they are more of a visual reminder.

Inclined to agree in a way, they're pretty useless in terms of protecting the wearer from aerosols. Although they do help to stop the wearer spreading it so easily.

Strongly think that we can't just go back to normal in real high risk environments though. Medical settings really should have protection in law to enforce testing and any other protective measures that are needed

This thread highlights how ****ing shit we have become.

I remember early 2020 stating the importance of politics staying out of what we were about to receive.

TOBW basically gave me the bird then posted Guardian stories incessantly.

To this day how people can still treat this thing as a political football is terrible.

And I'm surprised no one has mentioned that this announcement was made as a desperate attempt to salvage a political career.

I agreed back in March 2020 and was determined not to be too critical of the UK Government, but that was before the "libertarian" Government we have started making decisions based on party politics rather than public health and, as yesterday showed, they still are doing that.

The statistics are damning for the UK compared to nearly all other Western European democracies and there are still hundreds of people dying every day from Covid and yet we get rubbish about cancer deaths from Government apologists

Deaths from cancer are, nearly always, unavoidable, deaths from any contagious disease are not, your chances of not catching a potentially deadly virus are lessened by taking realistic precautions, but the "it's time to move on" mob talk as if anyone advocating that wants us back in a full lockdown and all they're doing really is showing their I'm all right Jack attitude.

This place has become much more political ( anything non-football is quickly turned into a political post , it never used to be like that ), I often pop on before I head out for work, one day soon I expect to see a post " its my daughters wedding day today and its lashing down, Boris should have acted sooner / Well Boris had a garden party blah blah blah "
