Or as Antoine Léonard Thomas aptly captures Descartes’s intent “dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum”
Re: EU. In or out?
I see face coverings in shops are going to be mandatory from the 24th this month. I'm puzzled by the delay - surely if there's a risk which masks can mitigate, that risk is there now.
And does anyone know that Gove meant when he said that he trusted people's common sense on face coverings in shops? Is there some cirtieria as to whether one wears a mask in a shop - number of fellow shoppers and/or size and shape of store perhaps? A bizarre statement and an abdication of leadership.

Re: EU. In or out?
Some people doubt that i can think (dubitant cogito). .. they are usually called Dave (dubitat cogito).
But, (if) i know my thinking is faulty, I still therefor am (dubito adhuc ergo sum)
hmm .. a chance to use my schoolboy latin, for the first time ever after 50 years, and to show my infallible powers of research (good old Wikipedia quickie )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito,_ergo_sum
i had to look up `still` in latin

I thought the translation was:
“Fog in Channel, continent cut off“ One for the older members to recall.
A metaphor for the UK escaping the vicious tyranny of foreign control and the screen we will enclose ourselves with.
And it’s Bastille Day.

yep .. Mr Gove meant for us to use our common sense of distance and measurement .. ie .. 1 metre plus ..
but DC must have got hold of it, (in a break from his procurement deals and brexit negotiations and eye tests) and had to proclaim the reality of the Great British sense of judgement and propriety, and instructed his bobo to make it Law, sos we could all understand

Re: EU. In or out?
But why, if masks are compulsory wear in shops, are shopworkers NOT obliged to wear them? And why do people who need to lipread exempted from wearing masks?- surely the requirement for lip-readers is that the others, those speaking to them, don't have their faces covered ! These policy decisions are just not thought through

What's this got to do with the EU? Wrong thread, surely?
