    And a fine warning of how some can be so inconsiderate because of ignorance and lack of conscience. It's how some car drivers act forcing their way into your area because your safety is a game to them.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The whole mask wearing thing was nothing more than an exercise in seeing how easily manipulated people could be. The picture I put up shows the stupidity of it in it's full glory. You needed a mask to get into a restaurant but once you were seated the mask suddenly became redundant.

    To be fair, it's hard to eat through a mask.

    If the Virus is deadly enough to necessitate a Mask, then eating in public is not reasonable.
    If it is reasonable to eat in public, then necessitating a mask is a farce.

    So was the mask wearing for safety or was it for show?

    Even slightly deadly was deadly enough for me.

    Neither? Both? Another reason altogether?

    Fuck there's some good circular reasoning.

    But for the slow of thinking:

    Health recommendation was pushing for isolation and mask wearing. They don't to in operating theatre for giggles.

    But politicians were concerned that closing restaurants etc would be crippling. So they pushed for compromise.
    Can you not see that?

    Saying ohh there's a compromise, it must be all untrue is just poor thinking. Ooh ooh but let's say it's a conspiracy to test the public for how gullable they are. . . . By mandating a face covering that makes our fancy face recognition software redundant. You wouldn't do that if you were a socialist Totalitarian government bent on public control as you suggest.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    As I said - a training exercise in compliance.

    And it sounds like many of you scored an A+.

    You should probably park your bike up and catch the bus everywhere.

    Think I'll just keep wearing my helmet and bike gear, which may do nothing at all in an accident, or may stop me being more seriously injured, depending on the circumstances.

    In the middle east they use the term "Inshallah". if Allah wills. Therefore there is no point wearing a seat belt in a car because it is in God's hands anyway. I think you've stumbled onto Dogmans approach.
