1./ Brilliant thread. The Left is increasingly trapped in an anti-social, pro-lockdown rut in response to COVID despite there being more humane, pro-social and yet radical options. It needs to stop misusing ‘science’ to express its inner control-freakery.👇

2./ I’m surprised Sturgeon - who wants nightclubs closed that can’t guarantee social distancing - hasn’t suggested this advice for Christmas dinner…eating in separate rooms.😂 A real scientist suggested this; only proving that all science advice has to be weighed up by humans.👇

3./ The Left has too often made the joyless closing down of Life sound like a campaign of moral betterment. In Scotland, that includes an animus against anyone who runs a business. But history shows the public’s patience with Puritans usually wears thin.

4./ As for the future, this seems a likely & hopeful scenario from @BallouxFrancois. The brilliant science work that’s being done should allow us to boost, test, protect the vulnerable and, since our mental health requires sociability, return to near-normal by the Spring. 👇 4/4
