Sorry Maggie it sounded as thought I was poo pooing your post , no such thing was meant I was just making my observations :-D

LaGooner in some areas it could be due to pollution, but the Japanese I know in this country wear them both in Japan, and here, when they have a cold!
Japan is slightly above Great Britain when it comes to air pollution.

Take it how you will

I agree, Belle, and fair and square in the derriere!

He is a liability to everyone around him.

He does not seem strong enough to admit his faults. I hope his latest gaffe will convince some of his supporters that he is a president who does not act in the best interest of US citizens.

Trump is an utter and total disgrace by defiantly taking his mask off and stating that the virus is nothing to be afraid of. He says he is a leader, well he should start acting like one!

Rant over :-)

If he does actually have Covid19, he could find that his words and actions will come back to bite him :-0

:-D :-D :-D :-D

I wear a mask because I'm so ugly :-(

In those places they wear masks because of the bad air pollution

In places like Japan, Korea, China etc, before the pandemic, people would wear a mask if they had a cold, out of courtesy - so they wouldn't spread it.

The late Michael Jackson prophesied a coronavirus-like global pandemic sweeping across the globe and wore his trademark mask to avoid catching it, his British ex-bodyguard claims. Matt Fiddes, who watched over the King of Pop for a decade, said Jacko realised the potential for a germ like COVID-19 to spread globally as he jetted around the world on tour. (C&P from the Net).

I have a GP Letter removing my obligation to wear a mask for health reasons.
All the same I wear it around as much as I can aiming for a quite life.
I have no idea if Johnstone snr has such a dispensation too. Either way there is no need to blatently upset people esp if your son is PM ( in mame at least ).

It is somewhat disquieting to see the the NHS/PHE are using software dating back to XP days and that snr management were unware of the issues or ignored them. NOw , instead of sorting the matter out, external contractors will be required to supply Covid test data in XP (.XLS) format which is sure to bring up more problems.

He wasn't fined the first time, as he wasn't caught by an official, and is unlikely to be fined for his (at least) second breaking of the law, under the same 'get out' clause.

I've just seen that Boris's father stanley as been at it again and gone out on the tube without a mask if this is true when is he going to find because that's the only way he is going to learn

'Never speak dead of the ill'.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

The 'Greek Chorus' of doctors who came out en masse, presumably leaving their patient alone (I think not) reminded me of the bit in 'The Full Monty' when the bailiffs come to take George's TV away and all the others appear in their undies :-S

I doubt trump has a heart condition.

Aren't you supposed to have a heart for that?

We are all born with a lifetime guarantee.

Had to laugh at the News last night when the senior doctor looking after Trump said that he was 'very happy with the President's condition'. Rather ambiguous as that depends on whether he actually supports Trump or not! Then a load of people in white coats and nurse's uniforms trooped out to be introduced as the entire team looking after him come to show their support. So had he been left on his own?

Early on a heart condition and cholesterol levels were memtioned.
