Japanese culture is far more respectful to others than ours so wearing a mask to prevent spreading a cold fits in with the culture there. Here not so much.

(haven't looked myself) I heard 30% earlier so that would fit in with what you heard. Edit: from the Mail online Omicron already makes up 30 per cent of new Covid cases in London, according to confidential data given to ministers that underlines the severity of the situation Britain faces in the run-up to Christmas as fears grow that even tougher restrictions may be needed.

Jambo 4 Ever Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Why do people choose not to wear masks? (Other than the very few who are exempt) just selfish behaviour and not acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I just read that two shots of AZ with no booster =0% protection. But with a Pfizer booster that jumps to 70%. Two Pfizer and no booster = 30%. A Pfizer booster on top = 76% No data for Moderna or any other vaccine. *should have said that with the low numbers of Omicron cases, compared to Delta, the source states the above estimates are subject to wide uncertainty. Apologies. Edited December 10, 2021 by pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you any idea how completely absurd the mask rules are? Standing at a bar drinking a pint without a mask and zero ****s given. Walking up to a bar right beside this person ordering a drink and having to wear one. Anyone who gives a **** about masks when there are so many absurd offsets is nothing short of a simpleton imo.

indianajones Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Some pant wetting shite on this thread. It really makes you wonder about the mental state of the population. I wear a mask because it makes YOU feel safe even though I'd technically be exempt. I couldn't care less if people wear them or not. Get on with life and stop worrying about it. You'll be fine.

So how do you know tell apart someone without a mask is exempt and just choosing not to tell the world they have health conditions and someone who is doing it out of choice?

If hundreds of thousands of people a day are catching it then impact on workplaces will be massive. Only alternative would be that everybody carried on of normal if they have it but you’d have to be 100% sure Omicron doesn’t cause a risk of serious illness or death and we just don’t know that yet.

I have booster tomorrow morning (hopefully unlike my mate I'm at not at RHC for 2 hours) so shouldn't impact the game but work Monday morning going to be busy so not ideal if wiped out. Reading that they only have evidence of the boosters effectiveness with Pfizer but assume Moderna OK as well, so hopefully that is the case...
