Same here, mind you, we did go at 06:45 , and were back home by 08:00 ;)

It's best to go early still, if you wait then the shelves aren't fully stocked in the evening, nothing to do with dwindling stock just the gannets taking it faster than the supermarkets can re-stock them

That's got to be a fake picture. I thought only the Brits behaved badly.
Unfortunately not. I doubt if the majority were deliberately setting out to break the rules, they were desperate for a few hours away from the restrictions, and when the police tried to restore some semblance of order most were cooperative. Still no excuse in the current circumstances though.

About 20% - and this seems to be consistent figure from what I have read - became very aggressive. These are the covid deniers, those who have no intention of ever obeying any restrictions. Those who only change their minds on release from intensive care, and in a few instances those who continue to protest corona is not to blame even as they are dying (Hamburg clinic).

The irony is that just before Christmas three hospitals in the south of the Black Forest had to close to new admissions due to being overrun with corona patients.

3,725 Americans died from it yesterday, including a 41 yr old republican Senator elect, only 2 weeks after reporting his positive test. w/ a new variant that is more contagious, I don't understand why this country is so resistant to following the lead of smarter countries

will 3 - 4 thousand Americans die today from it? who will they be?
I have quite a lot of family on your side of the pond and was pretty shocked by their opinion on things and even if they would accept the vaccine should it be offered. I had to bite my tongue as I don't see them nearly enough to fall out over something they are not going to change their minds over.

Hancocky to speak in the Commons soon after 2.30pm. Expect Tier 5 to appear but who knows what extra measures that may add. Any guesses? Close schools? Close or near-close pee taking offices with bosses who refuse to allow working from home? Will he dare try to limit movement to essential reasons with a form filled out, French-style?

I think a 4 week or so lockdown, including the schools would help give the new vaccine a chance to do some good. I can't see it happening though as the school thing has just become so political.

understandable. I've done similar in limited situations. mostly not, calling out what is, for what it is. here's hoping for better times with our friends & family in the not too distant future
