You breathe out. What comes out of your mouth?
You sneeze. What comes out of your nose?

Perhaps study something before spouting off about it? Who is the thick one? The one insisting he is right when he is wrong? Or the one who learns about stuff then posts?

Ok ok, one last time I’ll humour you.

I just practiced breathing in and out, just for you.

No ‘water droplets’.

Hope you’ve got your muzzle ready!

Wow - surely you are being sarcastic or this is some kind of parody account having a laugh on here?

If not I can't believe ive failed to realise your lack of knowledge the last few weeks.

I just thought you had a different opinion til now.

What you just said explains so many of your posts the last few weeks

This must be primary school level education gone wrong?

A virus doesn’t need water droplets any more than pollen dust does to remain airborne. Coughing or sneezing just expels they virus further and in greater quantities.

No, it’s just that I’ve not been frightened by the pathetic dithering incompetence of the government!

Look, if you want to muzzle up then go for it. Personally I’ve moved to online shopping

whats the solution to avoiding glasses steaming up when wearing a mask?

I went to Waitrose yest, first time wearing a mask (first time going to the shops), damn glasses kept steaming up, couldnt see where I was going. I found not breathing to be a solution, but it has some disadvantages

Please bear in mind that the response to the virus is a political one, not a health-based one, so take what you hear from governments and "experts" with a pinch of salt.

Oh, and a very important thing to do is to not stop using cash. Keep using cash, because the welfare of your descendants will depend on it.

Although politics will come into some of the decisions it's certainly mainly health based - no government wants to lockdown an entire country - makes no sense as it messes with the economy hugely and no matter what makes the governemtn look bad.

So I look forward to your reasoning why it is political.

That’s correct. Water.

Are we afraid of water now? Good grief!

Oh yes, I forgot. By breathing on a piece of glass right in front of my gob is a really realistic simulation of what happens in the actual real world.

Muzzles at the ready!

Keep your water to yourself.
And avoid breathing in anyone else's water droplets.

Oh wait, you don't want to be muzzled. You will instead breathe in whatever is in the air...

And if you do get the virus you will be able to spread it easily.

The decision was a political one. This doesn't mean that some people in government believed it to be health-based and were therefore working in semi-good faith.

I work as a political consultant.... of sorts. You may have heard of "superforecasters", although I don't really like that term.

Based upon what I know, I have decided to emigrate. The UK has passed a certain "point of no return" in some regards.

If you're staying in the UK, then I'd advise to use cash wherever you can, buy from non-corporations, stop watching television, keep a close eye on what your kids are being taught in school, get fit and stay fit, and never make the mistake of thinking "it won't happen here".

The pandemic is being used as cover for a power grab, and although Brexit has improved our lot, it hasn't insulated us from what "they" want to do. Even if there were the will to do so, it'll take decades to fix the institutions, which is time we don't have.

How on earth would I be able to do that?

I don’t go closer than a metre to anyone except my kids and my hot lover.

The more people who catch the virus, the better, minus those who are at risk and therefore indoors isolating.

For children and young adults, the risk is zero.
For those under 65, almost zero. For 65 to 75, no unreasonable risk.

If someone is above the average life expectancy and has a serious underlying health condition, it might shave a week or even a month or couple of months off their life if HCQ, azithromycin and zinc sulphate aren't given quickly enough.

There's no need for nearly everyone to worry about this virus.

Can you send that to my 49 year old friend who was a teacher and amateur triathlete who "recovered" from Covid a couple of months ago but still can't walk to the garden gate without losing her breath?

I would say anybody over 40 should do their very best to avoid catching this whether they die or not.

It appears that your friend has a serious underlying health condition - known or unknown.

Life is not without risk but on balance, this virus does not present an unreasonable risk to those under 75. We do not place people under house arrest because here and there, someone has an adverse reaction to this virus.

I shall send it to your friend, and also to my six family members between the ages of 80 and 97 who have had this virus, showed symptoms no more serious than a light cough, and who are all fit and walking/ shuffling around as they were before.

It's what I do for a living. It's how I, and others, understand that this virus isn't the plague we have been led to believe it is.

There are many people who *want* this virus to be a serious risk though*.

"The virus IS a serious risk! Mummy, tell the nasty man to stop telling me that I'm not going to die from this virus!".
It's....... peculiar.

*It's very interesting (and amusing), for those politics boffins out there, to see how belief in deadliness of the virus correlates with whether a person is a remainer or Brexiteer, socialist or libertarian, and so on.
