Sad that you think it is a valid comparison...

I see you still believe the Earth is flat then, but i do agree with you that this corona science has no basis in reality [let's shut the ice cream vendors down to make it safe for kids to return to school] and other such nonsense...........

Re: Coronavirus
It’s never been about activity A being safer than activity B. It’s about reducing interactions.
Schools have the added benefit of allowing those working from home to actually work from home and not be parents while banging out a couple of emails. Increasing productivity. Unless the ice cream shop wants to keep them 6 hours a day.

Interesting interpretation of what I posted - it explains a lot of your posts.
There’s no shame in not understanding something, but it’s not something to celebrate, either...

Microsoft Teams is not particularly enjoyable, like most M$ products, its UI is horrible. I dont think its restricted to "middle class" either.

I hate most Microsoft products but hey ho if it allows most to work from home then fair enough.
In other news.The BOE doesn't project as quick a recovery as it thought previously.

It’s a massive resource hog as well. You lot with your souped-up rigs probably don’t notice, but when missus suddenly started having to run her school class through MS Teams on her little Surface tablet/laptop thingy, it pretty much collapsed under the strain.

Re: Coronavirus
Probably the same assumptions as when the economy was going to crash, we'd all lose our jobs, there'd be massive food shortages and house prices would plummet to the equivalent of a 4 pack of Mars Bars . . ooops, got carried away there, sorry
