>>I don't think it is for the medical and epidemiological experts to make the decisions.
Agreed.
Most especially since when one is dealing with uncertainties different experts will use different assumptions and therefore have different outlooks. Obvious really, that's what they are supposed to do.
But with different out looks and scenarios comes different recommended actions. And only hindsight will know which is correct.
It is sad that simply telling people to be careful is not sufficient. I don't know which I find more pitiful, making masks compulsory or demonstrating against them.
If you catch this disease you may die, you may get very ill, you may clog up the hospitals or you may give it to someone else who will then die, get ill or clog up hospitals. So take precautions and avoid it.
Pretend you're trying to dodge the common cold when everybody else in the pub has already got it.
S'not b***** difficult to understand.
Trying to set rules which say 6 people is ok and 7 is not, and then having people argue that either 6 or 8 would be better, FFS.
Truly pathetic behaviour by the general public, at least insofar as it is presented by the BBC, and others no doubt.
