    You can be in a park social distancing surrounded by dozens of strangers. But don't dare meet more than one person you know from another house at any one time.

    No we don't, assuming you mean deaths per 1,000 of the population..

    So dogging is still allowed providing it's someone you don't know getting pounded in the back of the van and you're bashing one off 2 metres away.

    Do any of you need to wear a home-made face covering?

    Yep. I wasn't aiming for clinical accuracy. It's impossible anyway with every country assessing figures in different ways and certain countries' figures being highly suspect anyway.
    Despite that it's pretty clear that this government's handling of the crisis has been pretty abysmal. They didn't want to stop the economy and only did so when it became clear we'd have a charnel house if they didn't. Now they're trying to reopen without actually saying so so that they can blame everyone else if it doesn't work.

    Whether or not we've managed a place on the fcking podium or not, 32k deaths is pretty damming.

    The messaging by the Government has been absolutely appalling throughout. From the PM proudly announcing that he'd been shaking hands with Coronavirus patients, to asking people not to go to pubs but not shutting them and then all the way to the shambles of Sunday's speech and subsequent attempts to clarify.

    As for the "Be alert" slogan, "Keep your distance", or "Protect each other" would've been better. Whilst I think I now understand the guidance, many parts of it doesn't seem practical or enforceable. Particularly the arrange to meet one person in public rule.

    I intend to report my next door neighbour to the police tomorrow. In accordance with government advice, he’s planning a picnic in Locke Park tomorrow but let it slip that he hasn’t got any scotch eggs. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS BREACH OF THE GUIDELINES. How on gods earth can it be a picnic without scotch eggs!!!
    I did a bit of checking re your question and fear it may end up more like this.
    According to the well respected ‘Rogers Profanisaurus’, the definition is thus:
    Ménage a moi. n. Fr. A three-in-a-bed romp where the two ladies fail to turn up. A ****.
    Mesome. n. A one-in-a-bed romp. A ****. “I’m off upstairs for me some.”
    Further definitions are available on request.

    All figures always spike on a Tuesday, but today even the infections are lower than normal. When we get to June hopefully Bojo sticks to wanting to test 200,000 a day and even with that we get closer to a thousand infections.
