Why are you focusing on texas. Sure theyve been introduced in numerous countries. Surely thereâs some data, graphs etc to demonstrate their effectivenessâŚsure it would be moronic to believe in their effectiveness otherwise.
Unless theyâre a sort of religious observance, in which case I apologise
When I think of George Lee Iâm reminded of Rifki in the movie Midnight Express. Lee shares many of the same personality traits as Rifki. 2 cunts.

Youâll find just as many articles saying they donât work. Some asian countries have barely bothered with masks or lockdowns and have done much better.
But all thatâs neither here nor thereâŚanother diversion. Fire up one of those trajectory charts and show us the date when masks were introduced. Thatâll settle it
Dr Jack Lambert could play himself if they ever make a Hollywood movie about Covid. Thomas Byrne would need a lot of help

Countries like Taiwan that issued a million surgical masks a week? The main reason Asian countries did so well is because they had strict travel restrictions from January 2020, compared to say London which had daily flights from Wuhan up to mid March. You donât need lockdowns if you keep the virus out.

Obviously not. Would there be any point in anybody posting up a chart? You just dimiss it as ârecent makey puppy sciencey linky thingsâ.
Why demand a chart when youâve already made your mind up?

Why are you so exercised about masks? Sure if you donât think they offer any protection donât wear one.
It wasnât all over the world before January, given how infectious it is we would have seen the first wave far earlier. Keeping in mind people were taking no precautions in western countries before March.
I agree Asians in general are much healthier than westerners and thatâs a big factor in their low death tolls, but countries like Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Mongolia etc. were prepared for a pandemic and closed their borders early, stopped flights from Wuhan in mid January, etc.
Let me explain. I asked Julio if luke could point to where on a chart masks were no longer mandatory. Our wild colonial boy jumped in with a pronouncement that my challenge wasnât valid because of vaccines. I simply pointed out that there were numerous such charts showing case and death trajectories in numerous countries where masks had been introduced or not. J merely suggested that since he felt Texas wasnât a valid example he should be able to use a similar graph from another country, and point out the effect of masks.
Heâs unable to do so.
Iâll leave it at that.

Any word on non essential retail?
I was merrily dragged to M&S the other day because there was a clothes sale on. I knew better than to mention I thought âsalesâ were banned. Anyway the essential stuff is at the front but all the non essential stuff in behind is priced up too and how it works is if you like the look of something at the back you just give yer one there a wee nod or a wink (or even a shout in some cases) and sheâll bring it up for you and away you go. You donât need to try it on either as they are very good about returns nowadays apparo
