That's because the Virus knows not to attack until Monday,
The same way it knows not to attack people in Europe that socially distance at 1-1.5m instead of 2m
The same way it knows not to attack in pubs, but to attack in you home.
basically, there are that many different rules for where you are and who you're with at any particular time.....it's a very clever virus indeed.

Indeed - though jfman might have elaborated as I'm doing.
Hancock received political donations.

Harding is a member of the Jockey Club.

Whitty:
"This is not due to increased testing". Cites Belgium taking rapid, decisive action to giving a reasonable chance of bringing the rates under control. That's alright tho Terry from Twitter who is an anti-vaxxer tells me he's lying and it's a deep state conspiracy.

Re: Coronavirus
Meanwhile up here in the Calder Valley things carry on as normal, and restrictions and lockdowns are just something that happens to other people.
Indeed I’ll be going to karate next week, there’ll be a room full of approx 18 people, I might go for a drink afterwards in a pub full of 30-40 people.

Neither of those activities are, in and of themselves, against the rules.

Presumably changes in the law take a few days.
People will still get together regardless, just not "officially".
New rules ;

Although it’s never been about one activity necessarily being safer than another. It’s about driving down the number of close contacts. The average commuter on a packed tube train will have far more close contacts with people they don’t know than people they do. Aggregate that to 66 million people and people are interacting a small percentage of number before the pandemic.
Meeting a small number of friends in a busy pub a couple of times a week is neither here nor there.
