Fask masks provide 0% if you lift them off to cough and sneeze like I've seen people do in supermarkets. Guess they are regular Daily Mail readers as well.
The headline starts So, whats the point?
The answer is 100% - 90% = 10%. So they cut down the potential of spreading the virus by 10%, for very little outlay and inconvenience.
Have you bought a bike performance part which claims a 2% increase in power output performance?

That article doesn't say how many layers the cloth masks which allow 90% of virus particles through have though. If they're talking about the equivalent of "good jeans, shirts, and other apparel", then I suspect that they're talking single layer masks. I did a minimum amount of digging about this in late 2020, and it is recommended that if you use cloth masks, then 3 layers is the minimum so that the weave overlap! It didn't take a lot to find this, but I doubt the average Daily Mail reader would have enough gumption to get that far!

I’ve bought bike performance parts but then realised the best way to increase performance is to lose weight!….me, not the bike! |

I did the same in 2008; I couldn't afford a new bike, so I lost 2st in weight and had my old GSX-R750 lightly tuned i.e. Scorpion exhaust, K&N air filter, PC3 plus an hour on a dyno! 130bhp at he back wheel, plus 2st less weight gave me a real world equivalent power:weight ratio of the '08 R1 that I had my eye on!

It took two years but we finally have a case in our house. Our lad had an evening out in London and that has to be it. I wonder if we will all fall?

And coincidentally a nephew has tested positive at the same time.
Bloody youngsters.

I'm going for it lads! Just had a PCR test. Could I soon the ranks of the unclean? Will my lack of booster shot be a bad move?
Had this hacking cough come on really quickly yesterday at work, spent the night with hot cold achy thing and massive headache which feels like my forehead is being pressed on.
I guess there are still other illnesses to catch other than covid but there's been an acceleration of it at work as we all got crammed into a smaller office, 2 buildings into 1 and cunts have been in coughing and spluttering all week.
Lateral flows were negative but I need see my parents so I need to be sure. Then again I don't suppose they want what this is, even if it's not covid.

Nice try for yet another Biden put down Beefmeister but Mekon just said that he didn't get the booster and this one is proving to be the best prevention of the new variant. |

It's an odd one. My mate got it and his partner and 2 kids didn't. Kids aren't vaccinated. everyone else in my work team that has had it, most of them post booster. I'm the 10th out of 12 to fall. Once the shared kitchen went back into use it was always going to be open season.
Most of the those who got it tried to follow 'the rules', way more than me I guess. 2 steps forward one step back as I feel a bit shit again. Thank God I bought a new tablet recently to pass the time.

As for Biden, he’s just as inept as Trump but he gets a free pass most of the time, so yeah I’ll criticise him or anyone else right or left based on their words and actions. |

I found out today that my nephew suffered a lot more than my lad. He had his jabs a lot earlier than my lad, even us of his parent age, due to his job. That might explain the difference in symptoms. My lad was a bit ill for 24 hours or so.
I felt a bit guilty not been covered in a shop today where the staff were.
Maybe the radiation from the ever nearing nuclear war will wipe this poxy virus out?

Only started showing up on lateral flow this evening. They don't seem very accurate at catching it early.
