Masks and lack thereof

I wish I could get a cartoon on TV about them.
First it is only a mask if it covers your mouth and nose.
Secondly it is to stop you giving someone else the virus.
Noel Gallagher and others may think they are hard, or different or zany by never wearing one.

Well the real situation is this.

If you are eighteen or thirty and get the virus you may not even notice, or you may get a cough for two weeks.
I am seventy five with two heart ops behind me, if I get it's curtains. And there are millions in the same vulnerable category.

Now the students are back I have to be very careful where I go, and to watch where they are. And not just students plenty of oldies too.
I wear one, not really to stop my self giving it, but to be part of what should be a communal effort to stop the virus.

Of course all ja606 users are careful, but if you know somebody who is not, do us all a favour and give them a nudge about it.

I take it you plan on having no kids stretty with your concerns on overpopulation?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am way to selfish a person to care for an infant human being.

But then again I suppose with things as they are in the world it is more selfish to have them, especially more than one.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough, I sort of agree that atleast in western society 2 kids is enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think eastern society could do with chilling out on the whole having kids thing as well. can think of 2 countries in particular.

Or it could be solved by more responsible breeding.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Care to expand on how this would work in western and third world societies?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Personal responsibility Ole, personal responsobility.

of course this wont happen. And in about 30 years there will be too many people than the earth can sustain.

it is what it is.

Enjoy what you can, while you can.

Anyway as you have no sensible answer I will sign off with a sense of having madey point on masks and Trump
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You haven't. I wish you well 52. I obviously do not want you to die from this illness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course I did. Still no answer. But thanks for the good wishes, same goes for you

Stretty told me on another thread that he gets his news from OANN and something called Faux News.

Seems quite balanced.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh sorry!

I forgot to mention the other source.

He also gets his news from the Old Testament.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An excellent unbiased broadsheet I remember from my time perusing its content

China did have the one child policy for a while, India fair point, but kids are often relied upon to look after elderly later on, hence the big families

My biggest beef with those having multiple kids are the folk who just churn them out knowing they cant afford them thus burdening the state.
If you cant afford to have 5 kids keep your fooking legs closed Sandra

I don't think that excuses the huge numbers those two have. they account for about 33% of the worlds population. tbf the one rule in china shouldnt of been lifted.

Work with a lovely lady from india, her husbands parents really wanted a boy and it took 8 attempts to get there. That is insane, to me anyway.

I think both things are equally valid points.
