No one (although never say no one) would argue that surgeons' human rights are being compromised because it's compulsory for them to wear a mask during a surgical procedure. It's to protect patients from the risk of infection. And being made to wear a mask in an enclosed public space like a supermarket is to protect others (as well as ourselves) against the risk of infection. In the middle of a pandemic, that's a perfectly reasonable precaution to insist upon. You (that's a generic "you", by the way) aren't being systematically oppressed just because you're being told to wear a mask under certain conditions, any more than your surgeon is. Covid denialists are probably beyond being reasonable, but that's no excuse not to shove their dumb shit back down their throats. If I'm a tad sensitive about this, it's because my wife has to work with the great British public and she ticks two boxes that place her in the "vulnerable" category and make it extremely dangerous for her to catch Covid. It pisses me off to no end when total fuckwits risk exposing her to a life-threatening illness through their own selfishness, laziness and stupidity and insist they've got a right do it, just because they don't want make even minor modifications to their own behaviour under certain circumstances. Utter scum. "If I get it, I'll probably be OK. So why should I care?" Because it's not just about you, you dumb, shit-for-brains fuck. If you catch it, you can spread it. --- Watching the shadows burn <cite>Firewerx posted [p:946574522] in The UK is ...
