In general it's not a case of knowing better (or not). If one's intuition suggests one thing and expert advice suggests another, shouldn't one try to find out why there is that difference? Many of the responses in here start out like that but get taken as know-nothings thinking they know better, or know-betters scoring a hit, and it degenerates from there into implacably entrenched views. |

In the UK the government launched a helpline were people could volunteer to help the NHS take care of the vulnerable in the community. In a single night, 250,000 people signed up overshooting the target considerably. This is the spirit we like to see. Additionally supermarkets are allowing NHS staff in early and greeting them with applause and flowers. |

I dunno, I've grown up with a huge respect for the people in the UK. Y'know, "stiff upper lip" and all. They always seemed to be the "adults in the room" while the rest of the world is flailing around. Not sure how it's been in recent years, but it's good to see that they're yet again a role model. |

People like this land lady will be listed on it. When this is all over with these people can be rounded up and hung by their arms in the street for people to ridicule and humiliate them. |
