The reopening roadmap looks pretty good to me. The sweet spot for the things I enjoy will be in 6 weeks’ time and that’s not awfully long.

I do almost all my casual web browsing from a phone these days; it’s as good a way as any to occupy dead time. When I’m on a laptop or desktop it is usually with a specific purpose (work, content creation, etc). Even though I also prefer a full size keyboard, I unquestionably type more words on my p...

So will there be any now once we get past the middle of March and the imposition of restrictions starts being measured in terms of years? Surely that should be the point at which this has gone too far? Again, I doubt. My hope is that it will be accepted that there are restrictions and then there ar...

I wouldn't say that is obvious actually. Some restrictions yes (Hands, Face, Space, rule of 6, limits on household mixing etc) but they should always have stopped short of lockdowns and closing the economy. Until lockdowns are ruled out, irrespective of what happens, we will never get out of them. ...

I think it’s obvious that we had to be in lockdown while there were 1000+ deaths per day. Even if lockdowns didn’t reduce it by much it would be unthinkable to add to that figure. I personally disagree but I can accept I am wildly at odds with public sentiment in that opinion. But to quote myself fr...

So the good news is that we will soon reduce deaths to almost nothing and hospitalisations to a manageable number.

The bad news is that some people are still talking about the need to keep cases low...

If the rules are relaxed somewhat the cases will go up and the hospital admissions increase. That's what we saw this year in the UK and we had to go into a second lockdown because of it. If we don't go into additional lockdowns the NHS reaches breaking point. So where do those patients go? Yes Nigh...

If we're just going to ignore Covid and return to normal life what do you propose we do with everyone who is critically ill with the effects of Covid This is a misrepresentation I hear quite a lot, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone suggest Covid should be “ignored” and yet that’s how those calling fo...

I think this situation has become divisive to the extent that we are no longer in a position of arguing two sides of the same coin. I think you've hit the nail on the head here. It keeps being portrayed as two sides of the same coin - namely yet another divide between the far-left and the far-right...

The more folk get antsy about restrictions, the longer this goes on. The impatient are only hurting themselves. Except there's a bit of dishonesty about how long these restrictions are going to be around for. We've put everything on hold for a vaccine, without any guarantee as to when that will be ...

Maybe it’s to do with the upcoming seasonal move-everything-around-a-thon. There’s usually a burst in confusion (if not demand) with that. I don't know about others, but I have mostly stopped following the news about Covid. I'm just sick of it. It's always the same stuff on a loop, I'm honestly not ...
