It's a good job that the rest of us are here to think for the Covidiots and cretins who are still hiding under the bed and want to stay there indefinitely.



These numbers should have all but disappeared by now but apparently, some people are terrified of life itself. Chaperones could make a comeback for this lot.

Here in Suffolk precautions are still being observed by most.

Outdoor mask wearing by very few, which is OK as not crowded. Indoors pretty much universal not least because shops etc. are pretty insistent on limited numbers inside and masks. Some polite request some an unequivocal “no mask no entry”.

Everything open and being patronised by holidaymakers like us.

I think terms like Covidiot and cretin are an understandable expression of frustration with folk who are essentially stubborn and awkward and whose actions have consequences for others who are trying to be collaborative and responsible

Welcome to Suffolk, John. It's marvellous but don't go telling everyone, they'll all want a bit of it.
