    Yeah, for a free society I do think we’ve done pretty well overall. The latest movement data suggests people are far more active now than first lockdown though Id also like to see indoor household mixing stats for Xmas period though. That’s not blaming anyone. I always thought it should be...

    I disagree though astute. If other countries avoid this new variant and can get the vaccine out quickly then I think they will swerve the mess that we’re currently in as much through luck/timing. Ireland, which unfortunately for them is the nearest country to us (most travel etc), now has the...

    They obviously don’t trust you 😊. Employers are wriggling out of it. The government have left it a bit open but most know (morally as much as legally) that staff should be working from home in the current situation if its possible for them to do so

    that’s great news ! (Must be a weight off your mind !). I’ve said before I know of three office based companies that are still having people in on rota, albeit reduced numbers, however, all could WFH. Crazy in the current circumstances when transmission rate is so high

    I agree that didn’t help (and he should’ve resigned) but I doubt it has a huge impact on people’s behaviours now. The messaging is very clear again ie ‘stay at home people are dying’ (it wasn’t as clear over Xmas) and yet roads etc are still busy It feels like the country has massive lockdown...

    All in the name of profit ! They’ve had a free run with a lot of other shops being closed, the least they can do is make it safer for staff and customers ! Sure they’ll raise there game now but should’ve been done weeks ago

    Agree Nick, but also when are the public going to start taking some personal responsibility ?! ps the two girls having a distanced walk outside didn't warrant a fine

    Think this will be aimed at supermarket owners/managers to get them to try to enforce distancing. Going back a few months they were limiting numbers, plenty of sanitiser to wipe your trolley down on the way in, more staff on tills to process customers shopping quickly (and stop unnecessary...

    Pretty sure if people followed current restrictions properly (and those that can WFH, actually do), numbers should start to decrease. Unfortunately the main word in that sentence is ‘if’ ! Only caveat is then minimising hospital spread which has been high Looking at the movement stats for first...

    The official NFL Thread

    Wolford looked pretty decent last week to be fair, more mobile than Goff but can he deliver again if he plays ?!! Agree about Bills and Colts and Ravens v Titans. interesting games. The whole weekend should be fun though (as long as saints win 😊)

    Bit of a clutching at straws but noted we’d done 620k tests (yesterday 550k)...before that under 500k per day so increase partially to do with extra tests maybe. The ONS is probably the best guide with them thinking 1m have got it ! People really have got to keep away from others as best they...

    I think you’re right, enough to keep him in a decent position or he’ll make life very uncomfortable for many (reminds me a little of Mandelson with less intellect). Get him back as chief whip, it’s the ideal role for the slimy f*cker !!!

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yeah, I meant me saying about the programmes was a bit off topic but agreed still relevant to the Trump shitshow

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Appreciate a little off subject but there’s a great doc called Central Park Five (used to be Netflix, not sure now) and then drama adaptation, When They See Us (Netflix) about that. Frightening

    https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ Bit of a lag. Johnson just said it’s now over 1.5m. Think it was planned to be ‘live’ daily from next week but stuck it on weekly data on site already I hope those grumbling about the roll out are having a listen to the army guy about the size and complexity...

    Youd have to stay locked down during winter as most businesses can’t just switch on and off every couple of weeks and transmission is significantly increased due to indoor mixing so as soon as you relax rules it will spike massively (as Tisza has indicated) Was also reading how the national...
