    Roughly in line with the UK’s figures (at least for cases). Maybe lagging a little due to the amount of testing? So it will be interesting to compare the responses from BoJo and Manu given a *similar* cases load.

    Obviously there’s a lot more that goes into how they might approach the decision but still…

  2. If there are restrictions please let them be as late as possible. End of January or mid-February would be ideal.

    Although no restrictions at all remains the preferable option

  3. When it would be an end? Maybe this kind of covid restrictions will follow human’s history to forever and become a part of so-called new normal?

    I’m quite curious how did people live through the Spanish flu hundred years ago?
