Like the social distancing and mask wearing, it should be left to individuals to decide. Covid is no longer the undefeatable menace it once was, and Omicron is weaker too.

The positive test may well be the only indication she gets of having the virus, papa.

Do you feel the same about drink-driving?

I'm surprised that motor vehicles haven't (yet) been fitted with sensors that measure your blood alcohol content when your hand(s) is on the steering wheel
They measure almost every other damn thing

It's not a comparison, neither is the seatbelt analogy, before you pull that one out too.

Re: Coronavirus
The covid-19 death figures have been a bit odd lately. ONS figures from their website.

Looks like they have been doing a little housekeeping and have some deaths that weren't included in past figures.

Why not - it’s a case of personal responsibility and boundaries; surely the driver knows what’s best for themselves and if they feel safe and able to drive safely, and it’s no one else’s business if they are over over the limit?

Why not? Or are you one of those finger-waggers who goes on about "what about other peoples’ safety"?…

Because it’s stupid, and although we go at each other all the time and we may have opinions of each other, you being stupid is not one of them.
I had a conversation with my son today about Personal Responsibility, because he hadn’t done his home work. …….nobody died, or was likely to die because he didn’t do his “ Grammer Hammer”…. That’s what it is called!
There is nuance, risk, responsibility and much more.
To try and simplify it as you are trying to do, is infantile and incorrect.

Re: Coronavirus
The figures for the UK have gone bonkers again.
No figures for yesterday (10th Feb), but today's figures for new cases is 220,396 higher than 9th Feb. Even if split between the two days that makes 110,198 per day which is well above the mid-to-high 60,000s it has been recently.
And the 7-day rolling average of death jumped and fell from a plateau which is highly unlikely.
