    • Has anyone tried offering these people a mask? Maybe they just don't have one yet
      ********
    • Masks available in any pharmacy, not an excuse, this kind of ppl just don't want to get the idea or if they do, they still against it as in...grafician
    • ...as in "don't tell me what to do, what to wear" etc. ignorant and stubborngrafician
    • tbf - masks were not super easily available for a long time. still aren't, really - I can't buy them in my local supermarket, for example.Nairn
    • not excusing things. just suggesting that masks should be available fucking everywhere, for fuck all cost. If they work, get them out there.Nairn
    • Don't make a barrier to entry a barrier to entry, na'meen?Nairn
    • Oh, you're in London...
      Idk, here masks are available at any pharmacy, or quick delivery online, cost like 2-3 euro per 5 pack, really cheap
      grafician
    • We're not allowed to go in any store, shop, public transport, etc. without wearing one. Heard the same from friends in Barcelona and Berlin.grafician
    • Oh, I have a mask in front of me and one in my bag. I only use them for public transport, of which I've taken like three buses over the past coupla weeksNairn
    • I just think they should be available *everywhere* and cheap. N95 and all. £5+ for a shitty mask? pfft.Nairn
    • I bought a box of masks off amazon. 50. £18 or so. Super easy. No excuses.shapesalad
    • But IF somebody can't afford a mask, offer to buy them some, instead of bashing them, just saying. I carry an extra one on me always just in case anywaygrafician
    • Plot twist. Guy in line was there buying face mask.

      jk, but I'm sure this scenario has played out somewhere by now.

    • Only masks I've seen for sale in the UK were boxes of ten disposable ones at the petrol station for £40 and then last week some kids ones in the Supermarket.webazoot
    • But as you say, Amazon and lots of online places selling them now. Seems to be about 60% of people on buses wearing them desipite it being mandatory.webazoot
    • yeah, availability here in the UK is terrible. Shouldn't have to go online (especially to fuckign Amazon of all the cunts) to have to get them...Nairn
    • ..especially as they're likely going to be increasingly mandatory. Main chain supermarkets should be gov't mandated to sell them, cheap.Nairn

    Three months after President Donald Trump suggested ingesting disinfectants as a treatment for coronavirus, a Florida man and his three sons are facing criminal charges for allegedly selling a toxic solution to tens of thousands of people as a cure for Covid-19.

    Mark Grenon, 62, and his sons, Jonathan, 34, Joseph, 32, and Jordan, 26, all of Bradenton, Florida, supposedly manufactured, promoted, and sold "Miracle Mineral Solution" (MMS), a chemical solution containing sodium chlorite and water, the criminal complaint affidavit says.

    The men sold the toxic bleach under the guise of Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, an entity they allegedly created in an attempt to avoid government regulation, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida said in a statement.

    Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/…

    "Sweden put stock in the sensibility of its people as it largely avoided imposing government prohibitions. The government allowed restaurants, gyms, shops, playgrounds and most schools to remain open."

    "Not only have thousands more people died than in neighbouring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better."

    "Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark."

    "What is only now emerging is how Sweden, despite letting its economy run unimpeded, has still suffered business-destroying, prosperity-diminishing damage, and at nearly the same magnitude of its neighbors.".

    Thread by @paulkrugman:

    It's now clear that the US took a decisive wrong turn in late March, rushing to reopen even though Covid-19 wasn't remotely under control. And here's one way to think about it: America drank away its children's future.

    What, after all, was the situation under lockdown? It was annoying but sustainable. Many workers and some businesses were receiving enough in emergency aid to avoid hardship, and we could have plugged the holes in that safety net, making lockdown tolerable much longer.

    Could we afford to do that? Yes. Borrowing costs were very low. There were no financial constrains on taking as long as necessary to control the virus. But there was one crucial thing where lockdown inflicted long-term damage: education.

    Students really need in-person teaching; we now know, if we didn't before, that remote learning is a very poor substitute. So our policy should have been to do whatever it took to make reopening schools in the fall relatively safe.

    What actually happened, however, was that many states, especially in the South, rushed to resume business as usual, allowing big parties, opening restaurants and — incredibly — bars. And the consequence of letting people drink in crowds was a viral surge.

    Now nobody knows either how we can open schools without disastrously reinforcing the pandemic, or how we can educate America's children without normal schooling. So as I said, we drank away the future of our children — and that of the nation.

    A French bus driver declared brain dead after an attack by passengers who refused to wear face masks has died, according to his family.

    Philippe Monguillot, 59, died in hospital on Friday, his daughter Marie told Agence France-Presse. “We decided to let him go. The doctors were in favour and we were as well,” she said.

    Monguillot was attacked in the south-western town of Bayonne on Sunday after he asked three passengers to wear masks – in line with coronavirus rules across France – and tried to check another man’s ticket.

    Two men have been charged with attempted murder, two others with non-assistance to a person in danger and another with attempting to hide a suspect, the local prosecutor’s office said.
