I visited a very large furniture shop yesterday. Every member of staff was wearing a face shield. We were offered masks as we arrived and we were gently directed to the hand sanitising station as soon as we entered. I wish all stores would follow suit. I also wish the 4 devolved governements would get off the fence and make mask wearing mandatory indoors.
We could always rub it all over our faces and keep some in a nose spray and an eye dropper and gargle whisky maybe to keep our spirits up. The eye dropper means we probably wont be able to drive anyway. Or we could go dipso and keep a bottle of draft sherry in a brown paper bag nearby at all times. It's much cheaper than the pre bottled stuff.
The 1m distancing is interesting. Where I know it's being used masks are as well.
Now talk of testing arrivals to avoid 14days isolation. Been on a plane for ? how long. If one proves positive isolate the lot? If one just caught it in recent days no use and may still infect others. It's been tried and didn't work. Wiser countries have say a hotel for isolating them or in one case fit them with trackers. Asking people to has not worked out otherwise why changes in what they do.
The thing that gets me about this sort of thing is the press frenzy. Mentioned but no buts. All are at it at the moment. C4 just mentioned the German spike. Shortened news. Why bother as without details no point in mentioning it and R value doesn't really say much. More info available now - fairly flat information too. Not always the case with this lot
