The British government has been told that plexiglass screens could possibly increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission, according to documents obtained by Politico .
These documents give UK government ministers “clear guidance” that the plexiglass screens appearing in many offices and restaurants “should be scrapped.” It is unlikely that such screens actually decrease COVID transmission. In fact, they might increase transmission by blocking a room’s natural airflow.
Many plexiglass screens may also be rendered useless when businesses do not correctly position them—something that remains a common problem, per the documents.
The Independent is reporting that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s official spokesperson has shot down these claims, stating that they “come from a document we do not recognize and it does not reflect the latest government thinking.” Current guidance on plexiglass screens will thus remain in place until more evidence that businesses need to ditch them arises.
Britain remains stuck in “Stage Three” of their gradual reopening. Prime Minister Johnson initially targeted June 21 as the day to remove virtually all restrictions, though the emergence of COVID’s “Delta” variant has put a full reopening on hold. Official daily cases in the UK have more than tripled over the past month, though they remain significantly lower than their 60,000 cases per day peak in early January.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
