Oh probablyPerhaps. But couldn't a government who in March wiped clean the NHS historical debt and seem to be able to print money aid at will, be able to fund our entire population for vaccines?

Bunch of clowns at WHO. They've flip-flopped more than a tropical beach. And with dodgy funding to boot.WHO statement on BBC site today.
- WHO warns there might not be a 'silver bullet'
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said that there is a possibility that a āsilver bulletā answer to defeating the virus might never happen.
Director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a virtual press conference: āThere is no silver bullet at the moment and there might never beā.
It comes just days after the WHO warned that the pandemic was likely to be ālengthyā.
A number of trials are taking place around the world to help try and find a vaccine to fight the virus.
Last month, an Oxford University announced that its vaccine appeared safe and triggered an immune response. More than 10,000 people will take part in the next stage of the trial.
British social distancing at it;s finest. Twenty or more sat tight next each other under the red parasol. How many masks can we see?
I agree about the close proximity, but why would you wear a mask when you are drinking and eating?
I think large this is incorrect information. Face masks reduce the vapour that is release thought the mouth and nose. Indoors regardless of face masks the risk is only reduced of catching Covid when sat 2m away. Outside things are much better and 2m maybe all you need to do.The other thing about wearing masks which doesn't seem to get a mention now, unless the WHO have changed tack again. I thought that it was only coughing/spluttering/sneezing that would spread particles from an infected person. So, if you are sitting a couple of feet away from someone and just talking (not shouting), then there isn't a problem so the masks are largely irrelevant in that situation.
Being a bloke is so much easier though.Mine stays in my pocket, I put it on when I go into a shop, put it back in my pocket when I come out.
And yikes. I just assumed gender. Apologies.Being a bloke is so much easier though.
You don't carry around a huge bag that you are constantly losing stuff in
I used to do that with condoms.I wonder if the fact that people will be constantly touching and rearranging their masks (I know I do even though I try hard not to fiddle) will be an issue with contamination.
I wash the ones I have as I can't afford to continually buy fresh ones each time but I admit to wearing them and then shoving them in my bag til I need it again.
That's probably not helpful in protecting me or others
What a charming image I now have in my mindI used to do that with condoms.

Hmmmmm, I can see why they've decided that then.I think that's one of the issues why Holland have not made them mandatory.
Holland's scientists say there's no solid evidence face coverings work
While 120 countries in the world, including much of Europe, have ordered citizens to wear masks in public places to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the Dutch are doing things differently.www.dailymail.co.uk
A lot of it is all for show. At my gym we have to clean the equipment after using it, but everyone goes through the motions. There's no way it's achieving anything; probably actually putting us in more danger as the squeezy cleaning spray is a massive vector of disease because every person in the gym is touching it! But we all flail a bit of tissue around just to appease the rules.I know I shouldn't, but I always reuse them. I have a box of those cheap and cheerful blue paper ones. I have only used 3 so far and just rotate them. Obviously if I sneeze into one, then I would dispose of it. I am basically just wearing them for show, and because the law dictates it.

What make is your PC?I'm a dreadful fiddler. Mind you, I do come from a musical family - even the sewing machine was a Singer.
