There are some really illogical policies. Younger children not needing a mask, but older children needing one is another crazy one for me, when the age ranges mix in a school and then mix again out of school.
The issue is that there aren't many options for stopping the virus spreading through the population. Either everyone quarantines themselves, or a vaccine is discovered and produced in sufficient quantity to immunise the entire population. Governments are trying to control the speed of infection, not prevent infection, because quarantine isn't a solution - its just an unsustainable stop-gap.
Don't get me started!!
The bus my son uses once a week (will be today) his bus has all under 11 kids on it he is 5... the bus driver is not wearing a mask because the kids don't have to. That's his logic. I'm not an anti or pro mask. But I did and am considering questing him later why he isn't wearing one. IF it's a medical condition then:
- why are you driving a school bus full of kids who could become infected at any time
- is your medical condition safe for you to drive school kids to school considering your bus is a massive tank if anything was to happen to you.
I wear half a face mask with M3 filters I get some strange looks but at least it's not made of curtain fabric... I could go out in a full face mask but choose not.
I think the entire government UK (don't know about other countries so cant comment) needs to start doing public announcement messages on ALL TV stations, radio and internet banner ads including social media.
1. How to wash hands - this has fizzled off
BUT MY BIGGEST ISSUE
2. How to wear a mask. Mask over the nose and not the mouth, over the mouth and not nose does f*ck all. Taking the mask off to talk in shops etc.
I don't get how hard it is to produce a few graphics, after all, they are dropping money on fake PPE grants like no tomorrow but hiring a graphic design studio seems out of the question.
Fully understand it's about controlling and or slowing the rate of infection but having no clear guidelines and letting each part of the UK make up its own rules is just as mad. UK gov needs to draft a bill, tell each of the nations to shut the fuck up they have control for now and go from there life in the UK would be so much easier.
EDIT
Vote for t2van next election. I'll sort all this out.
