Most of the masks people wear here are paper or cloth. When you wear trousers and presumably underwear as well that's 2 or 3 layers over your arse of basically the same thing. Yet people can still smell your fart so that means it's passing through multiple layers of cloth.
Where it falls down, of course, is that what you're smelling in farts is a gas and what the mask is trapping is a virus, usually embedded in a droplet or aerosol, which is much larger.
Though if you go past a rather smelly fish counter in a supermarket your mask stinks...
Also, looks like 3rd doses for all over 18s (probably rolled out by age) and 2nd for 12-15 year olds, can't think under 12s will be too long either. What we have will no doubt help - and let's hope this does turn out to be mild.

Even if its main subject is an epidemiologist who said it came from a Wuhan lab, then reviewed all the evidence and changed his mind?

Of course they do.
Project Fear has done an excellent job of brainwashing the public into thinking its worse than any plague (ever), almost the end of the world, and definitely a deadly nerve agent that will kill you on contact (and you'll likely catch it just from looking at other people without a mask).

Yep. Look you and I know that I am not qualified.
But I do have a degree in Bullshit detection.
It’s like a like a deadly strain of measles suddenly appeared out of Birmingham, and situated in Birmingham was the “Birmingham measles experimental and developmental laboratory”. What are the chances….?
.
Then everybody said the outbreak actually occurred in a chip shop in Solihull.
Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

Then it is unlikely to be a coincidence. I am not naive enough to think conspiracy's do not happen but I am also not stupid enough to think everything is one

I’m sorry to tell you this, but it’s a fake degree - so your degree in Bullshit Detection is bullshit.

Wuhan is a big city though. It's larger than London. And China has a lot of coronaviruses strains in its animal population so it's not surprising a major population centre in China has a lab studying a virus endemic to China.
In your example, if there was a virus endemic to the U.K, a type of virus of which different strains emerged all the time, then it would be perfectly feasible that there could both be a lab studying them and a new outbreak both in Birmingham.
It's hardly an extraordinary coincidence.

Re: Coronavirus
So we have to wear masks again (I have no problem with that) but you don't need them in cinemas or pubs! Two places where people are going to be in close proximity.
Crazy!
