I understood social distancing was still 2mtrs, unless unable to, It then became 1mtr+. Both BBC & ITV are only stating 1mtr+.

Have you pre booked your ambulance taxi ride home?

I found the guidance for transport has changed yet again today.

Same risk as a game of golf apparently.

It does, of course, beg the question as to why pubs are open but schools shut.

How many schools donate to the Tory Party?

Because the UK government made a complete pigs ear of the public health message and the schools thing gained a momentum of its own with front pages and one on one interviews with very worried teachers and parents.

Dunno, you'll have to ask a Texan, any one should do. In the meantime, here's another;

That's why Professor Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Arizona, Dr. James P. Phillips, MD, the Chief of Disaster Medicine at GWU Emergency Medicine, and I developed a COVID-19 Risk Index to help you do this, based on four key factors:

You don't need all this US rubbish you just need to "stay alert" and look out for the covid monster. I've been looking and still not seen one thought I had the other day but it turned out I was looking at box of sugar puffs.
