It’s about as accurate (and as derogatory) as calling someone who won’t wear a mask or speaks out against lockdowns as a ‘COVID lover"…
And regarding your comment about "hospitalisations are by no way rising out of control, over the last few months they've been relatively static" - but they’re static at between 800 and 900 per day since July…

Well, 800-900 per day (provided it isn't concentrated in a particular area) across the country is probably manageable, and let's not forget how this figure is broken down, given that hospitalisations are also counting people who catch covid whilst already in hospital, or who don't go in because they have covid but somehow also have the virus. Not to mention that they are still popping covid positive patients in wards where there is other stuff going on, where they need to keep them apart, this isn't helping the former, and probably isn't helping the NHS either.
So yeah, face nappies is partially tongue in cheek, but do they really work in the current situation? Or do they anywhere? Lithuania has tried to combat their latest surge by vaxpasses and face coverings, neither of which has worked. Aside from telling people to get jabbed, allowing anyone to do so, and then just letting it rip, it's difficult to suggest what actually works now. It even seems that Delta is too transmissible for even lockdowns and closing non-essential businesses again to work, and then you have the unbelievably slow exit plan to reopen everything again. It doesn't work, we have to live with it now.
