Whist the government has put emphasis on faces, hands and space, the WHO a few months ago published reports on aerosol spreading and the need for ventilation. It seems like we all need to add layers and keep the windows open.

Winter flu
Recent reports from Oz and NZ suggest that the winter flu season down under was almost non-existent! Is Covid-19 the grey squirrel to the native flu red swuirrel? It makes sense to think that social distancing and mask wearing would inhibit the spread of colds and coughs. And given the cost of influenza to this country every year (£30 billion in sick days) it would seem sensible to maintain current precautionary measures into the future?
Stop carping!
The latest mantra of the government to avoid answering difficult questions. They wish and behave like they are living in a dictatorship, but news for them, the role of the opposition is to scrutinise and criticise – hence the name opposition.
Chillies
I have lots of pretty red ones which are not hot at all. However I just had a quick bite off the end of a green one from a different plant. Eyes watering, half a pint of milk, lips numb! Wow!
Jokey Jo
So the PM is happy to quote international stats on testing. But maybe he should keep things in perspective. Highest death rate in Europe, weakest economy, poorest showing on helping refugees, I could go on! BUT whether we have the highest number of tests in Europe, or the World or the Universe (just anticipating the idiots next bluster!), IT IS NOT WORKING! I do not care how much better than anyone else, it is still crap!
So get it working, take control away from your cronies at Deloitte, return it to local NHS Trusts. These are people who we can trust, and if they get it wrong, will be held accountable rather than directors of a financial management company who will be on their private jet to wherever faster than the speed of light.
