Much credit to Celtic for the tone of the statement released in relation to Boli Bolingoli breaching quarantine restrictions.
No room for ambiguity in it whatsoever in an era when it is always someone elses fault.

Seen 1 report that 'herd immunity' had (they hope) more or less kicked in - I don't believe a word of it.

Common sense basically.
For sure. I think it's important to remind ourselves though, as it's been a fairly long slog, and it seems quite likely that the severity of the situation will lapse for people, especially if their financial situation worsens.
Straight to stage 3 lockdown due to 4 cases, compared to the UK where it is "why do I have to wear a mask inside, it is only a dozen people dying each day"
Hope they get it under control quickly, I have a feeling she will.

Unless a vaccine is found what they are doing is simply unsustainable.
Gotta live with it as best we can.

I think it has lapsed for a lot of people already regardless of their financial situation.
It might make sense if you have such low numbers of cases where it might be possible to completely eradicate the virus. Although I'm not convinced that's actually feasible.
We have to make balanced decisions in the UK because eradication isn't possible without completely destroying the economy.
Quite probably. I've caught myself doing it recently, as I'd have to think what I'd have to do if I got symptoms, and indeed what the symptoms are now. What was once automatic now requires a bit of thought.
This is what is wrong with all of this so far. The figures are so skewed we will never know the real death figures.

'In England, we count all those that have died who had a positive Covid-19 test at any point'
Daily covid death count could be scrapped
A review will examine reports that officials were "over-exaggerating” the number of deaths from coronavirus.

Like you, I would need to check what to do if I had symptoms, but the other stuff, like the easy stuff (SD/mask/washing hands), is second nature now. Normal even.

Whatever the official figures are, double them.
Deaths? I think people that have actually died because of Corona virus would be a tenth of what they've told us so far..
Liked the article says. Dies in a car crash. Had Corona. Dies from Corona. It's very dodgy numbers..
