Most people who know me would say I'm doing brilliantly. I don't talk about how hard it is to most people. They see me learning new languages, cooking different things, working hard every day, being productive, taking the chance to save hard for a flat deposit, getting through loads of books. They don't see the anxiety and the fear about the future, because I don't talk about it. Doesn't mean it's not there. People I'm close to are confiding in me about how much they're struggling - they're all outwardly successful, confident and happy. This is nothing out of the norm when it comes to mental illness. Can't believe a grown adult can't grasp this.

It doesn't mean anything in and of itself, you can be confident and productive and do all the things you want to do as far as you can right now, and still have those emotions...and still be ok

Larger operators who have multiple licences may close some of the less profitable pubs. Either way we are looking at a very changed pub environment in this country and it won't look like it did in the past for many years. Many pubs were in danger of closing anyway due to other factors, one of which is people are moving to a more healthy lifestyle.

Look I think hes done a good job but it's pointless giving interviews with his own opinion when the papers can turn that whatever way they want, ultimately it's the CMO and his team that will decide everything.

And in case it's not self-evident, one can go more than 2km from home by any of the above modes if it classes as an essential journey (purchasing essentials, or for essential work).

This is good but delicate as its direct result of restrictions and could rise quickly again if we aren't careful. /QUOTE] How can it rise quickly, we imported the virus them pretty much killed it before it went nuclear. We'd need to import it again.
