Boris Could Be In Danger Of Getting Covid Again.

I hope not. I didn't realise he nearly died last time or know it was that serious. It must be a tough job fighting it off for a second time at his age and level of fitness. Any thoughts?

the rule is still 2 metres, bobb, unless you have masks or open windows, neither of which appears to be the case in the photos
//Stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings or increasing ventilation indoors).//
Of course there may be dozens of invisible air extractors whirring away

Well restraunts were allowed one meter if you were sat back to back, it was one of the extra measures. But still they should of realised the need for a mask specially as there were photos being took and I think its best to stay 2m where possable. But now we'er being dooma nd gloom merchants , ilovemarjie will say
//I don't see a lot of social distancing there. I don't know about you, but when I get that close to people I put on a mask.//
I find that rather worrying. Assuming Boris is 5’10” or thereabouts, the people in those photographs appear to be at least three feet from each other. Their faces could be even further apart than that. And in each one the two participants are facing in the same direction. Are you seriously saying that in such a situation you would wear a mask? No wonder half the country seems to have lost its marbles.
//a wonder if your able to give an example of anything a said which is hysterical or untrue.//
Try this:
//…even with social distancing you can still catch it 5 meters away or in the air//
I don’t know how untrue it is. I suppose in theory the disease can be contracted at 50 metres with a hefty dose of bad luck and a following wind. But your statement certainly seems to be bordering on the hysterical when even the “science” suggests that 2m is usually a safe distance in most circumstances, especially outdoors.
Once again, I am not for one minute “denying” that Covid exists or that it can be a serious disease for many who catch it. But everything in life carries risk (as I hope I have demonstrated). Like it or not, this disease will spread and the point has passed where it is sensible to believe that it will not. The real "deniers" are not those who refuse to accept that it exists. Instead they are those who refuse to allow the population to properly consider the level of risk it poses to them individually and to take only the sensible and practical precautions necessary to mitigate that risk.

Am just saying theres no gaurantee you'll avoid just by following the guidance of 2m or 1m+ but off course the risks less the further away you are, I never said you would get it or would be likely to get it. The hysteric's are not coming from me but those looking to mock peopel who are cautious and think of others.
As for not wearing a mask in Downing St it'd be silly to keep taking masks off and on in the meeting depending on which way you face and am sure the whole meeting wasnt held standing side by side not looking at each other , so Borris and MP should of worn one and wearing a mask wouldnt of been a case of 'losing their marbles', its being careful and considerate which seems to go against the grain sadly for some on here

I wasn’t commenting on the meeting. We don’t have any details of how far apart the participants were or whether they were wearing face coverings. I was commenting on this:
//I don't see a lot of social distancing there. [in the photographs] I don't know about you, but when I get that close to people I put on a mask.//
When I get that close to people momentarily as they were in the photographs I do not put on a mask. In fact I don’t put on a mask at all, but that’s a different discussion. But if I did, I wouldn’t do so in those circumstances.

I'll try again (last time). I wasn't commentating on the meeting; I wasn't taking the context into account; I wasn't considering the circumstances. I was commenting simply on this:
//...but when I get that close to people I put on a mask.//
I find it astounding that people of sound mind in this country should consider putting on a face mask when they come within a few feet of another person.

With peopel so dismissive of scientific medical advice its no surprise that UK as the highest number of deaths in Europe and infection rates and hospital intake figures that are worryingley high- then they express disbeleif that we follow other goverments and have lockdowns and restrictions. England should of learnt from Wales, tho we should of acted stronger here sooner too
