With Churchill II as PM and Florence Nightingale II as health minister these are surely the best of times for the UK.

I know. But I couldn't resit being silly when you said to put an 'and' between PP.

There is a terrific question about the use of "and" 5 times in a row. In a logical sentence.

Ok. I will accept that wearing a mask reduces the spread. (if you have it).

I am saying that folk wearing them think it prevents them getting it. It doesnt. A placebo. Does nothing, but folk think it does.

In the supermarket, some the worst offenders I've seen for not keeping their distance are those wearing masks!

I noticed it today in the queue. All very distanced. Until 2 folk who both had "masks", moved together and nattered like normal.

We do give the impression everything we do is off the hoof mate.

That's because going into this the people in power couldn't give a flying one about us. They still dont.

But thats the point I am making. In the UK, folk are not wearing them to prevent a spread, they think they make them immune.

Spot on this roydo. A few neighbours round us my missus has spoken too who have been wearing a mask when they've gone the supermarket have said exactly the same thing.

Article on the wet markets that includes comments from Dr Fauci. I hope that defining factor in the difference between this and previous outbreaks that are most likely originating from these places, is that China has also been badly effect economically, because at the end of the day finances are the only thing likely to really sway most people at the top of such organizations

China is reopening wet markets, as international pressure mounts against them

‘Shut down those things right away’ says Anthony Fauci.

Thing is, everyone will be missing sommet. Some not much at all. For me personally, I am more fed up that my lawn mower broke than anything else, but I am not walled into a 2 bed flat with 2 kids, on UC. Them folk will obviously have different priorities than me.

Like, and dont take this in the wrong way, what restriction(s) would you like to see lifted?

The sex ban for me.It's 3 years now.
