I've swapped to the"quite badly" camp now. Maybe it's because I suffer from SAD anyway. Maybe it's because I have a headache and nausea I just can't shake off. Maybe it's because I fall into the burned out healthcare worker category. I feel better outdoors , doing something physical. Today I...

I think withholding important data from the public in a public health crisis which could be used to encourage behavioural change would be beyond odd even by the standards of this government. Can't really envision the conversation: Track and Trace- "there have been a lot of cases in shops. People...

This is what should be happening. The French have converted some TGV stock into mobile ITUs to transfer patients to areas less stretched. We have this obsession in the UK health service about trying to treat patients in their local hospital. To put it bluntly it's not like the Covid patients...

Why would they keep it from us?

I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted here, but any virus that makes you ill enough to go to hospital will have a longer recovery period. You don't just magically get better when you are discharged. Covid is no different to any other respiratory virus. The media need to stop crowing on about...

The NHS will not be overwhelmed. The head of NHS Providers has said as much. Services may have to be reorganised and re prioritised, but the concept of people being turned away at the door has been invented by some elements of the media and government.

Doubt it. There has been no evidence anywhere of a cluster being traced back to a shop.

There seems to be a rule now that all photos on the BBC website, whether covid related or not, have to feature someone wearing a mask. At this time of year the same applies to wearing a poppy. The Royal British Legion says that you may choose to wear a poppy to show your support, and it should...

The SNP and Plaid Cymru abstained. So did some Scottish tories. And so they should have done. I'd like to hear why some Welsh Labour MPs, Scottish Lib Dems and the rest of the Scottish tories decided that voting in favour of an English lockdown thought they had any right to do so.

It's probably referring to "concession" type arrangements, rather than specific aisles, in particular restricting Argos in Sainsbury's to click & collect only.

Scottish I presume with that age cutoff.

38 Conservatives rebelled. Any MP who represents a constituency in Wales, Scotland or NI has no business to be voting in this. I hope they abstained.

I think the rule is that the shops concerned have to have an established click and collect service in place already (happy to be corrected). But to be honest who still goes in to Argos and leafs through the laminated catalogue these days? I'd say 80% of their business is C&C. 1604432071 My town...

Yep. Have written to mine and got a very reasonable response. But he is arch lockdown sceptic Sir Desmond Swayne, so I'm preaching to the converted.

My local record shop is staying open for click and collect vinyl. They are allowed to as their click and collect service is already established. The place is run by the biggest coronaphobe. If he's wanting to open it says something.

Off work today. Good old fashioned rhinovirus. I feel crap. However none of the big three symptoms. No fever, no cough, and I can still smell the marmite jar. But several people have said I should get a test (including some who should know better). This sort of thing is what's clogging up the...

You can still move house, as announced by the housing secretary on Breakfast telly.

Unless I've missed it, no one's said Kings Cross via the old Kings Cross Thameslink entrance.

No it isn't. The hospital will have surge capacity. They can divert major trauma to other hospitals. They can postpone routine surgery. Would it shock you if I said that the bulk of the time ITUs run to pretty much capacity, give or take a bed or two. It would be a national scandal if we didn't...

In addition, just before half term they were 10 minutes late opening the gates because they were waiting for it to stop raining. Notwithstanding that the kids were left outside in stair rod rain, it meant a clash at the entrance with the next year group.
