Explain.
What does it mean?
People replying to Matt Hancock?
What did he say?
Do I just read the bit underlined in red?

It means touching elbows isn't in keeping with the government's advice on social distancing.
I just googled his love of elbow touching and came accross the attached.

I don't think anyone...well at least on here is questioning the fact the virus is real n happening.......but the mantra following the science and experts is flawed...... it is only as good as the scientists advising and piss poor compared to say the Australian scientists.
Or is the Gov Ignoring our science advisers or is our advising scientists shit.

i posted this a wee while ago in another thread. they ignore the scientists when it suits them, but there is more to it than just that. it’s 50 odd pages but there’s a summary at the start. interesting reading.

Other buildings round about the twins didn't collapse in that manner...but anyhoo as I said it's good to question stuff.....

Good to question stuff...if you are an acknowledged expert

Good to question...if you refer to a number of acknowledged experts

Not good to question if the sum total of your knowledge comes from Karen with her Facebook Masters in Wiki concrete MPs or Barry on the Youtubes.

Sometimes it’s good just to know you don’t know enough to make an informed opinion.

And there's the news anchor telling everybody it's just collapsed while it's still standing right there in the background.

Something seems off. But just saying that can get you labelled a CT, and a load of comments like "yea somebody sneaked in at night and rigged a demo job... do you know how hard that would be to do"?

I think it's fine to question, even if you're not an expert. But claiming to be an expert and disseminate your bullshit as fact - different story IMO.

That depends on if those people are going g out and standing around in big crowds protesting without masks? And encouraging others to do so? That’s my objection.

Mine too.

There's a problem with that though - which experts and acknowledged by whom? On that theory Galileo would have got nowhere. No new ground would ever get broken?

And it's still good to question ........... it's coming up with the answers that causes problems ...........

Science.

Whether it’s vaccines or the flashpoint of aviation fuel, the answer is science - there is no problem.

Why would Galileo have had a problem? He could prove his theory through mathematics. His proposition could be tested and verified. The self appointed robe wearing sky pixie botherers had no evidence beyond the word of some drunk Iron Age sheep shaggers on a hill.

History.

Galileo did (allegedly) have a problem - he wrote 'Two New Sciences' under house arrest due to not agreeing with the 'acknowldged experts' at the time. The fact that we have hindsight on this doesn't change that?
