Would this include the UK? I can certainly hope so: Facebook says it may quit Europe over ban on sharing data with US EU court in July ruled there were insufficient safeguards against snooping by US intelligence agencies

Hopefully it will be the current government saying goodbye.

So-called PM appears to have done yet another U-turn. He has indulged in long-range planning: UK coronavirus live: Boris Johnson says new restrictions 'likely to remain in force for six months' I wonder how long it will actually be before they abandoned or substantially changed?

Then throw in the joker - a vaccine of uncertain efficacy. (Even if it were perfectly safe.)

And on your daily bus journey into work for a minimum wage job? £15 a day? Or abandon bus passengers so that they can pick up Covid-19 on their bus journeys? After all, the rest of us drive SUVs.

If someone is unemployed, will they have to pay for a test in order to attend an interview? Or even to get a bus or train to travel to it? Precluded from entertainment, education, probably health services as well? Will we have an understorey of society, forbidden to contact the rest of us...

I think that referred to his earlier trip...

Whatever happened to... Covid-secure marshals? About ten days and they have gone from pronouncement to, umm, the waste paper basket.

Of course, it is possible. I suspect not that many people with significant levels of dementia go to banks, speak (by name) with the manager, and conduct their own financial affairs. If I am wrong in this instance, I consider it unlikely that every "rude" person suffers dementia.

I have actually been amazed at how many are wearing masks - of all ages. I don't think I have seen a single young person not wearing one in a shop (other than very young children). But those who are not doing so (as in my example), seem to have a general attitude problem. Pushing in regardless...

Overall, you might very well be right. Since masks became compulsory here, the only people I have seen without have been distinctly at the old end of the scale. I was waiting in a queue outside a bank. Some chap turned up, I guess 60+, had a mask but it was under his chin, pushed past the...

The Covid-19 symptom tracker seems to have been at least as useful as anything the government has done. On a shoestring and only recently did it eventually get couple of million of public money. Despite its positives. (I know it does something very different.) Still waiting another four days...

When my mother was going downhill, she had two appointments with the dementia unit. Their only concern seemed to be deciding what type of dementia she had. Was it vascular? Or not? They decided it was probably some mixed sort. Did this make any difference? No. Did she die? Yes. About a year...

I think they misunderstood - in her CV they saw "track" and missed the word before, "horserace". They saw "trace" and missed the word after, "clip". They saw "test", and missed both the word before, "dope", and the person before them, "dope".

World-beating? Maybe if you see how much it is costing. Troubled test-and-trace system drafts in management consultants Guardian learns ‘hundreds’ of consultancy staff ‘on standby’ for ‘back-office’ roles with other firms contacted for help...

Of course, labelling pathology samples is a new challenge. They've never had to do that before. Actually, that might be true for accountancy companies like Deloitte.

No - the next obvious question was: What were the bottlenecks? And what did you do about them? Then "And just why do you now know? And Why did you do nothing?"

Suspect they'd have more luck if Shergar were developing the vaccine...

You should have watched Battle of the River Plate rather than Sinking the Bismarck. :) Didn't need so many ships to achieve the result.
