Why bother?

+On the train to Leeds yesterday, and despite repeated requests over the tannoy for passengers to wear face masks (for everyone’s safety) unless exempt, at least half on board chose not to. Clearly they are a) completely immune to Covid and b) couldn’t care less about anybody else. But it’s not just idiots on a train. Watching the BBC Proms last night shots of the audience revealed that roughly the same proportion of them fitted conditions (a) and (b). I’m glad no-one sat next to me maskless, I might have had to ask them if they’re immune to a fat lip.
 
+The latest victim of UK supply chain pressures, largely brought on by Brexit, is a shortage of vials for blood tests, with GPs being told to restrict their use by the NHS until mid-September. Who could have guessed Brexit had so many benefits?
