I was scanning Boris' new edicts. These will work fine. Everyone knows Viruses dont go into pubs in daylight hours or go into schools. This is going to be the winter from hell in England. (I hate to say it but Scotland will do better, being more organised with tracing.) So my advice is stock up on everything NOW, upgrade your internet and cable TV coverage and stay inside, wearing a mask in you go out the front door. Boris likes the American plan.😷

@Adaydreambeliever Yes. I agree his motivation is different. However the result will be the same. Pubs in particular are super spreaders places. Here we are winning the battle.. But once its in the community the way you have it, the only options are close onlmost everything and wear a mask, or order more ventilators and body bags.,😷

@whowasthatmaskedman It's utterly insulting that he thinks people are so stupid.. it annoys me! lol.. don't get me started! But I do think we will fare slightly better as we don't have anywhere near so many right-wing-nutter idiots.. Generally speaking we do still have a highish compliance rate, well, compared to America.. I suspect it will be bad, very bad... but not quite as bad as America.

@Adaydreambeliever I agree. The only thing working againt you is the population density in the bigger cities..😷

I wouldn't be surprised.. the rumour is that the scientists are being ignored and what we are being fed by Boris and his crew is little more than horseshit!
