Didn’t he say by September originally, then before winter sets in? It’s fingers crossed thinking. It’s possible of course but the key word is possible and he’s already changed that possibility at least twice. The latest two possibilities actually only being days apart.USA also hopefuls of a vaccine by January according to Fauci
Especially if it comes out of America. A country with a long history of negligence in such areas.I really hope they test it properly too. Would rather it be slightly later, then botched in the race to be first. Usually I'd be entirely confident, but with Trump about, I'm rather less so!
Here is a linkPerhaps if I knew what they were I'd understand what the actual issue is
The confusion over all this is a major problemThey're certainly not pointless otherwise by that logic the NHS workers might as well just care for patients in the nude and save everyone the trouble.
But they're only as useful as the person who wears them. Social distancing still needs to be actioned whilst wearing masks otherwise their usefulness lessens and as such the risk rises.
This is where I completely agree with scientists and medical practitioners who fear that masks may give off a false sense of security to people.
So they would prefer people to die than cause panic buying?The WHO has to advise in an environment where some countries have limited PPE supplies and don’t want panic buying.

That WHO video, to me, seems a bit contradictory.
She says the masks she demonstrates (fluid resistant surgical mask) won't really protect you alone. She said you need to take other precautions.
She said wear one if you've got symptoms (obs to protect others).
But if you're in a room with someone who's got the bug, you should put one on.
Why? She's just said alone they won't protect you.
Am I missing something?
I see a lot of people out and about with masks and that makes me think they've got the bug, so they should be at home self-isolating. However, they could have it but have no symptoms, so they're being nice and trying to protect others, just in case.
Just think the official messages need to be crystal clear and that WHO video doesn't do it for me.
2 days ago Sturgeon advocated masks and got shot down by some Tory.
Yesterday Boris said they'd be a useful tool when coming out of lock down!
I bet it’s the one pushing the wheelbarrow, failing that the one fishing.Nome are saying it’s mandatory
Nome are saying it’s mandatory
Is there any point in doing it if not?
Be interesting to see how effective they've been in countries where they are mandatory but even if the numbers are good how do you know how much is down to them and how much is down to other measures?
I'd be happy to wear one if they were mandatory post lock down even if the evidence of their effectiveness old sketchy

Stop making up your own story. Europe wasn't mentioned.Where has it actually been mandatory in all areas in Europe?

None what? This is where you make up your own story to make a point that doesn't exist.Er so none then

Slovakia,Czech Republic, Austria and I think Turkey though I'd have to check.
Edit - just checked and Turkey is mandatory though I think it may only apply in shops, markets etc not parks.
True. When assessing their effectiveness it doesn't really matter if the data is European or not.
Ones doing better than us and most started doing it in March or early April. Aside from helping control the number of cases and therefore deaths it’s also meant that they’ve been able to relax lockdown measures sooner.Where has it actually been mandatory in all areas in Europe?
If he does then why is he saying that he won’t.Trump thinks they work doesn’t he?
Aren't they bras?
Here’s the list
Which countries have made wearing face masks compulsory?
The Italy response shows the concerns especially the false sense of security and potential resource impacts

I tend not to listen to politicos saying the opposite of each other, but I would expect people like the WHO to be independent and give the correct advice. Their advice isn't clear cut to me.
Not actually true, face masks are only compulsory on public transport, certain shops and other places you can't social distance.That's why IMO it should be enforced. Germany have bought in punishments for not wearing face masks (apparently up to €10,000) if you are caught without a mask on in public.
Our government need to find a backbone and implement similar laws / punishments with regards to wearing face masks otherwise people simply won't wear them consistently enough.
They'll flount the rules as they are doing now with quarantine.

They are not mandatory for wearing in public

Brilliant to have boris back and great news that we’ve past the peak and will have the exit strategy known by next week!
Not all public places as you were implying so no you were wrong.So still in public then?

You will not be fined 10k for not wearing a mask on public.

What an idiot. How much notice was there schools were closing, couple of days? Is he seriously suggesting that in that time they should have been able to transfer everything online?
You said you could be funded 10k for going g out in public without a mask. You can go out in public without a mask but if you wish to do certain things you have to put a mask on.Oh of course because public transport and publicly accessible shops don't technically count as going out in public. Thanks for clearing that up.

I agree on the economy bit though some experts think it will be a piece of piss and we can lockdown for 6 years if we have to
Amazing how following the changing science which the government has done all along seems in vogue today
Seems the government approach of following the changing science is gaining support
