If I can bring myself to do so, I might check out a nearby Aldi and Lidl. Might even bump into OB!
Not in Aldi or Lidl, you won't!

It's lockdowns that drag this on forever. You are still clinging on to your belief that if you just lock everything down, the virus will simply go away. It won't, and this second wave coming back all over Europe is proof of that.

How many times must this happen before you finally come to terms with the fact that if each lockdown produces another wave at the end, further lockdowns will have exactly the same effect until it has infected sufficient people?

Lockdowns slow the infection rate. They do not eliminate it.

The science clearly supports masks. It always has. The British public couldn’t be trusted to be asked not to stockpile. So they downplayed the evidence.
What rubbish! The masks that are on sale to the public are pretty useless, and that is medical opinion. I get it that you disagree with that view.

I think most thinking people realise that the mask wearing is being encouraged to get nervous people out of their homes. It's not a safety measure, it's reassurance. What you might call a false sense of security.
