What lockdown anyway? Transport activity was at 40% since start of “lockdown”, new infections did not drop like it happened in Spain/Italy, despite higher deaths - “lockdown” was too late and not strict enough.Comment

What's the daily death rate for the flu?
I've heard figures quoted for annual or seasonal, but never with sources quoted. So if you know the plan is to get down to a level, what is that level?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

People may follow the lockdown, but that's not the same as supporting the lockdown. Those on furlough pay with a safe job may be feeling fine, but those with little money coming in are not faring so well.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
