... or vastly more likely, none of those things.

Maybe they will get run over tomorrow, but that doesnt mean we ban all transport, or insist everyone who crosses the road wear a protective bubble.

No, but we do have pedestrian crossings, and teach the green cross code. and also other countries fine pedestrians for jaywalking

Indeed, but now let’s change it so that we drive on the right hand side of the road and instead of crossing on green we cross on red. All of a sudden what we’ve known previously is pretty much useless and we need time to update people with the changes. Until such time expect to see an increase in accidents and fatalities

No hugh it doesn't but then neither does flu and the last time we shut the nation down for flu since the 50's?, stop acting as though this is a virus with a high mortality rate because it isn't

We did 100 years ago and will in time do so again I'm sure, funny thing is though 100 years ago people could actually wear a mask.

Anyway, the Mail’s "War on Christmas" stories get earlier every year - it’s not even December yet…

They talking about bozo, not a very respectful way to talk about the PM...

Every over 18 year old to be offered a booster in an attempt to save Christmas, apparently

Not really, you started with the vehicular analogy, my apologies if you can’t follow where I’m taking it.
