Competence. It’s in desperately short supply these days. Can we perhaps get an emergency shipment from Sweden?
A nice big hole in the ground into which to shovel the bullshit would be nice too, but I’ll settle for competence.

I feel as a Brit , all of this enforced optimism is a cultural encroachment on the way of life of my people.

Since when did subjects of the crown have optimism ? 
They’ve been open during the whole period.

Too right. We need to have a good old moan and a whinge, for Queen and Country. It is our solemn duty.

Can also vouch for that in my area.
New rules say they must remain closed, but where I live they never shut.
I’m guessing there are hair-cutting barbershops versus the “entertainment” barber shops, for “tea” and the like? The former remained open, and the latter will still be closed. Although I thought those had mostly disappeared decades ago.
Such a pity that what happened in Wanhua didn’t stay in Wanhua.

We have a chance to get Covid down to zero. We managed it last year; let’s get it done again.

One thing I noticed with today’ figure is less than 10k tests were performed. This is a big reduction compared to previous Thursday where there were more than 30k tests performed.
Not sure why there is such a dramatic decrease in testing.

I went to a beach this afternoon for the sunset. It was my first time in this location. I was very surprised by the number of people. Around 80 people, few were in the water (mostly parents with kids), about 15 surfers, all of them had a mask in the water while surfing. Nobody seemed worried about controls and it was nice to see some normal life.

Well yes the putting-on-a-mask while surfing to avoid a potential fine is absurd but I mean people were having fun, that the main thing.
So were there any jobsworths in uniform making sure that people wore their masks while swimming?
No, nobody.
