just seen someone on Facebook share that Masks do more harm than good? I asked what harm they do and they said that wearing a mask has long term side effects. Anyone know what they supposedly are?

About 4 days ago the Midlands was at 57% double dosed. so still a way to go.
Also does anyone know why the pace of vaccinations both 1st and 2nd jabs is slowing right down?

The 'logic' is they restrict airflow, and you start breathing your own breath back in - i.e. carbon dioxide etc.

Have to admit, bar a rush hour train (unavoidable), shopping queues (I'll stick with deliveries, more convenient anyway, and can pop to the shop out of busy times if I really need something) and rock concerts or football games (avoidable if I want to) I do my best not to get within two metres of people anyway!

There is off course some people who will rely on herd immunity and not just those who can’t be arsed to get the vaccine or those fruit loops who just reject it.
People with allergies who through no fault of their own can’t have a vaccine. People without a spleen who can’t hold onto certain cell types from any vaccine so until a history is built up they don’t know how effective the vaccine is short, medium or long term for them.

It could, and tbh that's the main problem with Johnson all through this, he introduces doubt to just about everything!

Exactly…people put them on,take them off,touch surfaces,touch their masks again,touch more surfaces etc - where‘s the actual proof that they even work?

So just to recap. The man who said we’ll be pleased to know that he was shaking hands with Covid victims in hospital just before becoming a victim himself and ending up in hospital says that we don’t need to wear masks whereas his scientific advisers have confirmed that they’ll continue to wear masks personally.
Tricky one. Who’s advice should I follow?

50000 infections a day isn’t great is it? Think the likelihood of a more dangerous variant is unlikely

TBF I didn’t have to think about it too long but I’ve decided to ignore the idiot who bragged about shaking hands with people who have Covid thinking he was a hero and decided to listen to the chief medical advisors. Much as I’ve done the whole pandemic.

According to what I've heard about the air quality and toxins on there it'd be best to do so for your own health regardless

I’m no expert at all but virus’ are like any life form they like to continue to exist so it serves no useful purpose to kill it’s host
So I’m hoping.
My personal opinion is that we will be locked down again as hospitals are overwhelmed, probably some time between October and February
