Surely numbers speak for themselves. You can argue the COVID rates as much as you like. But a spike like that is not because of nothing Precisely. I have no time for conspiracy theorists and denialism at the best of times, particularly around something like this - but if anyone is making the argument that Covid isn't real, or is being overblown, or that fewer people have died from it that we're being told, then they need to make a convincing case for why, in spite of all that, the death rate is higher than usual across the board.

Presumably his work is paying the fares but he collects the miles. That's why I used to use BA for work travel. One of the very few perks of having to travel for work; it sucks.

Is it a case we'd OK it and use it without WHO clearance, is there something I've missed or is it just spin and piffle? Edited July 20, 2020 by Tommy!

SuperBacon Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 How is anyone with glasses able to wear a mask? I have tried glasses first, mask first and it just doesn't work for me. Any hints please. There is no food in the house and I'm hungry. "JE SUIS GLASSES WEARER! JE SUIS GLASSES WEARER!" I screamed as I tried to go in Waitrose. I'm going to have wear lenses until this is over aren't I? ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2020 Are you talking about fogging? Get one with the metal bar in the nose that you can pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I actually mean it going around the top of my ears, which obviously my glasses do as well. Just feels super awkward, and puts the glasses all skewy as well. It doesn't help that I have, what looks like a modified pair of tights so the ear loop is quite thick. Ah well, I'll just wear lenses I guess. Four eyed people. The real oppressed.

Guest Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The straps presumably stretch far enough to meet behind your head, so use something to clip/fasten them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted July 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2020 I have to put my glasses at the end of my nose to stop fogging. I look more dismissive than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted July 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2020 Had the test this morning, my 2year old has a temperature (she is teething and had a temperature when previously teething) and while I don't think it's Covid-related her nursery, quite rightly, won't let her back without a negative test result. In addition, my wife is 37 weeks pregnant so a positive test result is a fairly big complication, if not in health terms certainly in labour logistics. I was genuinely impressed with how quick and efficient it was. We were in a d out in 5 minutes. Hopefully a negative is on the cards tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey_Piste Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I got the results back from the test I had on Monday. I have antibodies, which means I was asymptomatic.I have pretty much been a complete shut-in apart from working by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
