    Not to mention that if we fund another round of small business support and furlough then we can't use that money to strengthen the NHS for this or the next pandemic and the debt snowballs. As a counter, though, it's disappointing that the most hard line anti-lockdown crew are also those who...

    Rather than Roland Rat you should have used Desperate Dan.

    Meanwhile the WHO say "don't panic". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-59526252 "How worried should we be? We need to be prepared and cautious, not panic, because we're in a different situation to a year ago," she said. WHO emergencies director Mike Ryan meanwhile said the world currently had...

    You've not given much to work with there but I assume as Juliet Samuel is a regular Telegraph columnist, rather than a Doctor she's no more qualified to write about Covid than anyone who contributes to this thread. In fact, all you've proved there is that someone who is paid by the Telegraph to...

    That sort of data is freely available already. If you own a phone, a laptop or have walked somewhere with CCTV or had your photo posted on a friend's Insta or Facebook you are already in the system. The ship has sailed. Just from interacting on here you know who I am and what I do and I know...

    Exactly the same type that would blame a global financial crisis on Labour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interesting comparison yesterday in town. Went out to do some shopping. Had a look for a book in Waterstones. Every single customer had a mask on including me. An older, educated demographic. Moseyed in to Size to look at trainers. Full of younger people and not one single mask between them. On...

    It gives them the ammunition to say something but they're not wearing them today. There's a small but noticeable group of mask refusniks who wouldn't stick one on if Boris himself was stood in front of them. I do fully expect most people to be a bit more reasonable than that after 19/7 however...

    This. No one has said you should NOT wear a mask, merely that it won't be enforceable by law. That's entirely right. While it has been the law I've seen untold f**kwittery on both sides of the argument. I've seen people driving in cars by themselves with facemasks on. There's a girl who walks...

    Some maybe. My new company has a guy who is diabetic with a wife who is immuno compromised. He's not been in to any of the in person meetings and everyone's completely supportive of him.

    By making a temporary change to employment law so you can't be sacked if you choose to work from home without it affecting your performance.

    It's time to stop legislating lock in and start legislating "at your own risk" though. Perhaps a removal of restrictions but with protection in law for those who can't or don't want to go into a busy office on a busy train. Legislation has been swift in the pandemic. This can't be too much to ask?

    I've been back in the office in London one or two days a week for the last month. It's been great. Got loads more done, not been interrupted by people filling your day with pointless Teams calls and been out for beers and food after work more or less each time. Every time I've been in there are...

    I honestly can't see compliance lasting much after the first bit of warmer weather. Plenty of illegal raves last summer and down here Brighton Beach and Hove Lawns were absolutely packed on every hot day. Throw into that an older generation who will think they're invincible (though from the big...

    You can be pretty insightful when you want and you are spot on about me. Having been in East Asia for two previous pandemic scares that came to nothing I couldn't really process that this one would do - at least not until too late. And my posts were certainly self-defence. I like to think that...

    A lot of that is true. I was certainly in the “it’s nothing” camp for a good long while. I really needed to see things from a Western European perspective and to allow reality to overcome personal experience. I’d been in Asia for SARS and Bird Flu, one of which was controlled relatively quickly...
