Hope business leaders listening to Whitty & Vallance realise that COVID is a long-term problem. Global pandemic setting records for new daily cases. Fastest way to get back up & running in UK is elimination. Otherwise risk of lockdowns again. Look ahead..https://t.co/N3SFfi3YKw

You can't have sex with someone you don't live with UNLESS one of you lives alone. If the other doesn't live alone, none of the people they live with can be having sex (or be platonically bubbled) with anyone else. And you can't switch who you have sex with.

Dead simple. 😐 https://t.co/PSlSKS4tuU
