me n davek seem to have pretty similar principles on how this pandemic should go

And that doesn't worry you?

 

[degsy]

Not really. Utilitarianism.

3 steps to dictator heaven
Utilitarianism...its for your own good
Facism or Socialism...makes no odds either way when its so extreme
Totalitarianism...too late

davek; putting the 'National' in to his 'Socialism' on the sly

You'll be wanting to make the trains run on time any day now.
Edit; love your work btw, excellent wumming

People should wear masks in shops and public transport and in cinemas and museums; people dont need masks in pubs, restaurants, offices...because...well...erm....just because.

I wonder sometimes what does.

Just relating to Sharon's point. There are probably over a million workplaces in the UK, so what happens in one shouldn't dictate national policy. That's basic stuff rather than popular point scoring.

I suspect there’s many more examples across the country.

One of the departments in our place has a staff shortage because of people being off with the virus.

Perhaps, though it’s sort of akin to Johnson calling for fidelity to ones spouse, or Trump attacking elderly white people who layer bronzer onto their faces.

I reckon that the next "push" from bozo and cumstain wil be for fans to be allowed back into stadiums possibly at the end of September, BUT they will leave it up to the clubs to decide how many, rules on social distancing, and wearing of masks etc. Then if things go wrong, and spikes in infections rise as a result, they can blame the clubs
Cynical? Me? You bet

For sure, that's quite possibly the case. Just saying that you would hope that policy decisions are based on the available evidence from all workplaces across the country rather than just those within the cabinet.
