Please don't obey the #RuleOfSix. It hasn't even been passed thru parliament as an act of law. No vote has taken place for it. We're at the stage now where the government is ruling by decree. If you obey this rule, you are endorsing a dictatorship.

Never mind that it makes no sense anyway. It's not 'only ever be near the same 5 people', it's 'dont be near more than 5 people at any one time.' so you could move from group to group and all intermingle and if there was a deadly virus it'd get around everyone anyway. 2/

Except it's not even that. It's not 'dont be near more than 5 people at any one time', it's my more like 'dont do anything for fun or with political purpose with any more than 5 people at any one time'. 3/

Cos you can still be surrounded by dozens of people at the supermarket or on the bus or at work or the gym, church or any number of other places. Basically no parties. Just don't have any fun.
It is utterly pointless. And if we agree to this, it will not stop. 4/

We were told lock down would be for 3wks to 'flatten the curve', that happened in May.
More people have died from regular flu than CV19 since mid June.
As we enter flu season there will be hype about a 2nd wave, just like there was hype all summer after various mass gatherings 5/

Nothing happened. Don't let them trick you into believing flu season is a second wave. It's not. It's flu season and it happens every year. It's sad that some people are more vulnerable to respiratory disease at that time of year, but it will never not be a thing. 6/

Handing over freedom in the name of trying to stop respiratory disease from occuring is futile.
Build your immune system (inc socialisation, the opposite of #RuleOfSix) & shield the vulnerable. Don't go round your nans house if you're ill. But we've always known that. 7/
