Anyway going back to the original title of de tread I can reveal, having been in an MI6 meeting this morning in the south oxfds hq that there will be some limited lifting of restrictions tomorrow.
Wetherspoons will reopen but you have to do the smartphone app thing with the W in the circle for ordering and there will be no reasonably fit birds or blokes behind the bar. And nobody allowed to approach the bar within 2.78m. This is science fact not fiction. 2m is not enough.
People going to cinemas will have to wear rubber balaclavas and leggings.
You will be allowed to have a barbecue but no sex activities allowed with other persons during the cooking processes.
Boating is liable to annoy miserable people so will be encouraged and possibly made obligatory with some Police enforcement being discussed. If you are a boat owner and do not intend to use it then look at selling as failure to use a boat when required to do so may become a criminal offence.
Transport infrastructure as now. Do what you like but don't leave obviously dead people behind.
Obviously due to the OSA I can't reveal all the details but life will get easier from Monday.
And it will all be A-OK.

There will be an obligation to cycle everywhere, apart from those who are compelled to cruise on their boats. Reason being that buses an trains will be chock a block, despite only being 10% full. The natural alternative, for everyone to get in their cars spells disaster, traffic mayhem. The only alternative the minister and his cohorts can come up with is to have some kind of local hiring system for 'e bikes'. Now, I know that it's apparently good to run vehicles on electric rather than fossil fuels but a long standing argument against the more widespread use of motor bikes was 'it's too dangerous innit, don't you care about the NHS?' Get millions of people on e bikes, that's danger, proper danger.

Yes, before too many people work out they have been set up. I read today that the average age of coronavirus death victims is actually higher than the average age of death from all causes in the UK. Go figure. yup,......... No workplace accidents, no car accidents, and mostly because young twats are being stopped from doing their normal activities, can't buy butane refills, street drugs are getting harder to find, boy racers easier to spot ad nick because nobody else is driving, druggies can't buy drugs 'cos they can't go on the rob when everyone's at home, can't go and knife someone when there are no crowds ...... Truckers can't go murdering prozzies defeating Darwinism, that is a bummer

I doubt the drug trade has changed much unless people were driving 50 miles to score. A junkie will always find enough money to score his drugs one way or another - they'd make pretty determined businessmen with that experience if they'd just stand a week of cold turkey which is no worse than the flu. Maybe we'll see a load of spontaneous giving up - that would be a good thing for those people.

So very sorry ... ... jumped to conclusions (as ever). Cabbage is my least favourite vegetable - but, as you say, can be embellished (as with much in life!). Enjoy your new bike and new healthier lifestyle x Pedalling is the only form of exercise I ever enjoyed. When I was younger I was quite keen. I'll just have to see if there's anything left in the pot. I quit smoking a while back and suddenly anything seems possible. I shouldn't bother with the bike because there will not be enough left on the pot to satisfy you, I know because about 5 years ago heading for my 70s I bought a bike and tried to attain the speed that I had when I was racing......WRONG!! So I gave it away. Phil

Phil It might seem that way at first but if you stick at it, maybe for 5 times longer than you thought before you started exercising again, you'll realise there can still be quite a lot left in the pot.

Truckers can't go murdering prozzies defeating Darwinism, that is a bummer During the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic there were 80,000 deaths in the UK according to government figures. That was at a time the population here was over 11 million less than today. However, the vast majority of people who were around at that time would have no recollection of any scare or pandemic. If fact the main event of 1968 that still lingers in the public memory and is spoken about today, was the Woodstock festival. Why then during the mounting UK and worldwide death tolls was there no drastic action taken? The answer is simply that the world establishments did not agitate for it. There was therefore no mass hysteria and panic whipped up by the media. There was no regular propaganda forced on people at every TV commercial break. There wasn't the endless TV special reports. There were no lockdowns or damage to the economy. The virus simply ran its course and disappeared of its own accord.

I have no high regard for our, or indeed anyone elses government.
But it seems utterly illogical to suggest that the worlds governments have had a 'shared hysteria' moment, entirely without necessity or reasonable cause, perhaps in the process irreparably damaging their own economies in the process.
I cannot accept that as a serious suggestion ... it is weak to the point of idiocy.

The usual counter argument to what Vince wrote is that if it wasn't for the lock down measures and social distancing, far more people would die due to the NHS not coping. I think John was quoting 250,000. That was the theory before we knew how deadly the virus was. It appears from some studies that we got lucky as 50% of population don't even seem to get any symptoms. It looks like the lethality was overestimated but you could argue better to be safe than sorry. What I don't understand is the mixed messages throughout this. Do as I say, not as I do.
