We have to hope the protesters are responsible enough to self-isolate so that they don't pass anything on to vulnerable people they may come into contact with - I'm sure some of the protesters will be carers, nurses, public transport workers, etc. They should ensure that they do whatever is...

But they're nowhere near back to how they were prior to covid. People ARE still aware of social distancing, mask wearing, etc., plenty of places are still closed, and crowds in usually busy places like central Rome just aren't there. Not to mention, the vulnerable will still be very cautious...

Tuck it under the bottom of your glasses, ie wear your glasses over it.

They weren't needed when most people were locked down and relatively few were on public transport etc. Now, as we come out of lockdown (assuming you want us to come out of it), more and more people are out and about, on trains/buses, etc., but the virus is still out there, hence why face...

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-plan-to-lift-sunday-trading-rules-to-boost-economy-12001529 Finally, some common sense. When there are queues outside shops, it surely makes sense to allow longer opening hours to reduce them and allow more spread out shopping in the stores. I can't...

The NHS "closed down" before lockdown. It was collapsing the week before as new measures were being introduced almost daily as the crisis deepened. It wasn't the lockdown that closed it - it was being swamped with Covid patients, Covid rampaging through the wards infecting people who were...

There are millions of vulnerable people who are also workers, carers, etc who can't just lock themselves inside. How about nurses, teachers, social workers, emergency workers, hospital consultants etc. How do you think "normal" things will continue to happen. How about our neighbour who's a...

There's a vaccine for seasonal flu. 283k affected is only that low because of the lockdown - if we'd done nothing it may well be in the millions now and still growing.

How about all those who went to Cheltenham and Anfield who've admitted they still went despite having symptoms. That's the problem - some numpties will ignore perfectly simple/sensible precautions which is why we need more extreme and heavy handed measures.

If all shops are open, then people will be spread out. At the moment, there may be a queue of 10 people outside a shop, but no others are open. We may well end up with 2-3 people queuing outside every shop, so it's all spread out. Also, there'll be a lot of people who won't be going shopping...

This is it! People need to start accepting their own role in all this rather than hypocritically blaming others. Breaking a rule because someone else broke a rule is pretty stupid when you look at the risks and repercussions.

But you can still pick up the books - presumably instead of putting them back on the shelf, you'll put them somewhere else for quarantine/reshelving later. That will give other customers peace of mind and will probably increase sales overall as some customers wouldn't want to risk handling a...

The NHS was virtually destroyed back in March where some hospitals were reporting 40% of their staff were either off sick or self isolating due to symptoms. You can't run any kind oh health service with no staff! That's why the NHS closed its doors to all but covid patients. If infections...

No "everyone" does it at all. They should, but they don't. Just like the hand washing requirement before lockdown. I went to a football match and most people were still walking out of the loos without washing their hands. A few weeks ago, a jogger passed me and spat on the ground just in...

There was no need for masks of public transport when we were in full lockdown because so few people were using it, they could usually spread out, and there was very little "covid" out in the community anyway. Now more people are returning to normal (commuters, shoppers, etc), it's blatantly...

My sister had been a dental nurse for 35 years. She can't understand what the problem is. She remembers going through the Aids/HIV fears when they had to take precautions to protect themselves without disrupting services. She says they wear masks, gloves and eye protection for everything...

Loads online, our local chemist has a pile of them on the counter, as does our local Spar shop.

My OH has been severely affected by this. In the middle of cancer treatment mid March which was abruptly stopped by a phone call from a receptionist on the morning scheduled for chemo. Waited 2/3 weeks for a call to say when it would start again, but radio silence. Started phoning the...

Two ways of looking at that. If there's no spike, then it may only be because of the recent lockdown, i.e. so few people infected. There's a chance that no one was infected & contageous at the protests so there was nothing to spread. It doesn't mean it's safe to do that, but only that it was...

I think the 71% was the figure for new starters rather than existing students going into years 2/3 etc. My son was due to start this September. He's probably going to change his Uni choice and go to our local one instead of one the other side of the country, so he can live at home and just go...
