i think part of the reasoning too, is that if too many hospitality staff get Covid it effects the business's ability to remain open, which then hits the economy. Random people contracting covid in everyday life doesnt have the same impact.
But random people in every day life work in hospitality, manufacturing, transport, offices, medical etc etc industries so how is there any difference?

Besides hospitality, they don't come across a large number of strangers on a day-to-day basis though.
Commute to work on public transport, mingle with various pedestrian groups while walking to and approaching their office areas, meal break areas, various working groups, attending sports or other hospitality events as a patron, schooling. Millions of people rummaging around their general lives on a daily basis have contact with all sorts of strangers every day. Restricting one or two specific groups to wearing face nappies only during precise hours of employment is simply bull *smile*. One in all in or forget about it.

Unless something's changed, we still need to wear a mask on public transport. The rest of those examples don't involve face to face contact with dozens if not 100s of strangers on a daily basis, which is why they should continue to wear them. But I'd prefer if we all just wore masks.

I still wear a mask to the shops, in the supermarket etc. Partly out of habit, and partly becuase I have so little trust in other people lately.
The same pricks who bought all the pasta, rice and toilet paper, would be the types who don't isolate, or take precautions.

LOL... I do this sometimes, it's more to do with going from place A to place B where a mask should be worn and it's easier to leave it on, and then you don't forget to put it back on as well.

so the TOGETHER trial - largest double blind RCT'd clinical trial of Ivermectin and Fluvoxamine is in, and of course showed no benefit in terms of mortality or reduced hospitalisation, or reduction in hospitalisation time for Ivermectin.

Can't wait for @lamb22's hot takes on why this study should be ignored.

Is the very low incidence of heart problems with the mRNA COVID vaccines actually connected to the vaccines or just a very small number of correlations?

Myocarditis in young males is a well known side effect of the mrna vaccines.
I know a guy who has suffered it and 100% coinfirmed by his heart speciailist as related to the vaccine. He is 35. He has an examption from the booster.

He is a fit guy who has bee knocked around by it, and only now, 5 months later, is he feeling like he will get back to his old self.

Definitely a chance of myocarditis with the mRNA vaccines, but it's still very small, and usually very treatable. As others have mentioned if you do get the Covids, your chance of myocarditis is much higher. 100 times higher actually
