    "Covid safe"

    Which usually means "we pretend to follow guidelines", or alternatively - random guidelines that pretend to make something "safe".

    ..wasn't there a thread like this before?

    Lockdown
    Absolutely. It is not and never can be a lawful concept.


    Lockdown is a made up thing - an abberation. A most serious, sinister and severe crime against the world.

    Not too fond of the word uptick. What's wrong with saying an increase in the number of cases as opposed to an uptick in cases?

    The phrase Stephen Donnelly gets my goat every time.
    Mainly because he begins every answer with the word so, as though he thinks we're all stupid.

    Also when he starts telling what he knows as a lie he will start stuttering and stammering
