    I've had that disagreement with several people. You have more restrictions than France. France has more restrictions than the UK. It is as though ours is designed to keep a steady flow of people getting the virus so not to overwhelm the NHS but also to eventually get enough people that have...

    Not those of us that have continued to work at least. All jobs that take 2 people within 6' have stopped. And a lot of us are working so many hours to make up for those not allowed at work that we sleep and rest most of the time we are not at work. Another 72 hour week for me this week. But am...

    Calm down dear. If it wasn't funny then it wasn't funny. Comedy is supposed to be funny.

    Worked for them since the mid 90's. Even moved my wife and younger kids 200 miles away from the older kids to change plants. But giod employers are rare. The wife's mother died boxing day. When the funeral was arranged the wife couldn't get a flight from France. So they let me have an extra 2...

    Depends how it is handled. About 500 people are employed where I work. Those who can work from home do. Thise with underlying health issues of any kind are off on full pay. We have people in sterilizing what can be touched 24 hours a day. Our temperature is checked each day on arrival to work...

    Oh OK. You said you know that those who smoke and end up getting the virus will have worse symptoms. You know this because you have a degree. Yes it is the Mail. But it quotes where all the evidence has come from. French researchers plan to give nicotine patches to coronavirus patients and...

    And not much of a restriction as nobody knows how long you have been out for.

    Wife has now been informed that the choice will be down to parents if their kids go back to school when they reopen. Suppose it is changing all the time for yourself. How are the people that live near you taking it? Do they want to get back to work?

    Not a surprise as a few have been too harsh on Starmer on here.

    Couldn't tell what? I put a link up to how smokers look as though they have less chance of getting the virus. That is it. Then your POV counts more than mine because you have a degree. Best thing is you don't know what qualifications I have as I don't keep mentioning them. I have never...

    So I'm being facetious. You've got the degree. Yes infection rates and severity are different. But I didn't say about the severity. The article didn't say about severity. Yet I am the one who is supposedly being facetious. So let's forget about your point scoring. Why are smokers 80% less...

    And want to share a tab while social distancing. How about sharing a spliff? Smokers love socialising. I actually miss not standing around with smokers. But I now dislike the smell of smokers that I didn't really notice when I smoked.

    So smokers are 80% better of 'shielding' than non smokers?

    That is why they are testing nicotine patches. But who knows. Maybe smokers have already destroyed where the virus attacks so the virus has a problem taking a hold.

    Those of us that are looking for clues on what will happen next will agree with you. Those of us that know more than the experts will think you are mad.
