Re: Coronavirus
Finally managed to book a Booster at a reasonable location and time, loads of options booking this morning compared to the last few days.

i went shopping yesterday and wore a mask, i just had a box of 50 delivered,
what i don't like is people barking orders about mask wearing hence the thumbs down.
i'm going out xmas shopping soon i might wear 2 masks just to show how virtuous i am, i hope this makes me upper class

The 'barking orders' as you eloquently comes about because people who refuse to wear a mask and are puffing their chests out about protesting. whilst in reality the vast majority of which aren't really protesting merely using it as an excuse because they can't be bothered and/or have no consideration for others.
You're more likely to find that barking orders = frustration
Nothing, will ever make you upper class my man... not even a blood transfusion.

My comment - as expected/triggered: You'd need to go to Waitrose and John Lewis, Papa.

I don't think there's many of those in Scunthorpe, Seph. However, if Johnson is serious about levelling-up the country, he will surely incentivise Waitrose to open a branch there, so Papa doesn't have to drive to Lincoln for his weekly shop.

Strange - I thought they worked on the "precautionary principle", which seems fairly relevant.

And masks work on the precautionary principle of "if you wear one, you’re less likely to infect others or be infected"…

precautionary - carried out as a precaution; preventive; measure taken beforehand to prevent harm or secure good

Cleethorpes Andrew, I'm sure we had a Waitrose but now it's co-op.
but obviously i would wear a mask wherever it was.

What do you mean there’s no evidence that putting your hand in the fire will make a difference. It might make a difference isn’t that good enough for you. If we all put our hands in the fire like we’re told to by the government it possibly maybe might not hurt.
Oh for gods sake just do as your told, peasant.

You obviously don’t know what the precautionary principle is then.
It’s not solved by calling Direct Line.

Re: Coronavirus
What happens if you have something on your hand that is growing could kill you and your loved ones and a good way of stopping it spreading is to put your hand in the fire. Would you then ??

There's well known,peer reviewed & documented evidence that putting your hand in a fire will cause you significant damage and pain up to and including death (should an infection come about as a result)
There's no known evidence supporting the same thing with wearing a mask, there is however peer reviewed & documented evidence that says masks may offer a degree of transmission reduction.
It's not about being morally superior, it's about having some common sense and consideration for others, something which in quite a few anti-maskers seems to be lacking (not necessarily yourself)

TBH having common sense and consideration for others does make you morally superior to those who only think of themselves.
