You cannot drink through a mask though. I think the issue is that when they
go there is good intent, but the more they drink the less careful people
get. Its natural, people drink to help loosen up.
I think the main interesting thing is thus far, far fewer of the people who
have it seem to get it badly.
Indeed the death rates from all causes are down next to previous years
norms. This needs to be looked at in case we are being bamboozled by
infections of people which do not matter because we are better at testing
now. We did not know at the start, remember, so the rate then was probably
out of hand and had been for over two months before the low hanging fruit,
the vulnerable started to die. Normally if you know you are ill you don't go
out much, but with this you could have it but not even realise.

Aye, and it may come to that UK wide to get the schools open. IMHO
getting the schools open is far more important than letting people
**** their furlough money up against the wall. It's not just "a year"
that is being affected, it the whole education system from
pre-school/reception to University. The effects are going to be in
the system for a long time.

In this county yet another pub has been central to yet another couple
of clusters of positive tests. Every one who visted that pub from
opening to closing on two consecuative days has been urged to get
tested. Part of the reason for that is that over 20% of the recorded
contact details are either false, incomplete or ilegible.

When are the Great Unwashed going to get it into their thick skulls
that SARS-Cov-2 is here for the long term and the sooner they get
used to distancing and wearing masks the sooner other restrictions
can be eased (a little).
