    Strange, can't find a link to where he actually said that, just articles with the quote. From the article itself, it looks like the six foot rule came from a study in the late 1800s about the distance bacteria can travel.
    This quote in particular would seem to confirm it was far from rubbish
    Here’s the thing: Even with this revised understanding of the spread of COVID, the closer you are to the person with COVID, the higher your risk of catching it.
    “As you get farther away from the infected person, aerosols become more diluted, so the chance of inhaling [particles] usually goes down with distance,” says Marr.

    Sean.....don't you know you're not supposed to ask questions like that. They are too thought provoking. And can you tell the audience Sean approximately how many people died in those riots and the approximate dollar cost of the property damage? I think the audience might be a little light on that info. And while your at it Sean, can you also send clips of CNN et al condemning the actions of those people. Oh wait you might have a hard time finding those.

    If you're against AntiFA, what are you in favour of?

    Funny how ~ Antifa behave like Fascists ~ Masked-up / violence / rioting / heading for a billion ( probably more ) or more damage in America / mostly peaceful rioting, burning, looting !

    It wouldn't be the first time that a group operated under a " dodgy name " ~ ~ The Nazi's were National Socialists but, very few Socialists would say that the National Socialists were Socialists ? !

    Quite a few people died during the Antifa / BLM riots ~ ~ They were very very very far from victimless riots !

    So are you saying you support all those deaths and property damage a few years ago? Surely you don't?

    You have a lot of views you can't back up.
    Mark - this post is in danger of getting lost. I'm sure you wouldn't want that

    Can I ask you again why you feel the BBC isn't a reputable news source any more?

    The only attempt at an answer you've given so far is because some American media have apparently likened Trump to Hitler

    No, it tells you those people are only interested in watching streamed shows on Netflix instead. It tells you nothing about the BBC's reputation. And it's only 2% of licence holders - 98% haven't cancelled

    Not really, cable cutting has been a thing for years
    Theres 64 million people living in the UK. It's about the same as 40,000 people in Ireland cancelling their license.

    Please do give us you're definition of fascism as the definitions i find online

    an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
    a political system that has a powerful leader, state control, and national pride, and does not allow political opposition

    Antiifa can be fascist as they aren't one group but a collection of groups some very differing views but collective in their dislike of the above

    The BBC have the huge advantage of not having advertisements ~ ~ And yet People are cancelling the TV license in big numbers ~ ~ In theory anyway, you can't watch any live television if you don't have a TV license in the UK ~ ~ Many People are making a political statement by cancelling their TV license ~ ~ There is quite a big thing re; Defund the BBC.

    People in the UK have no-where near the respect, that they once had for the BBC !

    Though the BBC do have their own scandals ~ Not least all of the sexual perverts that seem to manage to get work at the BBC !

    You don't have to have ads on streaming either.

    And 2% isn't a huge number. It appears a small number of people are now happy to binge-watch a narrow selection of shows; that's all

    It certainly doesn't show the BBC isn't a reputable journalistic outlet any more. Want to try again?
