There are so few people tested, the numbers given each night for the rate of infections seem meaningless. They might as well make them entertaining

There seems to be an agreement that now is not the time to criticise. Because it’s alright to object to what someone in charge is doing, when it doesn’t matter. But when it’s vital, that’s when you should let people get on with whatever they fancy. For example, if there’s a fire and you see a firefighter filling his hose with petrol instead of water, now is not the time to start carping. Just get behind him with all your support and start spraying.
