Truly excellent. I have posted a link to your article on my Facebook page as part of my continued efforts to get banned from that cesspit. So far I have only managed to get somewhat shadow-banned. I hope this helps.

Many thanks for your endorsement! Glad you enjoyed it, and I'd like to think your FB friends might read it! Don't get banned *too* soon!

Excellent piece 👏 I've never watched The Sopranos but what an incredibly fitting comparison to the powers that should not be...

And thanks :)

Wasn't it "two weeks" to flatten the curve? Not three?

Well, in the big scheme of things it is neither here nor there four years on, however, my recollection is Boris declaring three weeks. I gather it does depend on where you were in the world in March 2020.

My memory loopholes, I thought they used two weeks, but may be wrong. Long two or three weeks.
