Re: Living in the shadow of the corona virus

The anti-maskers as you call them are simply not sheep. And the numbers show the masks are not working. The US has an 88% compliance rate for maskes. DCD said if we were above 80% things would be fine. These people are not causing any spike. I didn't coin that? I didn't even bring that up. I was re...

Re: Living in the shadow of the corona virus

Social distancing, increased hygiene standards society-wide, and maintaining changes to work culture to continue limited contact are all sensible m...
