I would imagine if someone breaks the 'rules' then it's because they don't agree with them.

No, you haven't insulted us and I thank you for it. This difference is purely contained upon this one topic area my man and there is much we agree on.

Quite so Cryrst.

I must admit, I don't think that's happened for many of us.

But I respect that this topic doesn't really fit right or left that easily.

It's more a state/individual or authoritarian/libertarian thing.

I might have issues with the effectiveness of libertarianism (it's been pretty useless like conservatism generally) but I've always respected its principles.

I forgot to mention the beach myth. And that article is from the Guardian, where probably all readers are lockdown enthusiasts.

That sounds about right. Around two days prior to showing symptoms people are especially likely to spread it. Likely right on the other point too, there are situations where they believe individual people may spread it to an almost improbable amount of people. From what I've read super spreaders are more likely to be old and-or overweight (thought to them possibly breathing more forcefully). At least these groups are both targets of vaccination so that's something.

I'll be sure to watch it on catch up. Thanks for the heads-up!

So large corporate firms are starting to make noises about an en masse phased return to in office working from the beginning of April.

I do wonder what is going to happen to people who for some reason have gone along with the romantic ideal of 'we'll never have to work in an office again' and either sold themselves into that ideal completely or actually sold their flats or houses and moved 3 hours away thinking this scenario would be permanent.

I was baffled at the time with all this moving out for home working nonsense, plus all the sycophantic dross about 'it's here to stay'.

No, no it's not. What is here to stay is more flexibility than ever before over home working, not permanent home working, and that won't apply across every sector. What this has taught me is that for most industries all staff working from home for the majority of the time is actually not as efficient, culturally beneficial or in most cases as professional as it is made out to be.

I would assume prices will switch back somewhat – inner city up, outer city down. It was always going to be a temporary situation... anyone that thought otherwise, well, I'd love to hear their reasoning as to why they thought it would be permanent.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.
