There's data in the link which you might have missed, but hey ho. In fairness you did have to scroll down a bit to find it. If there's a country that's successfully applied the strategy you claim to support, please tell me more about it. But you can't spend one week frothing about one country's...

Sorry to keep you waiting. The data cited by the government is here if you want to look: Portugal moved to amber list to guard public health against variants of concern following first traffic light review Maybe that's not good enough for you, and that's fine. But your stance on flights is...

So they've moved it off the green list for no reason, then? If that were true, I'd question it as well but I'm not sure I believe that. I thought you were really worried about the risk from incoming flights?

Putting people off holidays is probably a good thing in terms of making sure we open on June 21 though, right? Not great for the travel sector and various economies in the Med, I guess.

U ok hon?

Peter Daszak isn’t a crank, and nor is it unreasonable to question the WHO investigations into the Wuhan lab. But is there some kind of smoking gun here in this email to Fauci? Not that I can tell. Even the US intel agencies don’t know what’s going on. There isn’t this sudden mountain of...

I’m really excited. The sun might be out. We can go to the pub and watch meaningful football with friends again. My expectations aren’t sky high, which probably helps, but I’m guessing I’m not the only one looking forward to it.

Not sure about this Deliveroo guy up top

So you agree we should be following the science, and not be unduly influenced by those with a financial interest in reopening ASAP?

Well it's easy for you to say that when you have a clear financial and emotional interest in reopening etc etc. Tim Martin might make a similar argument. I don't disagree with any of what you're saying - Tim Martin might well be right too! - but the idea that we should be discounting/ignoring...

Without meaning to discount anyone's opinion, there's an obvious tension when people with a financial interest in restrictions being lifted on June 21 demand that it happens. For the scientists arguing that it might instead be dangerous (and I don't know how "easy" it is for them to do so), what...

Last hours of the Bank Holiday Monday getting seriously sloppy on here, that was some all-time thermonuclear internet warfare being waged, just gutted it got deleted before we could get the reaction.

By her own admission, she could have handled this better, but to expel her from the tournament would have been madness. I think by withdrawing in this fashion she's handled it with dignity and raised some important questions. While most of her peers don't seem to share her anxieties, props to...

Nick’s disguises are getting better

I haven’t been to the supermarket since November for fear that someone on here will collar me for not being 2m apart at all times.

I’m not sure there’s growing evidence for the lab theory, it’s more just that it’s been legitimised by the news that parts of the US intel community are leaning that way - and they’re not confident on any of the current theories. I think it would have been taken a lot more seriously had it not...

Looking forward to everyone who was furious about the Super League cranking up the hype machine for this game. I hope the Abu Dhabi billionaire beats the Russian billionaire!

Heathrow is in Hounslow, which is one of the hotspots for the Indian variant, so I think that’s where they’re sending the extra capacity.
