  1. *their * countries. If the virus was fake, you couldn't spread it.

  2.  @moonbeam8120  No I don't see that someone was looking for a reason to spread fake news.

  3. Wearing masks will control the spread of the virus and keep town centres open.

  4.  @matthewwalker5317  So how would you control it?

  5.  @davidbarlow350  It's more about not spreading it, so those people who unknowingly have it won't spread it around through coughs and sneezes as the mask will inhibit much of that liquid from being jettisoned as an aerosol spray in the air. If masks were no good at all, why do all the medics wear them?

  6.  @matthewwalker5317  What you are not taking into account is the longer term or permanent effects on some survivors, even those who are young or who didn't have a severe experience of the virus. There is plenty of information on that if you look. I'll give you one example. In Germany they MRI screened 100 patients who had survived the virus and discovered that the hearts of 78 of them had been affected. Many had infllamation of the heart, but Covid can affect other organs too. e.g. lungs, liver, kidneys. It can cause blood clotting that leads to strokes. That's not to mention long term fatigue afterwards or loss of muscle tone while on ventilators, leading to people needing physiotherapy in order to walk again. It's a nasty disease and one best avoided. Of course there will be people it doesn't affect much who won't be aware they have it, but it's not entirely predictable. Even Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who dismissed the disease, said he was fit and it would not affect him much if he caught it, took no precautions and caught it, now says he's been left with 'mouldy lungs' afterwards.

  7.  @davidbarlow350  No. I am going to get my flu vaccination as usual, but Covid 19 is not flu.

  8.  @davidbarlow350  I'm in a vulnerable group so the statistics are different for me. I'm not intending to take the Covid vaccine until I see how that goes with people. Covid is a coronavirus not a flu virus. I can tell you're getting frustrated as you are resorting to insults, so this will be my last comment. I'll let you have the last insult. It's good to get things out of your system. It might calm you down.

  9.  @matthewwalker5317  I didn't think that about you but it seems an apt description now that you say it.

  11. If the electorate had got something right, you wouldn't have those leaders in the first place.
