Must be something about Waitrose …. the Hove store appears to have had wall to wall mask compliance since the scientists recommended their use. With or without security guards.

Woodland Drive PO this afternoon. A load of older teens not bothering along with their not bothering mum (great example), and a Russian? lady dressed head to stiletto’s in designer clothing yet couldn’t afford a mask. In a tiny shop I thought that a little disrespectful to the Sikh...

Despite the new face coverings law (not reg), this time backed by £200 fines, it’s being ignored in the main. My daughter took a few Brighton bus journeys yesterday, she said barely a mask in sight. In Halfords and B&Q Lewes Road today the same, a few characters with the ‘hilarious’ chin...

Agreed. Not just in the US and UK. A Euro pandemic expert was interviewed last week, he or she described 57% mask wearing in the EU this summer/autumn indoors in public places across the zone. Far better than in the Goldstone Lidl! But still 100m’s of blasé or arrogant refusers.

It seems to be only way. Supermarkets, taxis and all public transport. Why not?

Try; Lidl Goldstone Retail Park, ASDA Hollingbury, Sainsburys West Hove. Gardeners are a classy lot.

There was a press conference of Whitty etc and the health secretary about 6 weeks ago, where they asked us to wear masks in shops out of respect for the vulnerable. So I’ve tried to wear one since, for that reason, part of a collective getting numbers down. The irony is that on my shops at...

I try and steer clear of party politics on Covid stuff if I can. There are paragons of virtue, back seat drivers and hindsight merchants on both sides of the response debates. Some (politicians and the public) would have society in lockdowns most the time and kids deprived of a proper...

Have Swedish officials/scientists established why, like the UK, they have favourable key pandemic metrics just now, compared to the disastrous 4th wave on much of the continent?

Masks on London Underground & packed trains to/from London: From what we witnessed the sea change in public opinion happened about the beginning of August. A couple of weeks after the final Lockdown was lifted on 19 July. We went overseas from London City in late July. Still, about 90% of...

Genuinely, how's the lad faring now?

The UK was testing many fold more people per capita than its European neighbours, from March to July when the UK’s other Covid metrics were in a far better place than those other nations. When, necessarily there weren’t “a lot of people that need testing”. It’s a constant, just something the 4...

The French number isn’t on this website, but I found it elsewhere at 2,166.

The UK has lower total excess deaths per capita from the pandemic than: Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Rep, Slovakia, Hungary, Portugal and many other continental nations.

Commonplace. Mrs.W worked in nursing homes, the main one was incredibly profitable, all operated a zero sick pay policy. No ifs or buts, no matter the illness.

Proportionately, the unvaccinated do make up the vast majority of current deaths with Covid. This was cleared up on more than one occasion by Doctors Chris Smith and Linda Bauld, in their double act Q&A’s on TV. The numbers aren’t secret, but they knew where to look deep inside NHS or ONS data...

Boys with their toys.

I envy the hard tactics of those continental countries and wouldn't condemn our police for getting involved and doing that. My french neighbour said her countrymen/women are inherently beligerent and obstinate when it comes to the state pushing them around. Explaining the low vaccines uptake...

I'd discussed in detail in the past tense Wave 2 when there was blatant mask ignoring (when it was mandatory) by thugs, the arrogant and chancers playing Superman. You've commented on my comments about that period, when mask wearing was mandatory. Respectfully, what should we, shop owners, the...
