France in Focus

From Trisha Greenhalgh et al.

Trisha Greenhalgh is brilliant,she long advocated that the infection is airborne and spoke up re masks etc even when others were critical,She actually lost her mum and another close relative to the virus

I must say I have abandoned plans to enrol in the gym for the moment for the very reasons she says.

However masks protect others - and only partially protect the wearer - to protect yourself you need a visor as well to protect other exposed orifices like the eyes - yet she does not mention them.

Same here, J. We're lying pretty low at the moment.
When we work in PCR, we have to wear disposable gowns, FFP2 masks but not visors. We don't have the same contact that the nurses doing the tests do, where people lower their masks below the nose. The people doing the actual tests have visors, charlottes (hair protectors), gloves etc etc.

@Pathca We got ourselves tested today, results due some time tomorrow.

Good to hear it

Interesting article, thank you for the link.
It confirms my reason for telling the Maire I won't be at the next Réunion de Conseil - too crowded together when we could be spread out, councillors attending who don't wear their masks properly or not at all, and some of them have spouses who don't give a sh*t and go around with no mask doing kissy kissy with all their friends.
I have a PCR test to do before a hospital appt. and I do NOT want to to find I am positive.

I've split off some posts and created a new thread, as this one was starting to get confusing - viewtopic.php?f=44&t=784

Thanks Char

Thank you Char. This topic was becoming unintelligible ...
