RE: Why do people need to be 'told' to wear a mask and take other safety measures12 Dec 2021 16:20
Yes, reusing cheap masks is not ideal, that's why P2f -type high quality, and I accept not cheap, masks are recommended. The other recommended behaviours of physical distancing, sanitising and vaccinating, and also testing are also needed, so it is the combination of all these that determine the speed of spread of the virus. Another which is very difficult to quantify is the genetic healthiness of a population group, eg if more smoke, are obese, are older, less vaccinated, have more underlying illnesses, have less good diets, are genetically less strong, etc.. then the virus will harm them more. Guess the latter is why the scientists find this scenario so difficult to convince people to do their recommended behaviours, so many variables !!
Anyways, hope nnn sp goes up nicely this week, just saw that the Irish govt want all schools and others to have adequate air filtration systems, hope our Mr Duffin is marketing to Ireland as well as a close neighbour !!
