Fair play that seems like well founded analysis from MP O'Brien. And lies from the Daily Mail.

I spoke to my dad briefly yesterday. He is very keen on pointing out how badly the USA has managed Covid-19. I mentioned that the UK has a higher death rate than the USA, more deaths per million people. He got very annoyed and started blustering on about that being because we're recording the deaths properly and the USA aren't. There is not really any point arguing with him. He wants to think the UK is managing this well and will just get increasingly belligerent if you present any information to the contrary.

If the pubs in England have to stop serving at 10 but can stay open until 11 for drinking up, how does that make sense financially? It'll mean that publicans will incur the overheads including staff costs for an additional hour where they aren't earning any money...like much of this government's Covid-19 policies, it just doesn't seem thought through.

In reality, I think it’s just not thought through.

You do wonder if the people making the decisions have ever been to a normal pub.

Romania went into a second lockdown (though not as severe as the first one) on November 9th. Today numbers are starting to look slightly better as a result of that. Tomorrow will be a better indication, as usually Wednesday's number (representing Tuesday's new cases) tends to be the biggest of the week.
