National lockdown in Jan or before Jan?
I'd be in favour of starting a national lockdown on Boxing Day at 6pm. Keep the whole country restricted to essential movement only, coming to an end at 11pm on Monday 11th January. Delay the schools going back until January 12th, delay the Universities until January 18th.










Delay all football until Digne, Allan, Rodriguez and Richarlison are fully fit.
 
This is the disappointing thing. And while not trying to have a go, there are certain people within certain age groups who quite frankly should be ashamed. I know it’s different for different areas and countries, but younger adults have let the side down imo......

I know lots of older people who aren't wearing masks while pretending it's due to medical conditions, when it isn't

This whole medical condition thing is selfish attention seeking nonsense.

If you aren't under a respiratory consultant, use oxygen or nebulisers, mucolytics, antibiotics, history of admissions, then chances are you can wear a mask.
People with mild anxiety and personality disorders are also claiming PTSD to the extent they are unable to wear a mask.

Selfish social terrorists who should be shunned by society and openly mocked in the street and refused access to even basic services unless able to prove their condition. If this was a disease that dissolved people's genitalia if they went outside without a mask then everyone would wear one. Because it apparently won't harm them personally, they take the selfish route.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have a similar condition, not PTSD or any sort but experiencing a panic attack that I will be out of breath. Still though, I don't bother with a proof and am wearing it when indoor at all times. Outdoor, almost never though, even in crowded streets..

One of my parents has horrendous asthma, has been hospitalised for it many times but has no issue with wearing a mask. There aren't many legitimate reasons for not wearing one.

On another subject there are many people out there reusing masks multiple times which is an absolute disgrace. If you rewear a mask you are a danger to people around you. Reusable masks have to be washed at 90 degrees after every use. Disposable masks should be replaced every 3 or 4 hours depending on the humidity.

Looks like the City game may be called off. A number of their players and staff have got covid

Yeah, I hate to think what percentage of people don't wash them or don't use masks safely/effectively.
