A lot of them are getting ready to reopen as well in some form, so cleaners in etc. This was fine for a couple of weeks but companies need to start getting people back in the office.

A lot of you sound like the same ****ing eejits that were calling for the likes of Morgan Kelly and David McWilliams to be "silenced" because they were "talking down" the economy back in 2008 when they correctly called the recession.

So yeah, I’d say the lockdown is his happy place

Y2K needs to be added to curricula worldwide since it's the perfect way of teaching this concept. "What a waste of money! Nothing happened at midnight!" is the exact same as saying "What a waste of money! ICU isn't even full!". Massive effort is sometimes required to avoid disaster.It's remarkable how grown adults cannot connect the dots and realise the problem was avoided. It seems that every successful proactive measure taken in the history of humanity has had some guy pipe up and say "Sure nothing happened! What was the point?!" while everyone else stands around awkwardly feeling sorry for his parents.

Therefore I doubt Luke will be impacted one way or the other, restrictions or no restrictions, he’ll still be here bleating away in the echo chamber, wondering where everyone else is gone. Or he’ll find something else to moan about. Some people are not happy unless we are all miserable, just like they are. A sort of equilibrium. I for one will not be participating in the misery porn, I am heading off out now to enjoy this rare beautiful day. I expect Bandit and his not so merry followers will still be here when I check in later.

Doctors and nurses who have families and a life unlike some asshats sitting in a pub in painters uniforms to avoid detection. The fact i have to explain this to you is very worrying and i wonder how many there are like you out there who just don't care about their fellow humans.
