In 1939, warning signs clearly visible across Europe, lack of political courage, and naivety, allowed Hitler and Stalin to move forces to Poland, then beyond.

It couldn't be clearer, breathing in vaporised chemicals [that may also react badly with each other in the vaping process], is simply a risk too far!

Infection prevention and control isn’t rocket science! We need to consider costs & potential benefits of improving hospital ventilation & airflow systems, & the cost effectiveness of testing & respirators that reduce COVID, flu and other airborne diseases.
