And you can agree with that - I personally think Macron is crap - but still think the UK is also rubbish
You'd think they would manage this well, in a boringly sensible Dutch fashion. Yet the Netherlands is having a very bad pandemic, almost as bad as Belgium next door.
Also having a bad second wave: Iceland

Better options were available.
And does it mean you can't see friends in bars or restaurants? I don't understand.
I just didn't expect it so soon and TBH I hadn't thought of all the consequences of no household mixing.
Of course no-one here who is still going to pubs and restaurants is paying a blind bit of notice to that requirement, and in my experience most pubs and restaurants are operating a don't ask, don't tell policy.

Tories wrong again
My problem is that government policies on anything from culture, economy to C-19 are massively influenced by the impact on London to the huge determent of all else.
Why I strongly support a Swiss style Federal system with huge devolution of powers to dozens and dozens of local assemblies.

If the police aren't doing spot checks in Cardiff, I can't see them doing spot checks in any tier 2 cities in England.
They are more interested in house parties and youths breaching the rule of 6.
Utter myth.
Best party scene and most sociable city in the world.
Those of us who work in schools pointed out that, however good the plans, putting loads of snot-encrusted whelps in crowded Victorian buildings with poor ventilation, or crowded modern buildings with no ventilation, was asking for trouble.
And here we are.
There are many documented cases now of people getting it twice. One of my wife's colleagues currently has it for the second time (PCR-test positive both times, months of weekly testing in-between saying negative).
This is going to kill the city and Sadiq is doing nothing to stop it the absolute massive c***.
They are never mentioned in the endless bluster and bluffing from Johnson and his fellows.
Personally I dislike some in the London-centric media who obsess over London while ignoring the rest of the country, but that's a judgement on those in the media who do that and not a judgement on either London or Londoners.
Nor is it unique to London. It seems that as far as the Northwest is concerned some people seem to think that only consists of Manchester and Liverpool. Its the exact same thing as the obsession with London.
Anti-London prejudice - utterly pathetic.
This is grim.
In that context, our performance has been woeful.
It covers all the risky bits of London

Vaccines generally give you a stronger antibody response than even recovery does but even they're not 100% effective in part because its still possible to get it a second time. I believe even if you have antibodies you can still pick up the virus again, pass it on again, but you're more likely to recover quicker because you've already got some antibodies. But the idea you are totally immune, can't get it and can't pass it on is false.
One thing I'm not sure about but I'm guessing if the virus does spread more ('herd immunity') it gives the virus more opportunities to evolve into another strain which evades 'immunity' from other strains.
