They wouldn't really gain anything out of it, there's zero evidence for it, much evidence to the contrary and the only people who are saying it are coincidentally all utter weirdos who think everything that happens is a conspiracy. If you wanted to use Occam's Razor here, you're more than welcome

Let me put a more fundamental question back to you: do you believe its the right of any enterprise to be allowed to place the public at risk and their own workers? That's what's happening here...and they're receiving subsidies to do so.

Businesses have to bend to doing what's best for the whole of the society they exist within. That's what they shoud have to do, but, of course, we have a government who encourages them to do the opposite. And they take advanatage of that.

I have zero sympathy or empathy with these sectors...not in a pandemic I dont. If it's a choice between keeping less people infected and seeing their businesses opening, I'm going with the former, with bells on.

To be fair though, Dave, it is clear from your MO that if the government refused to let the sector try and survive, and this resulted in mass redundancies that you would be screaming at the tories for consigning these people to the dole. Until we are all living in your socialist bubble, you won't be happy.

Experts say there's no chance it could be manufactured mate.

Not in China any way, it would have broken in a few weeks. AMIRITE? LADS??

We shall. All 25-27 so not really worried if we get it even though most likely 80% already at it at one point or another. We all went to Mardi Gras so all good

Took two trains and a tram yesterday and never wore a mask once. It was 50/50 masked and non masked.
