Jambo-Jimbo Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 What a difference less than a week has seen, I can only speak about my location, however I've seen things turn around near enough full circle, from almost everybody wearing masks in our local shops (Monday & Tuesday) to the vast majority not wearing masks (Yesterday & Today). This is good as it shows how quickly the majority of society (around here) have gotten their confidence back, of course I also think it not being a legal requirement has also had a lot to do with it, simply put, you don't need to wear a mask, so people aren't anymore.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Rightly or wrongly I was in favour of the first lockdown, I just want to make that clear. Now we all know about the effect lockdowns have had on people's health, mental & physical, cancelled op's & treatments etc etc, however it now seems that the lockdowns/restrictions are possibly playing a part in the alarming rise of Hepatitis cases in children. There has been 108 cases so far since January with 8 of them needing liver transplants. Dr Tassos Grammatikopoulos, consultant in paediatric hepatology at the hospital said investigations were still ongoing to find out what was driving the surge but said one possible explanation could be the lack of social mixing among children during lockdown. He told Sky News: "There are certain theories. We have so far identified, in a significant proportion of these cases, about 77%, related to an adenovirus infection. But they can be caused by a number of other, different infections." "The most recent lockdowns and the pandemic has probably played a part in this because children have not been exposed to common pathogens, to common infections like they would have if they had been out and about in the community." https://news.sky.com/story/hepatitis-the-girl-who-had-just-hours-to-live-as-rare-cases-rise-in-children-12596130 It's not just the UK which is seeing a rise in hepatitis cases in children, the USA & Mainland Europe are also seeing a rise in cases as well. It seems that whilst we had to bring in the lockdowns, there will be a heavy price to pay for doing so, looks to me a case of, damned if we did, damned if we didn't.

Sure I seen something on the Scottish News the other night, that hospital admissions for covid had nearly halfed in the space of a week or something like that. Which is great news, however as you quite rightly say, we are going to get waves and increase in cases every now and then, it's the nature of the beast I'm afraid, that's the way these things go.

That's just a bogus jibe invented by the nasty minded. I've been surprised at how many people still wear them. You would need to have lived underground for the last two years to have missed the information that face coverings have next to no benefit for the wearer. The only other conclusion is that wearers are doing it in order to continue being considerate to others. Counting masks. Ffs. Re-enter your lives you freaks. The Border Telegraph carried out a survey during the first week of the legal requirement being removed, the results of which might answer the about query. I don't know how they carried out the survey, it could simply have been someone standing at the door and counting people, anyway, the Border Telegraph's survey found that from around 90% of shoppers wearing face masks/coverings when it was a legal requirement, that figure fell to around 25% of shoppers still wearing face masks/coverings in the week after the legal requirement being removed. Meaning some 65% of shoppers ditched wearing face masks/coverings. The conclusion of this surely means that the majority of shoppers only wore masks because it was the law and pretty much only because it was the law. https://www.bordertelegraph.com/news/20090773.majority-shoppers-galashiels-not-wearing-masks-new-study-finds/ I was shopping in Gala yesterday and I'd say it was way less than 25% of other shoppers still wearing masks in the shops, there was the odd one or two here and there, but they were only a few.

I was speaking to my consultant and she was saying things are almost back to normal with the NHS. I did notice in the waiting room it was " standing room only". I asked her about masks in hospital and she said she assumed they still have to wear them but there has been no diktat that they have to still wear them. She also reminded me that because Im immune suppressed ( meds and disease) then I and any others are entitled to certain drugs if I get covid again which are almost emergency drugs you can get within the first few days or having the virus again. I didn't know that. It was good to see the waiting room busy and actually seeing the consultant face to face after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been having a massage lately due to shoulder pain and I had to wear a mask for it , It felt really uncomfortable. I haven't been back since the mask mandate was dropped so not sure if the clinic is continue this, if they are I wont be back as it is really uncomfortable as your meant to be relaxed when getting a massage and not feel like you cant breathe You should've told the masseur that you were exempt. If he's selling a service to the public, he couldn't have refused you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand old people still wearing them Hopefully this will fade over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the best practice for a massage patient to be muzzled really. Health wise more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty out there who make unselfish decisions, the fact that you can't even imagine they exist says more about your levels of cynicism and bitterness than anything else. Honestly, ****ing hell! Unselfish decisions Wearing masks 9 fecking months longer than England to protect auld Jessie in Tesco Going by the survey that JJ quoted from, most people wore them because it was the law. What percentage of people do you think are still wearing masks, are doing it to protect the 75% of people not wearing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the massage documentaries I watch on PornHub seem to be mask-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
