I haven’t once struggled to give people room in shops because I just respect other’s needs because I don’t know what they are. But I get frustrated with people blocking places like petrol station aisles, oblivious to anything or anyone and don’t understand anything other than ‘I’m in a mask so that’s sorted’ type view. I think they still forget the mask isn’t supposed to protect them, although that still doesn’t make complete sense unless your coughing.

[Link] An interesting read. I do think that logically being fit is a plus point but there's no doubt that it's worth keeping an eye on the significant numbers of people still be ill 3 months on, especially if that stays true as more months tick by. I'd say it's certainly a good time based on what we know of vulnerable groups for individuals to get obesity in check, improve diet and so on. I'm not saying it's a cure all though of course. Maybe just good sense, even in the absence of this particular virus.

Sir Keir Starmer has claimed that the test and trace system is “on the verge of collapse”. In an interview with the BBC, the Labour leader said the government should have used the summer to get a “very effective” test and trace system in place. But that did not happen, he claimed. At a time like this with a further wave expected, this is the last thing we needed.

The testing is bollox because of the false positives and them just testing more and finding more people positive (with lots of false positives), but the positives per tests remains the same. But I suppose that doesn’t fit Keira’s original and permanently nervous approach to this and of course he won’t step out of the European govt trend to this. If he had anything about him he’d pull the government apart over the shocking amount of people not getting critical organ treatment and body part operations. The hospitals were cleared out and didn’t backtrack on it when we were on the other side or the curve flattened and won’t now until whenever next year or god forbid whenever after 2021 as they keep hospitals from providing anything more than a fraction of its services as they ‘wait for a 2nd wave’ like they waited while the virus has been on the way down at least for months.
