Hand gel contains alcohol. Alcohol kills the virus. The pubs should be open and the government should be encouraging us all to get hammered to kill the virus. Simples. |  | |  |

Also, pubs have had it hardest of all businesses. We should therefore not allow in anyone not capable of drinking at least 2 pints an hour(p-number) anyone who's p-number falls below 2 should be asked to leave. |  |

Ive been saying for months- we are not locking down as hard as others, and are proceeding along the same lines as our neighbours when our figures just arent comparable. If masks are a benefit- make it now not 15 june. Ditto quarantine (though that makes little sense given most imports from abroad will be less likely to have the virus than the people already here...) The levels of arrogant ineptitide are hugely troubling. But they cant back down now can they? They cant say- sorry we screwed up- cancel all the shop openings, back to lockdown. Or they wont, at least. |  |

I didn’t go to Ikea pre lockdown and jiggered if I’m going to start now! |  | |  |

That was only a small blip on the general downward trend though and the number of infections was lower than it is here at the moment. We'll know in a week or two whether this is just a blip too I suppose. |  |

They can, but they won't. To be honest, they can't look any more incompetent if they did. I've been quite clear in sharing similar views to you Mr Sparks. We have got this wrong at every turn. I think they will try a 'local lockdown' at some point, but like everything else it will be a farce |  | |  |

Surely with households mixing for the first time in 12 weeks we are going to see the R number rise slightly? |  |

Indeed. They have made a complete dog's dinner over the relaxation of lock down. This really should have been done regionally imo, with London coming out first. |  |

Of course- but when your figures are as high as ours- a blip can become very big very fast. |  |
