    Possibly, or they handle the glass normally, you pickup the glass they handled and then inadvertently touch your face later.

    Doesn't have to be a glass, could be anything.

    Bloody minefield potentially, i suppose it comes down to the law of averages, how likely is it to happen.

    Starbucks banned reusable cups for this reason. Pints in plastic cups when pubs reopen.

    I think a lot of supermarket deliveries are refusing to take back plastic bags for similar reasons.

    Turns out the government are recommending the use of a mask in enclosed spaces.

    Shame it wasn't mentioned in Johnson's speech

    This idea that literally anyone who can't work from home should be encouraged to go back to work still seems crazy. I already know of a few ppl who are returning tomorrow and have cherry picked what they can and shouldnt do i.e. take the bus to and from work.

    Imagine how many thousands, tens of thousands? will be doing that. Tomorrow should be interesting.

    ???

    Edit: what’s confusing you about my post? Think it’s fairly simple to read!

    The R rate was something like 4.6 in the UK at its peak iirc so yeh the graph is bollox.

    Much like the "we are literally testing hundreds of thousands every day".

    Yeah the chart seems like nonsense to me, like they are trying to dumb down the concept so people understand. Thought it immediately when it came on earlier and seemed to show the R being 1 as the top of the curve.

    The whole presentation was a #joke

    Why introduce a 5 point scale then say we're at 3.5 <laugh>

    Plus if the second highest deaths in the world is just a 3.5 what do they have planned for level 5?

    Yet another problem with the #graph - notice that there are 3 times as many cases/deaths in the "good" blue region than the "bad" red region?

    The colour just means yeah more people are dying but we're making more money now <laugh>

    #prediction the Tories are actively planning to cause 150k deaths and Boris repeating "could have been 500k" during his speech is so they can present it as a victory

    Sounds #legit
    The government are actively planning to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths. Makes perfect sense. Has @aberdude hacked your account?

    Change the word 'cause' for 'accept' and I think it's probably not far from the truth.

    Whatever happened to the under 20,000 target?

    IMO they reckon they can sell something like 150k as a win but they'll be disappointed with fewer than that in the sense that they could have opened the economy faster

    Best part of 50k are already dead and all Boris says is "we avoided a catastrophe" and "the NHS wasn't overworked" i.e. he thinks we could have coped with even more deaths

    If they'd coloured the red bit green it would've looked a lovely pond with a golf course.

    Again the point you’re trying to make gets lost by you saying stupid **** like they’ll be disappointed if less than 150k die. Surely even you realise how retarded that sounds?

    Just make a regular point like a regular person!

    The “we will have done really well if the number is only 20k” - clearly we didn’t do that well!
