Just watching the Lakers play the Pelicans in New Orleans and an ad popped up saying they are giving Pfizer vaccines at the arena during the game. Good to see

Doesn’t that kinda highlight how negligent the UK have been in considering foreign travel controls? And the makeup of the UK doesn’t even begin to explain obvious farcical decisions like kids going back to school for one day in January.

US is pretty darn multicultural too, think it a rather poor explantion for the many mistakes US government, both federal and state, have made.

The international travel ban was the most obvious failure, and while there will be economic and practical issues surrounding it, the hit to commercial businesses, the air business, even little things like where will the planes be parked, it was too slow to implement......

Using the private sector including our Universities and pharmaceutical giants to help with testing, and using the facilities of our private hospitals including their ventilators and ICU capabilities.

He suggested these to Hancock in a live Question Time show early in the pandemic, in which it was clear that he had a better understanding of our medical system than Hancock did.

Both of these suggestions were taken up by the incumbent secretary of state for health almost immediately.

I know it isn't difficult to upstage Matt Hancock Pete, but I do recall thinking at the time that Burnham was the first politician I had seen from any of the opposition parties so come up with anything remotely constructive.

Fair do’s....

People have way too much time on their hands would love to know where people work as everywhere I go seems to be ques during a normal weekday.

Cant be that many people still furloughed surely?

First of all, a claim of 95% of customers at a given Wal-Mart wearing masks at any point during the pandemic seems high. That said, I had to run to the local one yesterday, and while there were certainly fewer people wearing them that I’d seen in the past, I’d say it was closer to a 60/40 split of masked vs. unmasked.
