UK Government Making No Sense On Masks Again?


Dear Michael Sutton,
The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Make it mandatory to wear a face mask in public during Covid-19 Pandemic”.
Government responded:
The Government has recently updated its guidance to advise that all passengers on public transport, and those visiting hospitals must wear face coverings. We continue to follow the scientific advice.
The well-being and safety of the public is the Government’s primary concern.
Evidence from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) suggests that face coverings may help reduce the risk of transmission if someone is suffering from coronavirus, but not showing symptoms. However, the widespread use of masks in public is not yet supported by high quality scientific evidence.
Social distancing and hand hygiene remain the most important ways to guard against the virus, face coverings may help prevent individuals who have coronavirus but are not presenting symptoms from spreading it to others.
However, as lockdown restrictions ease, we recognise that more people will now be coming into contact with others and there may be incidences where social distancing cannot be maintained consistently. We have therefore continued to evolve our advice on face coverings to recognise this context.
The Government therefore made two announcements relating to the use of face coverings in specific situations last week. On 4 June the Transport Secretary announced that the Government will work with transport operators to make it mandatory for passengers to wear face coverings when using public transport in England from the 15th of June. On 5 June, the Health Secretary announced that all staff in hospitals in England will be provided with surgical masks which they must wear; and all hospital visitors and outpatients should wear face coverings, also from the 15th of June.
These face coverings can and should be made at home, using scarves or other textile items. We have published guidance to show people how to do this which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-wear-and-make-a-cloth-face-covering. We urge the public not to purchase medical or surgical masks as these must be reserved for health and social care workers who face the greatest risk.
The Government continues to look to the scientific evidence and advice it is given to review and refine our advice, and our overall response to COVID-19.

The Masks Supermyth is Bust with Experimental Research

Where, exactly, is the experimental research to test the hypothesis that masks do not help reduce the spread of Covid19?

Brian J Ford kindly shares a journal article looking at how effective masks are against Covid19

Masks and Covid19: How many thousands have died due to expert idiots advising the gumptionless, credulous, UK Govt

Elect a clown, expect a massacre!


.

If face masks work 11 May to reduce deaths from Covid19 then logically they worked before. That means the previous advice killed from Mike Robert Sutton on Vimeo.

Masks Against Covid-19 and Proper Academics Versus the Cult of Managerialism


The UK Government has been misled by a bunch of managerialist "going forward vacuous buzz-term signalling obsessed" idiots, not only did the UK lock-down three weeks too late, as the #PrimeClown Boris Johnson was clowning around boasting about shaking hands in hospitals with Corona19 patients and saying it was OK to continue with mass sporting events - and his scientific advisers treated the pandemic like the flu and advised a herd immunity "let 'em die" strategy, other counties, such as Greece locked down before they suffered a single death from Covid19.

Today the UK has the worst death rate in Europe and Greece the lowest! Boris was, unsurprisingly infected and wasted NHS resources taking up a critical care bed for days - all due to his own clownish idiot stupidity. BULLSHIT KILLS! #NulliusInBurger

In the video snippet below - PRESENTED HERE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO SAVE LIVES -Professor King tells the BBC (4th May 2020), quite sensibly, that the public should be compelled to wear masks outside the home during the Covid19 pandemic



Now compare and contrast the advice given by Professor David King with that of the total idiot managerialist vacuous buzz-term signalling Jenny "going forward" Harries who believes all the public are as stupid as the Prime Clown Boris Johnson. Note also how she thinks mass public gathering events are fine during the Covid19 pandemic. The idiot and her managerialist cult  colleagues bosses should have been "going forward" 😬 advising lock-down and face-masks. Instead Harries was seemingly simply desperate to please the Prime Clown with whatever he wanted to hear and say so she could remain wallowing in her ludicrous managerial role. She is worse than useless, she is deadly. How many lives have been lost due to such incompetent stupidity?




I wrote a blog post for the Crime Talk website on the theme of deadly bullshit. If you are interested in exploring this issue further then please click here to read it.

We need to kick out the cult of lethal idiot managerialism "going forward" from all our universities.

 CONCLUSION AND THE WAY FORWARD

Firstly, the most obvious point so many miss is that it is NOT so much a question of how much protection one wearer of a face masks gets from infected others not wearing a mask. The proper question to ask is this: “What extra protection do we ALL get if EVERYONE wears a mask OUTSIDE THE HOME? This question is especially important given that many carriers - and so spreaders - of Covid19 are asymptomatic and coughing and sneezing and otherwise spreading infected droplets in public and semi-public places.

This is not rocket science. Even children understand it.



Proper research into this issue concludes everyone is better protected from the spread of Covid19 into the air via water droplets and onto surfaces-then-to-hands-to-face. See the the top BMJ paper written by Prof Trisha Greenhalgh on this. Published this month and available free online (HERE).

The science about how Covid19 is spreads and how effective masks are is NOT about how well the odd mask wearer is protected but how much better protected we all are if everyone is forced to wear a mask outside the home during the Covid19 pandemic.

Beware of being led down the garden path by those who would rather tens of thousands more people die than admit they were wrong about compulsory wearing of face masks during this pandemic.

The UK government will recommend everyone wear face masks in shops etc as we come out of lock-down. This is policy in Scotland today and on all Eurostar trains leaving London.

The telling question is this: If face masks save lives coming out of lock-down , why not right now during lock-down? Why not right from the start of the pandemic?

Masks Against Coronavirus

I have been Tweeting for weeks that the UK needs to insist we all wear masks outside the home. I see today that in New York that is now the official advice. Sadly, so called experts have advised against this in the UK.

All those TV doctors and scientists etc who have been trotting out the party line the masks don't work claptrap on TV - to merely tow the establishment line to keep their money making work with broadcasters should be ashamed. Many people have most certainly died as a result of such rubbish. A mask of any kind (the better the better however) will cut down the amount of infected water droplets spread by a sneezing, coughing and talking wearer and will reduce the amount of exposure to such droplets by wearers. That is simple logic.
