Saves them creating and reforming real legislation, such as the Reform FOI Bill that is highly likely to be timed out because parliament busies itself with drivel like this.

It does tend to confirm what I argued here, that this kind of legislation is only likely to encourage more of the same. We can expect more & more performative recriminalisation, adding nothing to the law, but "sending a message" that "I feel your pain..." researchonline.gcu.ac.uk/en/publicati...

And now a goal down 😔

21. Ultimately, we need Govt, public health, and public opinion to cause a paradigm shift where we start taking infectious diseases seriously.
Why do we tolerate "winter pressures" EVERY YEAR?! They are predictable AND preventable. The investment would more than pay for itself...

16. What we need is information regarding risk (ventilation ratings, prevalence, etc) and to drop the ridiculous persecution of those who act to both protect themselves and others.
This is a trivial act, a minor inconvenience, you don't know who you're sitting next to on the bus.

14. The narrative that "masks don't work" not only denies physics, but is clearly biased towards fatalism, individualism, and libertarianism. How convenient to have something you don't like rubbished by "experts"...I mean, come on folks...
15. We don't mostly need "mandates"...

11. Airborne viruses include, but are not limited to: SARS2, influenza, RSV, measles virus, M-Pox (likely)...
12. Yes, virus particles are smaller than mask pore sizes, but aerosol particles are NOT.
13. Masks aren't sieves, they r multi-layered & chemically/physically optimised.
