    I was horrified when my mother started to read the Daily Hate Mail and started a long, but eventually successful campaign to get her to change.
    Whilst she was reading it, I had noticed her coming out with a lot of strange ideas about  health care, some of which were frankly dangerous. Luckily she trusted her son.

    @Songbird-1 if you accidentally flag someone all you have to do is to 'flag' them again and it is removed.  No time limit  :)

    As ever @steveTu you are unnecessarily flogging moribund horses.

    I have 9 masks I can change between.  I have also made a selection for OH and Possum and all the ladies in my patch group have been making them for their friends and families since mid March.  You are way behind the times!

    I know to touch them only by the elastics when I'm putting them on, wearing them and removing them.   I now about children under a certain age not wearing them and also people with certain medical conditions.

    It is our collective responsibility to do our utmost to limit the spread of the virus about which info/data/treatments/research are evolving far too fast for "studies" so we have to go on observed data.   


    I'm not flogging anything as far as I'm aware.
    I am totally lost though as to what relevance there is in your super collection of masks and how adept you are at putting them on and taking them off to whether kids at school should be wearing masks.
    The 'observed' data was referred to in the pdf I pointed out .

    Out of pure curiosity, which newspapers do the forkers read?

    I don't. Stopped wasting my money many years ago.
    I sometimes read The Herald online [our 'local' paper] or just bits and bobs online. TV and radio mainly.

    No newspaper for me either, since Rupert bought The Times I think, too long ago to remember.  Rely on the BBC,  love the World Service, radio is so useful as someone tells you about stuff and you are hands free to do things - win win  :D

    I don't even read the free one I nick from Waitrose. It is commendably absorbent though :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I must try that for drying out my walking boots and shoes @wild edges.
    It's about all they're good for - and compost!  :D

    We sometimes buy our local one during the winter, it's very useful for getting the kindling going in the log burner.  :D
