How long have you been here?????

And your picture shows exactly why reusable masks are a lot cheaper in the long run and can be made yourself so even less cost.

I still dont know what it is? Certainly not the Queens English

according to context, Chuff == CHF, but who Im I to judge?

Try speaking/pronouncing CHF as a word.

Well on the subject of pronouncing words.

I recall a famous Rugby Union commentator who had great difficulty pronouncing Borussia Mönchengladbach !!

So back to topic and the 'new normal' of facemasks in everyday life.

I just saw my 82 year old aunt who lives in Nyon, she has never worn a mask & always went shopping 3 times a DAY! She likes to see other people & does not like being at home all day! apparently shop keepers kept telling her to stay at home

Sunday Times this morning (5.7.20) leads with an investigation stating that the virus was responsible for the deaths of 3 men and the serious then unidentified serious illness back in 2013.

The men had been clearing bat droppings from an old mine some 1000 miles from Wuhan. Samples were frozen and sent to the lab in Wuhan...

This will finish up like the Kennedy assassination with so many different views and facts that we will never know what really happened.

Well look at that, finally something related to this topic that we agree on

However, at least according to the report I posted on not that long ago, the samples taken in November in Turin and Milano didn't contain Covid-19, only those from December (the 18th, if memory serves).

When I re-entered this thread, this was the first sentence I read, outside of its context. And I thought: "Is he dead?".

Certainly is. 'Steam train chuffing along the track'.

The Broadway star Nick Cordero has died of complications from coronavirus after being in a coma for several months. Cordero had a leg amputated and suffered several mini-strokes during his long stay in hospital.

Cordero was 41 and is survived by his wife and one-year-old son.

COVID-19 does not kill—or even affect—only the elderly and infirm, but indeed (as mentioned before), it seems that only celebrity cases get reported. In a sad parallel, Derek Draper, the husband of Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, has also been hospitalised for months with complications from coronavirus and only recently awoke from a coma. He had none of the "usual" symptoms of COVID-19.

Both men suffered considerable damage to their lungs and other body parts. "Survival" from COVID-19 is not the same as "healthy again".

Another way of looking at the growth of COVID-19 cases, copyright NYTimes, see graph.
US government failing badly in its duty to protect US citizens.
And for those who think it only kills old people, Nick Cordero, Broadway actor, succumbed at age 41.

Ooooppsss

So now people will start getting respiratory infections. By wearing masks one breaths back in a part of what one breathed out-CO2. Can't be good in the long term
